Abstract
In a previous paper presented in the 29th International Congress of Sound and Vibration (ICSV29), the developments on establishing “Soundscape Indices” (SSID) were outlined, including: the SSID Protocol for field soundscape survey and laboratory listening tests, establishment of an open International Soundscape Database (ISD), relationships among psychological, (psycho)acoustical, neural and physiological, and contextual factors including soundscape evaluation in different languages and cultures, a soundscape analysis tool for soundscape researchers (Soundscapy), and an integrated soundscape prediction model. This paper presents the current development towards a single soundscape index. Firstly, based on the ISD and the Soundscape Circumplex Model, a method has been developed to determine the distance between a given/designed soundscape scenario and an ideal/target soundscape scenario considering their differences and similarities, for the purpose of defining standard and bespoke soundscape perception indices. A first implementation of this method is demonstrated to propose a use-case soundscape index via the ranking of a number of typical soundscape scenarios, using a series of laboratory experiments, considering the overall soundscape quality evaluation. Consequently, a flexible framework for defining single-value Soundscape Perception Indices (SPI) is provided and a standard use-case index is proposed.
