Among many aspects of a sound, its loudness and noisiness are capable of numerical scaling. An experiment has been carried out with untrained listeners which may lead to a scale of unpleasantness. It has been shown that consistent rank-ordering is possible and that there is a large measure of agreement between individuals. Comparison with the scales of loudness and noisiness show that unpleasantness is not directly related to these measures.
