Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three experiments on loudness of sounds with linearly increasing levels were performed: global loudness was measured using direct ratings, loudness change was measured using direct and indirect estimations. Results revealed differences between direct and indirect estimations of loudness change, indicating that the underlying perceptual phenomena are not the same. The effect of ramp size is small for the former and important for the latter. A similar trend was revealed between global loudness and direct estimations of loudness change according to the end level, suggesting they may have been confounded. Measures provided by direct estimations of loudness change are more participant-dependent.
