Abstract

Monaural sone functions are obtained for a no-noise condition and under five levels of masking noise using the method of fractionation. This method precludes the use of both ears in obtaining such functions as has been the case with dichotic loudness balance and other related procedures. The curves obtained are found to parallel previously found masked functions in one case, and in another to show a more rapid acceleration at low levels, but identical slopes above 1 sone. When the power function exponent of a 1000-Hz tone is plotted against over-all SPL of a masking noise, a “power transformation,” which parallels that found for speech in noise, is obtained. Although no numerical calculations are presented, it appears that above 60 dB of noise the exponent grows as approximately the 0.16 power of the noise.

  • Experimental work in the auditory domain has demonstrated that perceived intensity can be attenuated by increasing sensory noise (decreasing precision).

    “Experimental work in the auditory domain has demonstrated that perceived intensity can be attenuated by increasing sensory noise (decreasing precision) (Lochner and Burger, 1961; Richards, 1968).”

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.
