This research presents evidence for the preference of a water soundscape through listening evaluation. As a form of meditation, listening to water sounds is a tool often used to provide positive emotional and psychological restoration. 20 water soundscape samples based on natural and man-made sounds were chosen and varied by their sound in relation to architecture and material. A semantic differential questionnaire was created with nine pairs of contractual sound qualities. 66 young adults and 29 elderly subjects participated in this listening evaluation. The objective of the research is to discern which water soundscape sample is preferred by the participants for a stress-free acoustic environment.
The results are divided into a young adult group and an elderly group. 92% of the young adults and 78% of the elderly participants had a positive impression of a soft, quiet, and mid frequency sound of a gentle stream and aquarium water, respectively. On the contrary, 77% of a young adults and 78% of the elderly participants had a negative impression of a loud, intense, and broadband sound for rain on a glass roof sound and a toilet flush sound, respectively. Water soundscapes in a free sound field open space were more preferred over water soundscapes in an enclosed room with reverberant space, like a bathroom. Based on principal component analysis, attractiveness, serenity, and water movement contributed the most to the positive and negative impressions. A gentle stream can be used for an outdoor stress-free acoustic environment and a desktop aquarium can be placed inside a room for indoor stress-free environment purposes. Stiff roofing materials should be avoided if a quieter listening environment is required and bathrooms should be designed to absorb and isolate toilet flushing sounds for quietness and adjacent space conditions.
