Upcoming Events :: Psychoacoustics Measurement Seminar
Sound quality assessment has become an integral part of product design of many industries, ranging from
automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics to software. The sounds made by a product
contribute to its usability, enjoyment, and brand identity— in some cases in more compelling ways than its
form or functionality. This jointly organized seminar from Embedded Systems Community and TME Systems Pte
Ltd, aims to discuss the role of sound quality in product design and the various solutions in measuring it.
“The sound of an automobile door closing is a classic example. Compare the sounds of doors closing on 2 cars,
one of which costs 3 times as much as the other. You can tell which one is the more expensive car. The first is
an Audi A4; the second is a Ford Escort.” - Richard H. Lyon, Cambridge, Massachusetts, “Product Sound Quality
– from Perception to Design”
