Characterization of sound quality of impulsive sounds using loudness based metric

摘要: A study on the characterization of sound quality transient sounds via fundamental psychoacoustic measures is described in this paper. Specifically, overall subjective perception annoyance for was studied. Through magnitude estimation and paired comparison jury evaluation experiments, magnitudes 15 were determined. For each sound, several objective calculated, using simple linear regression models, relationships between these investigated. Examined included loudness, sharpness, roughness, fluctuation strength, tonality, a new loudness-based measure impulsiveness. The impulsiveness based summation impulse-induced peaks loudness time history (calculated according to DIN 45631/A1). models analyzed statistical model significance fit. It found that studied, significant existed following measures: These four then combined into single predicting multiple analysis. highly correlated sounds.
