“…The processes involved in the perception of the sound source have been described in terms of a loop (Pastore, Flint, Gaston, & Solomon, 2008): the mechanics of the sound source structures the acoustical signal (e.g., Fletcher & Rossing, 1991) and the sound properties are used to perceive the mechanical properties of the sound source (e.g., Carello, Wagman, & Turvey, 2003;McAdams, 1993). The perceptual process requires at least two decisions: first about which acoustical properties are to be taken into account (e.g., sound frequency), and second about how acoustical information should be weighted perceptually (e.g., the log perceived height of a struck plate approximately doubles with an eight-fold increase in log sound frequency, see Kunkler-Peck and Turvey, 2000, for details).…”
