最近，鲍林、普尔夫斯和吉尔（2018 a）发现，人们认为频谱类似于谐波系列的和弦更协和。这与他们的声音相似性假说（VSH）是一致的，该假说认为和谐的经验是基于对类似人类发声的声音的进化偏好。为了排除和谐性和熟悉性之间的混淆，我们扩展了Bowling et al.的（2018 a）程序，以和弦从非传统的Bohlen-Pierce半音阶（BPCJ）的规模。我们还评估了和谐性和协和之间的关联是否由音色调节，通过呈现从钢琴或单簧管样本产生的和弦。结果未能直接复制这种关联;然而，和声性和协和之间的正相关性的证据确实出现在音色后，事后排除和弦包含的间隔，特别是类似于传统的平均脾气的二重奏。补充回归分析，使用更全面的措施的和谐证实了其积极的关联与协和评级的BPCJ和弦，但也表明，频谱干扰独立促成这些评级。总之，我们的研究结果是一致的VSH，但是，他们也表明，一个复合模型，将调和性以及光谱干扰作为预测因子，将最好的解释协和判断的方差。
RECENTLY, BOWLING, PURVES, AND GILL (2018a), found that individuals perceive chords with spectra resembling a harmonic series as more consonant. This is consistent with their vocal similarity hypothesis (VSH), the notion that the experience of consonance is based on an evolved preference for sounds that resemble human vocalizations. To rule out confounding between harmonicity and familiarity, we extended Bowling et al.'s (2018a) procedure to chords from the unconventional Bohlen-Pierce chromatic just (BPCJ) scale. We also assessed whether the association between harmonicity and consonance was moderated by timbre by presenting chords generated from either piano or clarinet samples. Results failed to straightforwardly replicate this association; however, evidence of a positive correlation between harmonicity and consonance did emerge across timbres following post hoc exclusion of chords containing intervals that were particularly similar to conventional equal-tempered dyads. Supplementary regression analyses using a more comprehensive measure of harmonicity confirmed its positive association with consonance ratings of BPCJ chords, yet also showed that spectral interference independently contributed to these ratings. In sum, our results are consistent with the VSH; however, they also suggest that a composite model, incorporating both harmonicity as well as spectral interference as predictors, would best account for variance in consonance judgments.
