It is grounded in findings from psychoacoustic research: How do people hear, and what role do their personal listening history and individual listening preferences play in this process?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound design for moving images is a domain of practitioners in which knowledge is primarily passed down orally. Consequently, there are very few studies in the literature addressing the question of why the audio channel is perceived by audiences as adequate to the visual channel and as effective in its immersive impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat fundamental considerations must be taken into account in auditory design? Why do we experience some audiovisual works as more immersive and more poerful in their effect than others?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a listening test, 240 participants were each played a video through headphones in stereo in one of four versions (two different films, each combined with one of four audio types). The results of this study confirm the practical insight of many professional sound designers: that the sound track, in terms of its immersive effect, constitutes a distinct, highly specialized medium of communication. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9.45 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629229715677,"sku":"9798950184246","price":120.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/656FAKMPB-9798950184246.webp?v=1789793445","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/how-sound-design-works-from-psychoacoustics-to-auditory-media-and-product-design-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
