The interest in using listening tests as both an objective and a subjective measuring tool is increasing. There are no generally accepted guidelines for making listening tests so the results are seldom comparable, and there is a risk that "newcomers" in this field make fundamental methodological errors. Part 2 of this NORDTEST guideline is meant as a help to make effective andreliable listening tests. For some topics the guideline gives specific recommendations, for other topics the text has the charact er of a list of items to remember or to consider. As new concepts within acoustics are introduced, the sectionwith definitions and terms is rather comprehensive
