“…In the field of sonification research, many works highlight that there is a need for, but a lack of, comprehensive sonification design guidelines (Nees and Walker, 2009 ; Ibrahim et al, 2011 ; Supper, 2012 ). In contrast to that, many sonification evaluation methods, especially listening tests (Seiça et al, 2020 ), have proven their value in several studies.…”

“…Neuhoff et al ( 2002 ) underline the need for interdisciplinary research for developing and evaluating auditory displays. Typically, sonification evaluations with potential end-users are presented in the sonification literature (Seiça et al, 2020 ), rather than initial self-tests (Ibrahim et al, 2011 ). To evaluate their sonification design, many researchers let users solve a task with auditory, visual, and audiovisual guidance (Lokki and Gröhn, 2005 ; Black et al, 2017 ; Ziemer and Schultheis, 2019a ), others compare multiple sonification designs for a specific task (Walker and Lindsay, 2006 ; Albrecht et al, 2016 ; Komatsu and Yamada, 2016 ; Parseihian et al, 2016 ).…”

The sonification of data to communicate information to a user is a relatively new approach that established itself around the 1990s. To date, many researchers have designed their individual sonification from scratch. There are no standards in sonification design and evaluation. But researchers and practitioners have formulated several requirements and established several methods. There is a wide consensus that psychoacocustics could play an important role in the sonification design and evaluation phase. But this requires a) an adaption of psychoacoustic methods to the signal types of sonification and b) a preparation of the sonification for the psychoacoustic experiment procedure. In this method paper, we present a PsychoAcoustical Method for the Perceptual Analysis of multidimensional Sonification (PAMPAS) dedicated to the researchers of sonification. A well-defined and well-established, efficient, reliable, and replicable just noticeable difference (JND) experiment using the maximum likelihood procedure (MLP) serves as the basis to achieve perceptual linearity of parameter mapping during the sonification design stage and to identify and quantify perceptual effects during the sonification evaluation stage, namely the perceptual resolution, hysteresis effects and perceptual interferences. The experiment results are scores from standardized data space and a standardized procedure. These scores can serve to compare multiple sonification designs of a single researcher or even among different research groups. This method can supplement other sonification designs and evaluation methods from a perceptual viewpoint.

Although Voice Assistants are ubiquitously available for some years now, the interaction is still monotonous and utilitarian. Sound design offers conceptual and methodological research to design auditive interfaces. Our work aims to complement and supplement voice interaction with sonic overlays to enrich the user experience. Therefore, we followed a user-centered design process to develop a sound library for weather forecasts based on empirical results from a user survey of associative mapping. After analyzing the data, we created audio clips for seven weather conditions and evaluated the perceived combination of sound and speech with 15 participants in an interview study. Our findings show that supplementing speech with soundscapes is a promising concept that communicates information and induces emotions with a positive affect for the user experience of Voice Assistants. Besides a novel design approach and a collection of sound overlays, we provide four design implications to support voice interaction designers.
