Subject: [AUDITORY] [Fwd: Re: cross-modality-size-loud]
Is there likely to be some pitch-with-resonance component? -
ie, larger objects have longer 'intrinsic reverberation'
(body resonance) than smaller, other things being equal
(material, etc) - and this actually tends to be lower, for
larger objects regards ppl

Dear Peter,
if you hit a large bell and a small bell, how loud they are
does not depend on size, but on how hard you hit them. The
larger the object the deeper the sound, because resonant
frequency is proportional to mass. So if there is a link with
size, then it should be pitch more than loudness.

psychological data reported which refutes (or not) the
hypothesis: the perception of object O as "has much of quality X"
predisposes to the perception also of "has much of quality
Y"? E.g., is there empirical evidence for cross-modal bonds
like "large objects (much of size) are loud objects (much of
sound)" ? Although I see brain research approaching the
subject (e.g. http://www.dhushara.com/pdf/synesthesia.pdf )
I have not (yet) found so much empirical psychology about
such metaphors. I may not have studied carefully enough the
synaestesia literature, but appreciate any more specific
'forwardings' then.Pieter Jan Stallen / Chair Community Noise
