Abstract

This project shares the output of how the positive impact on form design is discovered through the noisy product userâ€™s response. The method began by using the images combination between the vacuum cleaner and vacum cleaner noise, where the data was collected from vacuum cleaner users in Shah Alam residential area. The findings revealed that a vacuum cleaner with an attractive form design can lessen the user's unfavorable reaction to its noise. However, the user must be familiar with the product since they have used it previously.
