Sound Quality POC
A commercial proof of concept for comparing sounds using psychoacoustic metrics.
The problem
Engineers needed to compare sounds using loudness, sharpness, roughness, and tonality without losing the signal context.
My contribution
Helped design the metric-comparison workflow.
Connected metric results to the compared signals.
Contributed to user evaluation and workflow refinement.
Technical approach
Group metrics around a step-by-step comparison.
Keep the source signals visible beside metric results.
Refine terminology and ordering with specialist feedback.
How I checked it
Observed whether users could identify differences between sounds.
Checked metric labels and conclusions against the available evidence.
Used feedback to simplify confusing steps.
