This chapter explores the auditory perception of sound Shitsukan, which differs from the basic contents of sound and includes more abstract, often difficult-to-verbalize qualities, such as material properties, spatial characteristics, and environmental factors including reverberation and ambient noise. I begin by examining how the physical properties of sound sources shape perceived Shitsukan, focusing on studies related to material perception of impact sounds. I then explore various other aspects of Shitsukan, such as the effects of reverberation on material and emotion perception, the perception of silent objects and sound textures, and the experience of a sound source moving closely around the listener’s head. These discussions illustrate how sound interacts with physical environments, including the listener’s body, to create a perceptual experience. The chapter concludes by considering the potential to quantify more elusive Shitsukan experiences, such as particular emotions evoked by voices and the unique auditory qualities of traditional songs, suggesting that Shitsukan may be key to understanding both modern and traditional cultural expressions of sound.
