Relationship between Subjective Loudness of Vehicle Acceleration Sound and the Vehicle Styling

自動車加速音の主観評価によるラウドネスと車両デザインとの関係について

In this study, an influence of vehicle styling impression on loudness of acceleration sound was investigated. Luxury or sporty vehicle images were presented to the subjects as the acceleration sounds were being replayed to investigate the influence. The results indicated that the subjects who drove vehicles frequently felt that the acceleration sound presented with the luxury vehicle image was louder than that with sporty vehicle image. But the loudness did not change largely in rarely driving subjects. Consequently, it was clarified that the subjective loudness changed depending on the vehicle styling and the driving frequency of the subject.現在まで，自動車の音質向上を目的に様々な定量化の試みが行なわれてきた．一方で，視覚情報の提示による聴覚的な印象変化についても近年研究が進められている．本研究では，自動車加速音の主観的な大きさを対象に，車両デザインの違いにより，音の大きさがどのように変化するのか，ということについて調査を行なった．
