Ekman, I., & Kajastila, R. 2009, February 11–13, Localisation cues affect emotional judgements: Results from a user study on scary sound. Unpublished paper presented at AES 35th International Conference, London.

Following on work by:
R. Reber, N. Schwarz, and P. Winkielman, “Processing Fluency and Aesthetic Pleasure: Is Beauty in the Perceiver's Processing Experience?” Personality and Social Psychology Review, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 364—382 (2004).

the authors suggest that negativity in sound perception is proportional to the fluency and ease of processing it (more difficult to understand, more scary).
Results showed that:
1. front point sounds were less scary than back point sounds.
2. front point sounds are less scary than back spread sounds.
3. Following on from 2., increasing the spread of front sounds and decreasing the spread of back sounds lessened the difference in scariness.
