The OROS Sound Quality software module is designed for the objective and subjective evaluation of sound quality, focusing on psychoacoustic metrics and intuitive sound design. It enables engineers and designers to assess how products are perceived acoustically, supporting the development of quieter, more comfortable, and higher-quality products. The software provides accurate and standardized psychoacoustic metrics, interactive sound filtering (frequency and order-based), auditory spectrograms for time-frequency analysis, and innovative editing tools for sound resynthesis. It is suitable for applications such as vehicle cabin noise, appliance sound evaluation, and prototype benchmarking, and integrates seamlessly with OROS hardware and data management platforms.
