Abstract :
Subjective assessment of sound quality is an important issue in acoustics, telecommunications and multimedia. An attempt to assess sound quality based on the soft set approach was made. For that purpose techniques derived from rough and fuzzy set theories have been implemented. A short discussion of standard testing methods in acoustic sound quality evaluation was included Some exemplary data derived from subjective testing were presented and then processed using non-statistical (soft computing) methods. Conclusions resulting from the comparison of investigated approaches to the processing of subjective testing results were included
