abstract = "As a result of psychoacoustic research, a set of psychoacoustic indices has been developed which allow for an instrumental prediction of attributes of hearing events. These indices offer in combination with acoustic workstations for aurally-adequate sound recording, standard
signal analysis and signal moditication powerful tools for the assessment, evaluation, and improvement of sounds. Nevertheless, a closer look to the instrumentally calculated measures shows that the current technique still is far from simulating human sound perception and evaluation
in all its facets. They have to be more regarded as tools to evaluate specific features of sounds, and less to give a global and final evaluation result. Thus the user of instrumental methods has to be aware of the meaning of all the indices from both, the psychoacoustical and the instrumental
point of view he has to have the corresponding expertise. It is not the intention of this article to recommend one of the tools for sound quality evaluation which are available on the market. The comparison shows that the systems have different philosophies with regard to their hard-
and software basis, so that the appropriate system for each user has to be selected according to his specific requirements, his working environment, and personal preferences.",
