Despite decades of research into perception of Western music there are no studies applying experimental methods to perception of traditional Australian music. This project investigates a parameter present in all auditory events, from animal songs and alarms to music and speech: loudness. Results concerning the universality of loudness change and effects on mood and arousal will be reported to academic and local communities. Understanding how people experience loudness has implications for non-musical uses of sound, eg. more effective uses of loudness in non-verbal auditory warnings. Identifying effects of loudness on arousal and mood is also relevant to research on therapeutic or harmful effects of music and other sounds.

尽管对西方音乐感知的研究已经进行了几十年，但还没有研究将实验方法应用于对澳大利亚传统音乐的感知。这个项目研究了所有听觉事件中存在的一个参数，从动物的歌声和警报到音乐和语音：响度。有关响度变化的普遍性及其对情绪和觉醒的影响的结果将报告给学术界和当地社区。理解人们是如何体验声音的，对声音的非音乐用途也有启示。在非言语的听觉警告中更有效地使用音量。确定音量对唤醒和情绪的影响也与音乐和其他声音的治疗或有害影响的研究有关。
