Previous research has shown that the perceived reverberation in a room, or reverberance, depends on the sound source that is being listened to. In a study by Osses et al. [(2017) J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 141(4), EL381-EL387], reverberance estimates obtained from an auditory model for 23 musical instrument sounds in 8 rooms supported this sound-source dependency. As a follow-up to that study, a listening experiment with 24 participants was conducted using a subset of the original sounds with the purpose of mapping each test sound onto a reverberance scale. The experimentally-obtained reverberance estimates were significantly correlated with the simulated reverberance, providing further evidence that the sensation of reverberance is sound-source dependent.
