Systems and methods for item characteristic simulation

A virtual reality system for simulating sound characteristics of items included within a simulation, the virtual reality system comprising:

• an onboard computing system having one or more non-transitory memory storage areas and one or more processors, the onboard computing system configured to:
• compile data regarding aesthetic and sound characteristics of one or more items included within a simulation;
• virtually build a simulated environment including the one or more items by:
• rendering, via a display device in electronic communication with the onboard computing system, visual aspects of the one or more items within the simulated environment;
• retrieving one or more selected item-agnostic audio files from a plurality of item-agnostic audio files, based at least in part on matching sound characteristic data associated with the one or more selected item-agnostic audio files with sound characteristics of the one or more items based on item data stored in the one or more memory storage areas;
• and
• output, via the display device and one or more audio output devices, the simulated environment, wherein the one or more selected item-agnostic audio files are executed to output a calibrated sound representative of the sound characteristics of the one or more items included in the simulated environment.
