Soundscape Attributes Translation Project (SATP) Dataset

The data and audio included here were collected for the Soundscape Attributes Translation Project (SATP). First introduced in Aletta et. al. (2020), the SATP is an attempt to provide validated translations of soundscape attributes in languages other than English. The recordings were used for headphones - based listening experiments. The data are provided to accompany publications resulting from this project and to provide a unique dataset of 1000s of perceptual responses to a standardised set of urban soundscape recordings. This dataset is the result of efforts from hundreds of researchers, students, assistants, PIs, and participants from institutions around the world. We have made an attempt to list every contributor to this Zenodo repo; if you feel you should be included, please get in touch. Citation: If you use the SATP dataset or part of it, please cite our paper describing the data collection and this dataset itself. Overview: The SATP dataset consists of 27 30-sec binaural audio recordings made in urban public spaces in London and one 60 sec stereo calibration signal. The recordings were made at locations as reported in Table 1 of the README.md (Recording locations), at various times of day by an operator wearing a binaural kit consisting of BHS II microphones and a SQobold (HEAD acoustics) device. Recordings were then exported to WAV via the ArtemiS SUITE software, using the original dynamic range from HDF. The listening experiment and the calibration procedure were intended for a headphone playback system (Sennheiser HD650 or similar open-back headphones recommended). The recordings were selected from an initial set of 80 recordings through a pilot study to ensure the test set had an even coverage of the soundscape circumplex space. These recordings were sent to the partner institutions (see Table 2 of the README.md) and assessed by approximately 30 participants in the institution's target language. The questionnaire used in each assessment is a translation of Method A Questionnaire, ISO 12913-2:2018. Each institution carried out their own lab experiment to collect data, then submitted their data to the team at UCL to compile into a single dataset. Some institutions included additional questions or translation options; the combined dataset (`SATP Dataset v1.x.xlsx`) includes only the base set of questions, the extended set of questions from each institution is included in the `Institution Datasets` folder. In all, SATP Dataset v1.2 contains 17,441 samples, including 645 participants, for 27 recordings, in 19 languages with contributions from 29 institutions. Format: The audio recordings are provided as 24 bit, 48 kHz, stereo WAV files. The combined dataset and Institutional datasets are provided as long tidy data tables in .xlsx files. Calibration: The recommended calibration approach was based on the open-circuit voltage (OCV) procedure which was considered most accessible but other calibration procedures are also possible (Lam et. al. (2022)). The provided calibration file is a computer generated sine wave at 1kHz, matching a sine wave recorded using the exact same setup at SPL of 94 dB. In case of the calibration signal playback level set to match SPL of 94 dB at the eardrum, all the 27 samples should be reproduced at realistic loudness. More details on OCV calibration procedure and other options you can find in Lam et. al. (2022) and the attached documentation. PLEASE DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF NOR THE PARTICIPANTS TO THE CALIBRATION SIGNAL SET AT THE REALISTIC LEVEL AS IT CAN CAUSE HARM.

We encourage other researchers to replicate the SATP protocol and contribute new languages to the dataset. We also encourage the use of these recordings and the perceptual data for further soundscape research purposes. Please provide the proper attribution and get in touch with the authors if you would like to contribute a new translation or for any other collaborations.

本数据集与配套音频均为声景属性翻译项目（Soundscape Attributes Translation Project, SATP）采集所得。该项目于Aletta等人（2020）的研究中首次提出，旨在为非英语语言提供经过验证的声景属性译法。本次采集的音频用于基于头戴式耳机的听觉实验。本数据集随本项目的研究成果一同发布，收录了数千份针对标准化城市声景录音的人类感知响应数据，是一份独具特色的数据集。本数据集凝聚了全球各地科研机构数百名研究人员、学生、助理、首席研究员以及实验参与者的心血。我们已尝试列出本Zenodo仓库的所有贡献者；若您认为自身应被纳入贡献名单，请与我们联系。

数据集概览：SATP数据集包含27段时长30秒的伦敦城市公共空间双耳录音，以及一段时长60秒的立体校准信号。所有录音均由操作员佩戴由BHS II麦克风与SQobold（HEAD acoustics公司）设备组成的双耳采集套件，于一日中不同时段在README.md文档的表1（录音位置）中列出的地点录制。随后通过ArtemiS SUITE软件将录音导出为WAV格式，保留了HDF文件中的原始动态范围。本听觉实验与校准流程适配头戴式耳机回放系统（推荐使用森海塞尔HD650或同款开放式耳机）。本次收录的27段录音从初始的80段录音中通过预实验筛选而来，以确保测试集能够均匀覆盖声景环形空间。随后这些录音被分发至各合作科研机构（详见README.md的表2），由约30名以目标语言为母语的参与者进行评估。各机构使用的评估问卷均为ISO 12913-2:2018标准中A类问卷的译版。各机构自行开展实验室实验以采集数据，随后将数据提交至伦敦大学学院（UCL）团队，最终整合为统一的数据集。部分机构在评估中增设了额外问题或译法选项；整合后的数据集（`SATP Dataset v1.x.xlsx`）仅包含基础问题集，各机构的扩展问题集收录于`Institution Datasets`文件夹中。总体而言，SATP Dataset v1.2版本共包含17441份样本，涵盖来自29家机构的645名参与者针对27段录音的评估数据，覆盖19种语言。

数据格式：音频录音以24位、48kHz采样率的立体WAV格式提供。整合数据集与各机构数据集均为长格式整洁数据表，以.xlsx文件形式存储。

校准说明：推荐的校准方法基于开路电压（open-circuit voltage, OCV）流程，该流程被认为最易于操作，但也可采用其他校准流程（Lam等人，2022）。本次提供的校准文件为计算机生成的1kHz正弦波，与使用完全相同的采集设置在94dB声压级（sound pressure level, SPL）下录制的正弦波一致。若将校准信号的回放电平调整至与鼓膜处94dB声压级匹配，则27段录音均能以真实响度回放。有关OCV校准流程与其他可选方案的更多细节，请参阅Lam等人（2022）的研究与随附文档。【重要提示】请勿将自身或实验参与者暴露于真实响度级别的校准信号中，否则可能造成听力损伤。
