Further ezamination of ON/OFF temporal patterns of auditory signals recommended in JIS S 0013

JIS S 0013, a Japanese Industrial Standard on auditory signals, recommends ON/OFF temporal patterns to be used for consumer products. In this standard, ON/OFF patterns are determined according to the function of auditory signals, e.g. end signals and caution signals. Therefore, when both end and caution signals are used, or when two or more end signals or caution signals are used in the same product, the following two problems arise: (1) product users might be unable to distinguish among different auditory signals; and (2) product designers might have difficulty choosing the most appropriate signal(s) from among the recommended ones. To solve these problems, psychoacoustic experiments were conducted in which listeners judged dissimilarity and evaluated impressions of auditory signals prescribed in the JIS. Based on results of experimentation, the authors identified caution signals that might be confused with end signals and ON/OFF signal patterns to be selected when two or more signals are used in a single product. The results will serve as a basis for future revision of the JIS and international standardization of auditory signals.
