Dear Amit The concept of pleasantness has been used in several studies dealing with the sound qualities of various products. It is introduced in [1] and, for instance, applied in [2, 3, 4]. If you're interested in sound quality, we have reviewed the different approaches to sound quality found in the literature (among which "pleasantness", and the work by Maffiolo et al. cited in Virgnie's reply) in [5].
