Influence on Musical Sound Quality by Bone-conducted Ultrasounds

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Although it is generally accepted that humans cannot perceive sounds in the frequency range above 20 kHz, the existence of “inaudible” high-frequency components affect the acoustic perception of audible sounds [1]. Humans can detect ultrasound up to at least 100 kHz, but perception generally requires direct contact of the source with the head. In our previous paper [2], it can be found that the hearing area at the mastoid is from 0.315 m/s2 (the threshold of audibility) to 100 m/s2 (the threshold of feeling) at 40 kHz. In this paper, it is experimentally discussed whether the existence of bone-conducted ultrasounds may affect the acoustic perception of audible sounds for the gamelan music of Bali recorded in Super Audio CD (SACD), which is extremely rich in high-frequency components. From the results, it can be said that the significant differences were found between sounds with and without the bone-conducted ultrasound components for the gamelan music among the subjective impressions: “spaciousness,” “powerfulness,” “higher tone dominant,” “instruments in imbalance,” “sharpness,” “unpleasantness” and “tiredness.”
