( "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. Kelly -- Kelly Fitz, DSP Research Engineer Starkey Hearing Research Center
