"The effect of visual stimuli on the horribleness of awful sounds," in 
Applied Acoustics,  Trevor J. Cox, Acoustics Research Centre, University 
of Salford.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2007.02.010

This paper reports on the online paradigm used to collect information on 
horribleness of sounds, and how the perception of auditory horribleness 
is altered by visual stimuli (see also the sound101.org website). And 
it's the only paper I know of that uses the word "horribleness" in the 
title.
