Abstract
Dette projekt undersøger de korte melodiske lyde, der bruges som lydsignaler på togstationer, inspireret af systemer i Japan. Vi designer nye melodiske alarmer med omtanke for deres musikalske og akustiske egenskaber og udvikler prototyper. Gennem lyttetests undersøger vi, hvordan musikalske træk påvirker, hvor let lydene er at lære at genkende og huske (lærbarhed), og hvilke lyde folk foretrækker. Målet er at finde måder at gøre melodiske alarmer mere virkningsfulde. Resultaterne kan være relevante for komponister, forskere og industridesignere.
This project examines the short melodic sounds used as auditory signals at train stations, inspired by systems in Japan. We design new melodic alarms with careful attention to their musical and acoustic characteristics and build prototypes. Through listening tests, we study how musical features influence how easily people can learn to recognize and remember the sounds (learnability) and which ones they prefer. The goal is to identify ways to make melodic alarms more effective. The findings may interest music composers, researchers, and industrial designers.
