Concurrent categorical scaling of sound quality measures (CCSM) – Database of psychoacoustic measures roughness, sharpness, tonality, loudness and annoyance of artificial and real sounds

To connect sound quality with other psychoacoustic measures experimentally and for model evaluation, a benchmark set of simultaneously assessed measures with a large set of signals is highly desirable. Hence, two experiments were conducted, in which roughness, sharpness, tonality, loudness and annoyance were assessed for a total of 129 artificial and real sounds by normal-hearing listeners using a categorical scale and corresponding instrumental measures were calculated. The instrumental loudness was equalized for most of the sounds to limit the influence of loudness. Please note that sounds, that were taken from public databases are not included in the dataset.
