Abstract:
Understanding the comprehensive sound perceptions is a major challenge in translating the affective needs and responses of drivers and passengers into the human-centered design of seat-belt warning sound (SBWS). Due to the various sound impressions of SBWS, sound quality has multiple impacts on driving safety, pleasure, stress, and so forth. This paper aims to derive a specified psychological factor structure for the sound perceptions of SBWS and to rebuild the connections between the psychological and acoustic attributes. Kansei (emotional or affective) evaluation is employed to collect the affective responses to 20 sound stimuli from 10 experts and 134 other participants. The perceived sound quality is expressed by 11 psychological attributes: “cheerful,” “interesting,” “lovely,” “comfortable,” “nervous,” “cordial,” “advanced,” “crisp,” “nostalgic,” “aroused,” and “weak.”
