Rising tones and rustling noises: Metaphors in gestural depictions of sounds
Communicating an auditory experience with words is a difficult task and, in consequence, people often rely on imitative non-verbal vocalizations and gestures. This work explored the combination of such vocalizations and gestures to communicate auditory sensations and representations elicited by non-vocal everyday sounds. Whereas our previous studies have analyzed vocal imitations, the present r...
متن کاملScraping Sounds and Disgusting Noises
1 Abstract Thirty-four horrible sounds have been examined in an Internet-based psychoacoustic experiment. This paper presents the results for the scraping and disgusting noises used. It is not understood why some humans find certain scraping noises, such as the sound of fingernails being scraped down a blackboard, so terrible. In this experiment, the variation in rating with age, gender and loc...
متن کاملCues for acoustic detection of prey: insect rustling sounds and the influence of walking substrate.
When insects walk, they generally produce sounds. These can reveal the walkers' presence and location to potential predators such as owls, bats and nocturnal primates. Additionally, predators might extract information on taxon, palatability, size or profitability from the rustling sounds. In contrast to ear morphology, hearing physiology and psychoacoustics of acoustically oriented predators, l...
متن کاملGestural Embodiment of Environmental Sounds: an Experimental Study
In this paper we present an experimental study concerning gestural embodiment of environmental sounds in a listening context. The presented work is part of a project aiming at modeling movement-sound relationships, with the end goal of proposing novel approaches for designing musical instruments and sounding objects. The experiment is based on sound stimuli corresponding to “causal” and “non-ca...
متن کاملPerceptual confusability of Mandarin sounds, tones and syllables
This paper reports a perceptual identification study for Mandarin sounds, tones and whole syllables, using phonotactically plausible non-word stimuli covered in white noise. The results showed that while the accuracy of whole-syllable identification could be estimated by the independent accuracy of initial and final identification, syllable-level confusability patterns were related to, but not ...
