본 논문에서는 객관적으로 정량화된 복합 신호음의 조화도를 새로운 심리 음향 파라미터로 제안하였다. 사람이 복합신호음을 인지하는 과정에서 발생하는 masking 효과, 등청감 곡선, criticalband 등의 심리음향학적인 모델들을 적용시킨 후, 그 소리가 어느정도의 조화도를 갖는지를 정량화시키는 모델을 제안하였고, 이를 검증하기 위하여 복합음으로 구성된 자동차 Horn 신호로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 알고리즘에 의하여 정량화된 객관적인 조화도와 청취 평가를 통한 주관적인 조화도가 0.95의 cross correlation을 보였다. 현재 객관적인 심리음향학적인 파라미터로는 Zwicker 파라미터 외에는 거의 전무한 상태여서 제안하는 알고리즘을 통하여 소리의 심리음향학적인 효과를 보다 객관적으로 파악하는 데에 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

This study is directed toward determining the number and characteristics of psychologically meaningful perceptual dimensions required for assessing the sound Ouaiity with respect to vehicle interior and/or exterior noises. and toward identifying the acoustical or psychoacoustical bases underlying the perception. By nonmetric MDS and clustring analysis of sound quality data sets on our own, of critical importance are two perceptual dimensions for which subjective verdicts can be interpreted as loudness and sharpness. The perceptual dimensions based upon similarity judgments could be accounted for 48% and 24% of the variance. each of which might be a match for the acoustic parameter "A-weighted maximum pressure level"(r= .85) and for the psychoacoustic parameter "sharpness" (r= .65), respectively. On the other hand, the perceptual dimensions based upon preference ratings could explain 66% and 10% of the variance. where the acoustic parameter "A-weighted maximum pressure leve"(r= .92) might be taken to be a best predictor, but sharpness appeared to be less suitable for the description of Preference behavior. Linked to the results, the problems of quantitative modelling of subjective sound quality evaluation and also of implementing corresponding cognitive combination rule for technical and industrial applications, say having "winner-sound qualify" according to preference criteria will be shortly in discussion.

Just noticeable differences (jnds) of autocorrelation function (ACF) parameters - Phi (0), Tau 1 and Phi 1 - of household refrigerator noise were investigated by psychoacoustical analyses. Phi (0) of five refrigerators' noise was changed with equal (${\pm}$) interval level of 0.5-1.0 dB up to five intervals by manipulating sound pressure level of the noise. Tau 1 and Phi 1 were varied with equal (${\pm}$) interval of around 0.10 ms and 0.02, respectively. Pitch shifting and strengthen methods were applied for the Tau 1 and Phi 1 variations. As results of subjective evaluations, about 2.0 dB was shown as jnd of Phi (0). The values of 0.30 ms and 0.06 were found as jnds of Tau 1 and Phi 1, respectively. The jnd results of each ACF parameter can be applied to explain substantial amount of sound quality (SQ) enhancement in the SQ prediction indices which were proposed in the authors' previous study [Sato et al. (2007) J. Acoust. Soc. Am.].
