Psychoacoustics traces its roots to eighteenth-century philosophers.
Evidence
Knowledge of the association between sound and its perception has been around for many centuries. However, the primary roots of psychoacoustics date back to the early 1700s, when the philosophers of the time began to lay the foundation for the field of experimental psychology, which studied human behavior. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 49
