A new measure of sound evaluation

Sound is a major component of the customer experience (product use, pack, overall experience…), but yet often forgotten in consumer research.

Discover how to optimize your mix by integrating sound in a simple and agile test: a spontaneous and emotional evaluation to measure and understand the impact of sound on consumer perception.

A new measurement, based on spontaneous and emotional reactions, to understand the impact of sound on consumer perception:

• Measure and discriminate different sounds to identify which ones delight (or irritate) consumers the most,
• Evaluate the impact of the sounds, their perceptions and associated evocative territories (functional and emotional): description, evocations, induced image (positioning and characteristics), identification / encoding / link to the brand…
• Identify the key drivers for a successful sound, in line with the desired positioning/mix
• Predicting emotional activation via acoustic data modeling (expert or technical data)

Discover this approach through two case studies in the cosmetics and automobile industries:

• Packaging sounds: evaluation of a dozen make‑up packs through their opening or closing sound
• Car door sounds: evaluation of 8 vehicles and modeling to predict consumer reaction
