the association of meaning – should be introduced (e.g. Blauert and Jekosch, 1997; Jekosch, 2004). In this chapter, the term product sound experience will be used, because it is a more general concept (related to the emotional, semantic, and sensorial experience), and because the term ...
The equal loudness contours (see chapter 1) increase the complexity of the meaning of the disparity. It follows that matching amplifier gains is fruitless (e.g. for A-B testing) until the frequency responses are matched to a greater accuracy, ideally at least three times better (in ...
Findings In this case series that included 31 patients with tinnitus and compared the 2 approaches repeated at a 1-month interval, concordance between test and retest was much lower for 2-alternative forced-choice than for tinnitus likeness rating. Meaning Superior test-retest concordance afforded by...
(1) The concepts "loudness", "noisiness" and "annoyance" have rather different implications; various factors, such as the temporal pattern of the stimulus, frequency components, duration and subjective meaning, contribute to the differences. (2) Differences in the subjective meaning of sounds may...
An error has been found in Ref. [1] resulting from confusing low- and high-frequencies. The 3rd and 4th paragraphs on page 61 should read as follows: "If now, attempting to explain the meaning of the root k, one supposes that we also have a root value of (3.3/2), then we get ...
