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.
