When hearing music in an auditorium, audience is provided with aural information and visual information at the same time. Visual and auditory sense sometimes interact with each other so that the auditory sense is considered to have some influence on sound evaluation made by audience. The purpose of this study is to reveal an influence of visual information obtained in audience seats in a hall on subjective evaluation. We investigated the relationship between sound evaluation and whether a musical performance video as visual stimulus is provided or not, and between the sound evaluation and evaluation concerning the space at certain position in the audience seats. As a result, it was revealed that visual information gave statistically significant influence on sound evaluation.
