数据发音是一种通过声音表示数据的方法，已被用于各种应用中。在印度，针对妇女的犯罪日益令人关切。我们探讨了数据声音化的潜力，以提供一个身临其境的参与与印度各州对妇女的犯罪敏感数据。涵盖印度35个州的9类犯罪的数据来自国家记录，时间跨度为12年。采用参数映射和听觉图标的声化技术：将频率、振幅和音色等声音参数用于表示犯罪数据，并将女性尖叫声作为听觉图标来强调创伤经历。较高的犯罪率被赋予较高的频率，更刺耳的尖叫声纹理和更大的振幅。开发了一个用户友好的界面，具有多个选项，可用于顺序和比较数据发音。通过该界面，用户可以评估和比较不同州、不同年份或不同犯罪类别对妇女的犯罪程度。声音空间化用于使听众沉浸在声音中，并进一步强化发声体验。为了评估和验证有效性，对20名参与者进行了用户研究，并通过问卷调查获得反馈。回应表明，参与者可以很容易地理解数据中的趋势，并发现数据声音化体验具有影响力。因此，在社会和人类研究领域，声音化可能是一种有价值的数据表示工具。
Data sonification is a means of representing data through sound and has been utilized in a variety of applications. Crime against women has been a rising concern in India. We explore the potential of data sonification to provide an immersive engagement with sensitive data on crime against women in Indian states. The data for nine crime categories covering thirty-five Indian states over a period of twelve years is acquired from National records. Sonification techniques of parameter mapping and auditory icons are adopted: sound parameters such as frequencies, amplitudes and timbres are incorporated to represent the crime data, and audio sounds of women screams are employed as auditory icons to emphasize the traumatic experience. Higher crime rates are assigned higher frequencies, harsher scream textures and larger amplitudes. A user-friendly interface is developed with multiple options for sequential and comparative data sonification. Through the interface, a user can evaluate and compare the extent of crime against women in different states, years or crime categories. Sound spatialization is used to immerse the listener in the sound and further intensify the sonification experience. To assess and validate effectiveness, a user study on twenty participants is conducted with feedback obtained through questionnaires. The responses indicate that the participants could comprehend trends in the data easily and found the data sonification experience impactful. Sonification may therefore prove to be a valuable tool for data representation in fields related to social and human studies.
