An analysis of variance of magnitude estimates of loudness of three different types of complex auditory stimuli, instrumental music, instrumental music with vocal accompaniment, and spoken lyrics showed, for 100 young adults, no differences for the types of stimuli. The linguistic aspects of these complex auditory stimuli do not differentially influence loudness judgments.
