DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\n\n	Over the course of discoveries\, technological an
 d industrial progress\, the loudspeaker has become a part of our daily liv
 es and then\, by becoming miniaturized\, has taken a prominent place. The 
 digital convergence represented by dematerialization and nomadism has fina
 lly allowed the generalization of listening with headphones or earpieces. 
 At each stage\, the perception of what we believed to be a certain reality
  of the sound world transformed our relationship to the sound. But\, with 
 these new diffusion and restitution tools\, what do we listen to? In an in
 creasingly noisy sound world\, how does our listening and our hearing evol
 ve in response to sound sources that are increasingly compressed in dynami
 cs?\n\n	Based on an experimental study carried out in 2021/2022 by Professo
 r Paul Avan\, at the initiative of the 'La Semaine du Son' association\, t
 he 'sound quality' label project was launched in January 2023 with the sup
 port of the 'Ecoutez Voir' foundation\, in partnership with the Pasteur In
 stitute and the Hearing Institute\, Ircam Amplify and Universal Music. Thi
 s label will be officially presented to UNESCO in January 2025\; it concer
 ns the recording industry\, but also all audiovisual reproduction media\, 
 from radio and TV to streaming platforms.\n\n	Biography\n\n	Expert Engineer 
 at the Court of cassation in Paris\, Christian Hugonnet runs a consultancy
  practice in acoustics for concert hall and recording studios. In 2004\, h
 e launched the first edition of 'The Week of Sound'\, now an annual intern
 ational event supported by UNESCO as 'UNESCO’s Week of Sound' that aims to
  educate the public and elected officials on the societal and economic imp
 ortance of sound in five main sectors: auditory health\, acoustics and sou
 nd environment\, recording and reproduction\, image and sound\, musical ex
 pression.\n\n	For more information visit cirmmt.org\n\n
