Japanese high school students showed varied sound preferences based on sex, personality, and region. Daily sound exposure was linked to their environment and sex, revealing distinct auditory experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Psychology
  • Acoustic Perception
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Understanding individual and group differences in environmental sound perception is crucial for urban planning and well-being.
  • Previous research has explored soundscape preferences, but comprehensive studies linking demographics, personality, and environmental factors are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate preferences for 25 typical environmental sounds among Japanese high school students.
  • To examine the influence of sex, personality, and regional factors on sound preferences.
  • To explore the relationship between self-reported sound frequency and residential environment/sex.

Main Methods:

  • A written questionnaire was administered to 936 Japanese high school students.
  • Participants rated their preferences for 25 distinct environmental sounds.

  • Data on sex, personality traits, regional background, and daily sound exposure were collected.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant sex-related, personality-related, and regional variations in sound preferences were identified.
    • The frequency of hearing environmental sounds daily correlated with the students' residential environment and sex.
    • Certain sounds elicited universally different preference patterns across demographic groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Environmental sound preferences are multifaceted, influenced by a complex interplay of individual and social factors.
    • Demographic variables like sex and residential environment play a significant role in shaping daily sound exposure and perception.
    • Further research is needed to explore the psychological impact of these varied sound experiences.
