Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Research demonstrates that the uncanny valley phenomenon extends beyond visual stimuli to include aural and auditory elements, where synthetic or imperfectly human voices and audio cues similarly evoke feelings of eeriness.

The analysis

Multiple empirical and review papers directly investigate or establish the existence of an audio uncanny valley and demonstrate that aural stimuli (such as synthetic voices or audio mismatches) elicit eerie responses analogous to the classic visual uncanny valley. Therefore, the claim is well-supported.

Paper [0] demonstrates that a mismatch in human realism between a character's face and voice causes eerie evaluations, supporting an aural dimension to the uncanny valley.
