The current dataset provides all the sound stimuli (wav files) to recreate the figures from the study with the title "Considerations for the perceptual evaluation of steady-state and time-varying sounds using psychoacoustic metrics" by the same authors. There are three datasets: dataset 1 for fly-by aircraft sounds (directory 1-Aircraft-fly-by), dataset 2 for pass-by train sounds (directory 2-Train-pass-by), and dataset 3 for sounds from a resonating tube called hummer (directory 3-Hummer-resonances). A brief description of the datasets is included. The reproduction of figures requires the installation of the sound quality analysis toolbox (SQAT) for MATLAB. Use these data: Download all these data, locate them in a local directory of your computer. If you have MATLAB and you downloaded a local copy of the SQAT toolbox (open access at: https://github.com/ggrecow/SQAT) you can recreate the figures of our paper. After downloading and initialising the toolbox (type 'startup_SQAT;', without quotation marks in MATLAB), run the script copy_sounds_for_pub_Osses2023c_to_SQAT.m. This last step is not required but recommended. Subsequently, you can run the toolbox script pub_Osses2023c_Forum_Acusticum_SQAT.m and follow the instructions on screen.
