This study examined whether a gradually rising pre-wake alarm affects the morning awakening experience differently from a sustained version of the same alarm. In a 14-night home-based within-subjects study, 18 participants experienced both alarm conditions and reported morning states and waking-up behavior. The gradually rising alarm was associated with significantly higher morning positive...

Breathing is an increasingly being explored as an alternative input technique and is intrinsically linked to sound production. The sound of breath is directly affected by our emotional and physiological state while fine conscious control of the breath-sound loop is possible, as demonstrated by wind instrument players. Despite this, breath as an input technique has not received much attention...

This study investigated crossmodal correspondences across cultures between acoustic properties of user interface sounds and five sensations: finish, weight, opacity, texture and physical state. Correspondences between these sensations and mean fundamental frequency (f0), melodic and loudness contour, and dissonance in 30 sounds were compared across three countries: France, China, and the USA....

The quiet sound profile of electric trucks can reduce auditory cues related to speed and acceleration, potentially affecting the driver´s sense of feedback andcontrol. Therefore, it is relevant to examine whether active sound design can optimize the driver experience. A simulator study was conducted to explorewhether adding complex tonal sounds can improve the driving experience and change...

Tonality strongly affects the perceived quality and annoyance of vehicle interior noise. This study evaluates two widely used tonality metrics—the Aures tonality metric and the Sottek psychoacoustic Hearing Model tonality metric (ECMA-418-2)—against subjective ratings collected in two complementary listening experiments. Stimuli were drawn from chassis-dynamometer recordings of four vehicles...
