| Designed Vocalizations Dataset — Third-Party Attribution & Notices |
| ================================================================== |
|
|
| The Designed Vocalizations Dataset is made available under CC BY 4.0 for the dataset |
| compilation and the authors' original contributions, including metadata and original |
| annotations. Designed audio clips may incorporate or be adaptations of third-party source |
| sounds and therefore remain subject to the applicable source licenses identified per clip. |
|
|
| The third-party sources' licenses and required attributions are listed below and, per clip, as |
| columns in the source recordings (the `raw` config): `license`, |
| `attribution_required`, `freesound_title`, `freesound_uploader`, `freesound_url`. Redistribution |
| of this dataset must preserve this NOTICE file and the per-clip attribution metadata, and must |
| comply with the license terms applicable to each source clip. |

| The designed audio in this dataset is produced by applying effects processing to these |
| sources. The effect-modified clips are adaptations or derivative works of the corresponding |
| source sounds, where applicable, and remain subject to the attribution and other conditions |
| of the source license recorded for each clip. |

| 3. Processing tool |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| The designed clips were produced using the Dehumaniser plugin (Krotos Audio) within a Cubase |
| effect chain. Dehumaniser is a third-party commercial product; it was used only to generate |
| processed audio outputs — no Dehumaniser software, code, plug-in assets, or proprietary preset |
| parameter settings are redistributed with this dataset. Preset names have been anonymized |
| (`preset_01`–`preset_47`) in the released dataset. |
|
|
| For built-in Dehumaniser presets, the dataset lists only the generic effect types used (in |
| `preset_info.dsp_modules`) — not their internal parameter settings. Full effect chains and |
