Can we assign attitudes to an artifact based on its expressed beep sounds as audio subtle expressions? If so, which kinds of beep sounds are perceived as specific attitudes, such as "disagreement" as a negative attitude, "hesitation" as neutral or "agreement" as positive? To examine this issue, I carried out an experiment to observe and clarify how participants assign an attitude to an artifact according to beeps of different durations and F0 values. The results revealed that 1) sounds with rising tones regardless of duration were perceived by participants as "disagreement," and 2) flat sounds with longer duration were interpreted as "hesitation", and 3) falling tones with shorter duration were taken as "agreement".
