Abstract
 This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Japanese sibilant sound observed from the acoustic analysis. The data of this study were in the form of sound samples from 16 respondents who spoke Javanese in Japanese language learners at the university and 8 Japanese native speakers. The respondents were asked to pronounce vocabulary containing Japanese sibilant sounds at the beginning and middle of a total of 72 words which have meaning. Then, the sample of Indonesian and Japanese respondent's sound was measured using Praat software to find their duration, intensity and Center of Gravity (CoG) of the sibilant sound. The measurement results are carried out an analysis of 2 factors, namely consonant type and sound position, using anova statistics. The duration, intensity and Center of Gravity measurement results show that the two factors (consonant type and sound position) are statistically significant. The distribution of sibilant sound duration is from 68 ms to 144 ms, and the distribution of sibilant sound intensity is from 50 dB to 60 dB. The results of the Center of Gravity (CoG) measurements show that among the learners, the CoG values are in the average range of /s/ = 7 kHz, /z/ = 6 kHz, /ɕ/ = 5 kHz, and /ʑ/ = 4 kHz, while among the native speakers, the CoG values are in the average range of /s/ = 8 kHz, /z/ = 8 kHz, /ɕ/ = 6 kHz, and /ʑ/ = 6 kHz.
 Key words: (a) acoustic analysis, (b) Japanese sibilant, (c) duration, (d) Center of Gravity (CoG)

Summary
Sejarah Artikel: Diterima Juli 2020 Disetujui September 2020 Dipublikasikan Oktober 2020. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis ciri-ciri bunyi sibilant bahasa Jepang dilihat dari analisis akustik. Data penelitian ini berupa sampel suara dari 16 orang responden yang berbahasa ibu bahasa Jawa pembelajar bahasa Jepang di universitas dan 8 orang native speaker bahasa Jepang. Pengambilan sampel suara dilakukan dengan cara meminta responden untuk melafalkan kosakata yang mengandung bunyi sibilant bahasa Jepang di awal dan tengah kata sebanyak 72 kata yang memiliki makna. Sampel suara responden diukur menggunakan perangkat lunak Praat untuk menemukan durasi, intensitas dan Center of Gravity (CoG), kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan 2 faktor, yaitu faktor jenis konsonan dan posisi bunyi sibilant dengan menggunakan statistik anova. Dari hasil analisis diketahui bahwa baik durasi, intensitas maupun Center of Gravity menunjukkan bahwa kedua faktor (jenis konsonan dan posisi bunyi) secara statistik signifikan.
