The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the physical and the psychological quantity of soundscape preference in the bamboo park. Through semantic difference method, the preference of different soundscape elements in the bamboo park was evaluated, and the physical index in the observation sites was measured at the same time. Finally, after the subjective and objective data fitted by the law of psychophysics, a model for evaluating the soundscape preference in the bamboo park was established. The results show that the trend of subjective and objective data fitting for each soundscape element conforms to the law of psychophysics. Among them, geophony and biophony tend to Fechner’s Law and anthorphony to Stevens’ Power Law.
