Abstract
The testing of sound designs often involves only expert evaluations; training is commonly required when non-experts participate, which can alter the listening experience. This paper presents a method of evaluating sound designs for radio and audio logos that avoids listener training. Sound designs incorporating sound effects, music or dialogue can be broken down into discrete sound events that can then be rated using attributes of sound meaningful to both designers and listeners. Two examples are discussed, a radio drama, and a set of audio logos. Both of which were tested using a repertory grid approach. The paper shows that the method can highlight similarities and differences between designer and participant listening experiences. Comparing listening experiences could allow designers to be more confident about the reception of their sound designs.
