This paper establishes a procedure for the evaluation of human hearing perception in indoor spaces by jurytesting. An artificial head system was used to record indoor noise and to determine physical acoustic and psychoacousticparameters within living and working environments. This test involved a jury consisting of 102 people of different ages,genders and occupations. The subjects participated in the sound quality evaluation and from this; indicators of humanperception to sound were obtained.Three types of residential spaces in which to carry out the jury test were selected, including a high-rise apartment, ageneral residential apartment and a small apartment suite. A workspace in the form of a medium-sized meeting room wasalso tested. The paired comparison method and the category judgment method were both utilized in the jury testquestionnaire. The paired comparison method was used to evaluate the psychoacoustic perception of loudness andsharpness, while the category judgment method applied a seven-point scale. Psychoacoustic parameters were used toanalyze human hearing responses; from these, perceived sound quality was established for each subject. Through thistesting procedure, a reasonable sound quality evaluation method was established.
