Sound quality is judged as deviations from ideal amounts of perceptual dimensions

Evidence

In some special cases, full authenticity is sought in reproduction of sound. In communication acoustics, authenticity is determined with human perception as the reference; for authentic reproduction, the auditory perception of a sound scenario in the reproduced conditions should be identical to those in the original conditions, as illustrated in Figure 14.1. Some example cases where authentic reproduction is essential are the reproduction of natural sound scenarios for hearing aid testing and audiology, different training tasks, telepresence applications, and the evaluation of room acoustic parameters of different venues. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 1793 (#expands, via linked claim)
