Abstract	This study investigated the perceptual confusion of five non-front vowels /a ʌ o u ɨ/ in Seoul Korean to examine on-going sound changes of /o/-raising. We conducted 5AFC experiments with 25 young adults speaking Seoul Korean in their 20s and 15 older adults above 60s. Auditory stimuli were CV syllables excised from ten young adult female speakers' natural word productions and were presented to the listeners with and without a babbling-noise (+10 SNR). The results revealed generation differences in the accuracy of /u/ identifications where old listeners misheard /u/ for /o/ or /ɨ/ more often than young listeners. In the presence of noise, perceptual confusion existed across the five vowels in a chainlike manner by mishearing the vowels for the next higher or adjacent fronter ones. Regression models predicting accuracies based on stimulus acoustics support that the sound change is not confined to /o/raising but extended to shifts of /u/ and /ɨ/.
