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.

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 Annoyance / University of Leiden / Netherlands -- Dr Jan Schnupp University of Oxford Dept. of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics Sherrington Building - Parks Road Oxford OX1 3PT - UK +44-1865-272513 www.oxfordhearing.com -- Dr. Bob CarlyonMRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit15 Chaucer Rd.Cambridge CB2 7EFEnglandPhone: +44 1223 355294 ext 651Fax: +44 1223 359062www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
