This paper investigates the correlation between sound and touch in terms of spectral characteristics, focusing on the audio-to-tactile conversion of short sounds used in various applications. Each sound is matched with a single-frequency vibration, leaving vibration frequency as the sole variable. This study evaluates the congruence of 175 pairs (25 sounds and 7 vibrations) to establish a relationship between the sound's loudness spectrum and the optimal vibration frequency. The proposed sound-to-touch pitch mapping function, a novel approach to understanding spectral matching between sound and touch, is validated through cross-validation. #haptics #haptics2024 #crossmodal #ptich #sound
