Review of 13 published data sets reporting environmental sound norms.

Demographic details for all respondents.
Figure 1.
Frequency distributions for variables measured.
Histograms show distribution frequencies and curves of best fit for: A) Correct item identification, B) Correct category identification, C) Familiarity ratings, where the higher the number the lower the familiarity, D) Representativeness, where the higher the number the less representative of an object the sound is, E) Affective ratings for pleasantness, where the higher the number the less pleasant the reaction is to the sound, and F) Arousal ratings, where the higher the number the more calm/sleepy the reaction is to the sound.
Figure 2.
Scatterplots for significant correlations.
Correlations with regression line are shown for: A) Identification/Familiarity, B) Identification/Representativeness, C) Identification/Pleasantness, D) Familiarity/Representativeness, E) Familiarity/Pleasantness, F) Representativeness/Pleasantness, G) Representativeness/Arousal, and H) Pleasantness/Arousal.

Cognitive and affective ratings for living versus manmade concepts.
Figure 3.
Frequency distributions for variables measured.
Histograms show distribution frequencies and curves of best fit for: A) Correct item identification, B) Mean reaction time, C) Confidence ratings, where the higher the number the higher the confidence, D) Imageability ratings, where the higher the number the more imageable an object is.

Scatterplots for significant correlations.
Correlations with regression line are shown for: A) Identification/Reaction time, B) Identification/Imageability, C) Identification/Confidence, D) Reaction time/Imageability, E) Reaction time/Confidence, F) Confidence/Imageability.
