Abstract:Tests were performed in an anechoic chamber using 20 college students to determine the judged noisiness of stimuli varying both temporally and spectrally. The investigations were divided into three test series. The first test series used 30 stimuli with six different time patterns and five different spectra. The second test used stimuli selected from the first test but modified to include signal durations ranging from 1 to 100 sec. Duration in this case is the amount of time the stimuli were within 10 dB of th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
