To make his experiment fair, he developed an easily accessible website and randomised the order in which the sounds were played to counteract sound fatigue - which makes the early noises sound worse than later ones.Trevor's experiment got him news headlines around the world and also demonstrated a new way of conducting acoustic research over the internet. So what is the worst sound in the world? Watch the programme to find out!
