We have conducted basic experiments for applying acoustic information to engineering problems. We asked the subjects to execute lifting while listening to the sounds, and we measured resultant lifting-force. We focused on an artificial sound as acoustic information aiming to expand the range of magnitude of lifting-force that is exerted by human. Especially, we attempt to clarify the acoustical features that artificial sound should have for making lifting-force much smaller. We indicated that lifting-force was made small in case of artificial sound as same as in case of onomatopoeia.
