Auditory Stream Disruption in Human Computer Interaction

This paper presents results of the first phase of a study evaluating disruptive auditory features during a visual memory task in a HCI context. The disruption of primary tasks by secondary information streams is an important consideration in the design of multimodal interfaces. Although no statistical difference was exhibited in terms of task performance between the various auditory streams, a TLX questionnaire suggests that auditory streams comprising complex rhythmic features are perceived by users as being notably disruptive.
