Synaesthesia is the mixing of the senses. Those affected by it hear colors, see sounds, and taste tactile sensations. When the two senses involved are sound and color, this phenomenon is no longer limited to synaesthetes: anyone, given a sound and time for contemplation, can ascribe color to that sound. Oftentimes, these choices will overlap from person to person.

This is an informal experiment to test that hypothesis. Select from one of the sound categories below. Then, after listening several times to the sound presented, choose the color to which you are most strongly drawn. Give us your thoughts. Then, you can see how others voted, for that particular sound. Repeat the process.
