# Towards a rich view of auditory experience **Keywords:** Auditory experience  Rich view of perceptual content  Sound  Adaptational effects  Method of contrast **Abstract:** In this paper I will argue that the gender properties expressed by human voices are part of auditory phenomenology. I will support this claim by investigating auditory adaptational effects on such properties and contrasting auditory experiences, before and after the adaptational effects take place. In light of this investigation, I will conclude that auditory experience is not limited to low-level properties. Perception appears to be much more informative about the auditory landscape than is commonly thought. **Authors:** [[Di Bona]]
