Abstract

It was established that the loudness of a 1000-cps pure tone in the presence of random noise is given by ψ = k(In − I0n), where I is the pure tone intensity and I0 the threshold intensity of the pure tone in the presence of masking noise. The exponent n is approximately 0.27, and the value of k depends on the choice of units. This relation also holds when the only masking noise present is the physiological noise generated in the ears, and it thus describes the conventional loudness function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
