A method for reducing discomfort using beat tones for unpleasant sounds caused by high frequency pure tone
Naoki Suzuki, Kuroyanagi Susumu (Nitech) MBE2020-44
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In investigating musical compositions that have elements people made uncomfortable, we considered that one of the characteristics of discomfort is that they have a persistently loud and high-frequency pure tone component. A piece of music with this pure tone component causes people to feel uncomfortable, and as a result, its composer suffers the loss of the opportunity to have his music heard for their music. During the investigation, it was found that the music with similar characteristics but which is not significantly unpleasant has a beat to the corresponding pure tone component. In this study, we focused on the pure tone component to verify the effect of reducing discomfort, by adding a high-frequency pure tone component with a slightly different frequency.
