As a mean to evaluate the feeling of cloth, a study on the correlation between psychological sensation evaluated by using the semantic differential method, mainly the auditory sense and frictional sound produced by rubbing the cloth was performed. This paper also investigated the threshold value of the auditory organ and various sound pressures of 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000Hz frequencies.
The result of this study has shown that when the 37 subjects were classified according to 1 standard deviation of semantic differential scores, a very high correlation could be found among them such as creaking-500 Hz (L), 4000Hz (R), squeaking-4000Hz (R), swishing-8000Hz (R), and rustling-8000Hz (R) (R stands for right ear, and L stands for left ear.) .
