The goal of the present study was to determine, (1) whether auditory unpleasantness is jugded consistently across a wide range of acoustic stimuli, and (2) which sound features contribute to that sensation. To that effect, all possible paired comparisons on a heterogeneous set of ten environmental sounds were collected from 60 listeners. The judgments conformed with the highly restrictive BTL model [1], thus justifying a ratio-scale representation of perceived unpleasantness. The resulting scale values varied by a factor exceeding 100 (boat diesel vs. jackhammer). While they were not predicted by differences in A-weighted sound pressure level, a linear combination of the psychoacoustic parameters of roughness and sharpness accounted for more than 94% of the variance in perceived unpleasantness.
