The '''evaluation of sound from fabrics''' is a sound evaluation process where the noise of fabrics can be linked to emotions. This was first attempted by research conducted in 2002.<ref name="yi">Yi, E., Gilsoo, C., Youngjoo, N., & Casali, J. G. (2002). A Fabric Sound Evaluation System for Totally Auditory-Sensible Textiles. Textile research journal : publication of Textile Research Institute, Inc. and the Textile Foundation, 72, 638-644.</ref>
 
==Background==
 
The experience of wearing clothes is a necessity in life that people need in order to protect their bodies from conditions in the world around them. As part of this experience, the need to feel comfortable and at ease in one’s clothes is required by some people, whether it is for health or personal reasons. The levels of comfort from wearing clothes can be determined under three of [[Sense|the five methods of perception]].
 
Vision is obviously important for style and appearance in most cultures, as is touch when determining the materials of clothing for specific target audiences, such as children or the elderly. Surprisingly, the sound of clothes is becoming an interesting topic of study for researchers and clothing manufacturers alike, as it has been previously implied that sounds fabrics can make from the daily wear of clothing may contribute to the sensory experience.<ref>Bishop, D. (1996). Fabrics: Sensory and Mechanical Properties. Textile Progress, 26, 1-57.</ref>
In order to determine the levels of comfort that can be achieved from various fabrics, a system that can evaluate the sound levels omitted by these materials would have to be considered and applied.
 
==Evaluating Sound from Fabrics==
 
In order to deliver the sound evaluation system that has been discussed in this research, the following sound parameters need to be obtained:
*The level pressure of total sound (LPT)
*Sound colour factors (∆L and ∆f)
*Constants of [[autoregressive model]]s that are based on the [[Fast Fourier transform|fast Fourier transform algorithm ]](FFT). These coefficients are ARC, ARF and ARE.
*The loudness (z) and sharpness (z) parameters from [[psychoacoustic]] models <ref>Zwicker, E., & Fastle, H. (2007). Psychoacoustics: Facts and Models. Berlin: Springer Berlin Heidelberg.</ref>
*Mechanical properties from the [[Kawabata Evaluation System]] (KES).
 
To generate these properties, the fabric sounds need to be created in a consistent process. A device was constructed to assist in this effort, known as a measuring apparatus for fabric noise (MAFN). The MAFN creates the sound by rubbing two pieces of fabric together on a belt-pulley. The fabrics are attached to a moveable plate which is connected to two weights suspended on a wire rope. The weights counterbalance to create a pulling effect causing the fabrics to move, creating friction and audible noise levels. A microphone is positioned at the point where the two pieces of fabric make contact in order to capture the best possible sound.
 
In order to record how the sound of fabrics affects human sensations, an evaluation of the sounds created is required from a number of different subjects. In the research phase, thirty university students were asked for their assessment in the form of a questionnaire. The different sounds made by seven different fabrics were to be judged on by seven different attributes, clearness, highness, loudness, pleasantness, roughness, sharpness and softness, in the format of free-modulus magnitude estimation (FMME). A FMME is a method of magnitude estimation. In this example, after listening to the different sounds, participants were asked to give a numerical value to the first sound they heard. Then, based on that value given, they were asked to give a value to the next value. Once all of the values have been given, an average of multiple participants’ can be collated. The end result is the data being presented in a rational scale.<ref>Snow, M., & Williges, R. (1998). Empirical models based on free-modulus magnitude estimation of perceived presence in virtual environments. Human Factors, 40(3), 386-402.</ref>
The psychological characteristics that are categorised in this process are softness, loudness, sharpness, clearness, roughness, highness and pleasantness. In order to establish a connection between these characteristics and the objective measurements that have been recorded from the FMME, stepwise block linear regression is employed as a modified regression model. This is achieved by following the steps that Kawabata proposed in the KES<ref>Kawabata, S., & Niwa, M. (1989). Fabric Performance in Clothing Manufacture. The Journal of the Textile Institute, 80(1), 19-50.</ref> to establish prediction models for primary hand values.<ref name="yi" />
The value for each sensation is shown in a table of values in the report<ref name="yi" /> with the model applied being shown below:
 
<big><math>Y=C_0 + \sum_{i=1}^k C_i \frac{X_i-\bar{X_i}}{\theta^i}</math></big>
 
*<math>Y</math> = sound sensation
*<math>X_i</math>  = <math>i</math>th objective measurement
*<math>\bar{X_i}</math> = mean value of the <math>i</math>th objective measurement or its logarithm
*<math>\theta^i</math> = standard deviation of the <math>i</math>th objective measurement or its logarithm
*<math>C_0</math> = the constant
*<math>C_i</math> = the coefficient
 
===Conclusive Results===
 
The conclusion of the study illustrates that thicker fabrics, such as Melton, showed higher ∆f than thinner ones. Thinner fabrics, such as tropical wool, which are resistant to shearing showed the lowest values for loudness and the highest for ∆L. Most wool is perceived as loud but tropical wool, however, is perceived as clear and pleasant.
 
==Similar Methods==
 
There have been similar lines of research to this method. One attempt studied in particular how the specific sound of fabric being rustled can be unpleasant. This method of evaluation was measured through Multidimensional Scaling analysis, or MSA.<ref>Sukigara, S., & Ishibashi, T. (2001). Subjective Evaluation of the Rustling Sound of Fabrics. Senʼi Gakkai shi, 57, 264-269.</ref> Multiple linear regression was also adapted here, which shows that it is a method commonly applied in this field. This method was only applied to one emotion, unpleasantness, whereas the study from Yi, Gilsoo, Youngjoo and Casali in 2002 was able to determine the participant’s response from a choice of seven different emotions.
 
A similar study<ref>Cho, G., Casali, J. G., & Yi, E. (2001). Effect of fabric sound and touch on human subjective sensation. Fibers and Polymers, 2, 196-202.</ref> measured the same seven emotions and identical sound parameters but adopted a [[Semantic differential|Semantic Differential Scale]] (SDS) for the participants. Although the ranking system differed slightly for the subjects, the results of the two procedures were quite similar.

Resting is a favorite activity for many people. After a long day of work or looking after a family, sometimes it's nice to crawl into a comfortable bed and sleep for a few hours. What many people do not realize is that the pillow they snuggle up with could contain countless germs, bugs and fungi.

The least expensive filling product is polyester and generally these body pillows are in the $25 to $50 range. When loadeded with polyester often times the body pillow is made use of more for decoration or casual use. An upgraded filling is a blend of down and feathers-- usually a gray duck 5/95. The natural filled body pillow is a good choice as the down and feathers offer more give and take and hence can mold to your preferred shape. Finally you have the ultimate in luxury and convenience with an all down filled body pillow Soft, smooth and moldable soft to the touch these designs are preferred for typical use.

The fluff factor. A fluffier a pillow provides much better cushioning and is longer long lasting. A fluffy pillow likewise implies that fresh air is still able to travel with it. Contrastingly, a lifeless one that's deflated and flat signifies that the pillow can no more trap air, rendering it not ideal for offering comfortable support. To test fluffiness, fold a pillow in half and see if it unfolds on its own or offer it a huge hug and see if it fluffs back up. If not, you may need to look for a brand-new pillow.

Latex pillows are fantastic pillows for back and side sleepers. Natural latex is poured into a pillow shaped mold with perforations; and what arises is a spongy pillow Latex pillows supply firm support for your neck, yet are soft sufficient to relieve pressure on your head.

You could want to think about a travel neck pillow if you are one of those people who are putting a lot of miles on a regular flier program. A travel neck pillow is commonly U shaped in design. It can utilized while you are sitting waiting for your plane, or sitting on the aircraft. A great travel neck pillow will certainly enable you to sleep upright without straining your neck to the side or returning wards. When selecting a travel neck pillow think about a pillow that is going to correctly support your neck- maybe made from foam or fiber.

Decide which type of support you require. You will require an accommodating pillow which conforms to your body if you are looking for your pillow to help ease pain or discomfort. Restorative and upkeep pillows help deal with the reason for your issue by supporting the natural curve of your neck as you receive restorative care from a chiropractic practitioner, physical therapy or osteopath. While a few exceptions exist that serve the requirements of all 3 classifications (Accommodate, Correction and Maintenance), most of pillows will certainly fall in just one or potentially 2 of these classifications.

at the bottom you will certainly want a little even more space left (like 6 or 7 inches if entirely fine.) once the pillow has the pillow form in it it will certainly look better if there isn't a ruffle there.
