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. <br> <br> Jan<br> <br> <div><span class=3D"gmail_quote">On 17/09/2007, <b class=3D"gmail_sendername">pieter jan stallen</b> <<a href=3D"mailto:pj.stallen@xxxxxxxx">pj.stallen@xxxxxxxx</a>> wrote:= </span> <blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt = 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor=3D"#ffffff"> <div> <p style=3D"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang=3D"EN-US">Dear List,</span= ></p> <p style=3D"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang=3D"EN-US">Does anyone know= of<span>=C2=A0 </span>experimental psychological data reported which refutes (or not) the<span>=C2=A0</span>hypothesis: the perception of object O as "has= <i>much</i> of quality X" predisposes to the perception also of "has <i>much</i> of quality Y"?
