| Points out that a sound can be dissociated from its causal event unlike, for example, light/vision and that this dissociation has advantages and disadvantages. Because a sound can be representative of something other than its causal event (dissociated), sound designers need to understand the mapping of sound parameters to complex phenomena. Where no dissociation occurs, designers need to take into account sound context and listener expectations. | |
|
Discussing the exclamation function of sound (designed to get listener's attention), Ballas suggest that the perception of exclamation is a function mainly of SNL ratio. However, simply raising the level of a sound to gain greater urgency is not satisfactory and urgency can be more effectively communicated in other ways: |
|
| Discussing deixis type sounds which point to something (usually hidden information). Therefore, context is important (what are we pointing to in relation to the listener?) and such deictic sounds must be learnt in order to be interpreted correctly. 4 - 6 such sounds can be efficiently learnt -- if more specific deictic sounds are required, the solution would be to keep the 4 - 6 limit and supplement with visual display of the hidden information. | |
When sound functions as a simile, some property of the sound is being likened to a property existing in another domain. Correct interpretation can be improved by using commonly accepted relationships (which depend on many variables such as culture, musical training and so forth). One set of relationships might be:
|
|
| The metaphor function of sound is an extension of the simile function and ideally should communicate so effectively that the sound enters common usage (i.e. become dead metaphors). Something that can be correctly interpreted more quickly than equivalent speech. | |
| The onomatopoeic function of sound is where one sound has been designed to imitate another sound. Listener expectancy is a major fact both in associating a sound with a probable cause and associating a [potential] cause with a probable sound. | |

Some results affecting perceived urgency and related to c.2sec sound bursts comprising c.200ms pulses include: a) pulses with a fast 20ms onset and offset are perceived to be more urgent; b) pulses with short onset and long offset are less urgent than those with long onset and short offset and c) the more random the harmonic series the greater the perceived urgency. A possible explanation for b) is that long onset and short offset amplitude envelopes are typical of approaching objects while short onset and long offset envelopes are typical of receding objects. |

| "Taking a perspective motivated by ecological acoustics, we will then gradually work backward in evolutionary history to bring into view increasingly more basic constituents of auditory perception that became particularly apparent as “ basic expression,” and will connect these to more elementary dimensions of meaning, whose deepest roots ultimately can be seen in physics, reflecting very fundamental laws that connect physical and geometrical properties of our environment to sound characteristics in a rather universal manner, invariant over a wide range of conditions and time scales, so that evolution found ample occasion and time to imprint these regularities deeply into the brains of our predecessors and ourselves." | |
| "...the laws of physics themselves can be viewed as a kind of context information for extracting meaning from sound events. Compared to other contexts, the context given by physical laws was stable all the time, so that evolution had ample time to adapt our brains extremely well to the ways how physics links sounds and their causes." | |
