Abstract
The theme of multisensory product experience appears to be today very up-to-date in the design research. But even if some senses such as sight and touch have been deeply examined, other senses such as hearing still represent a gap in the current scientific research. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative tool conceived in aid to designers dealing with sounding objects, in order to integrate this aspect into the meta-projectual phase; furthermore, this work will demonstrate the validity of the cognitive investigation methodology applied to the sound perception in design.
