Abstract
This paper deals with electronic sounds as one of the most common human-machine interface experimentally. The electronic sound is used as one of the very common means of human machine interface. Few investigations of how human feels to such the simple sounds noisy or comfortable, exist. The electronic sound must be designed by considering how or in what situation it is used. Our goal is developing a system evaluating electronic sounds to support designing electronic sound based on feeling evaluation.
6 words for evaluating electronic sounds are selected. To decrease the number of evaluation, the design of experiments is applied. Feeling evaluation experiments are carried out and the human auditory physiological feeling data about each 32 electronic sound are obtained. The experimental data obtained by evaluation tests were stored into artificial neural network. The network can automatically evaluate simple electronic sounds based on human feelings.
