Group 1: Subjects assess different snoring and breath sounds on a visual analog scale (VAS) for level of annoyance. This psychometrics (subjective assessments) and psychoacoustics (objective psychomet
loudness, roughness, sharpness and fluctuation strength) are correlated by a linear regression analysis. The quality of the resulting formula is checked, and additional validation is performed using s
