▼ The present study investigated the combination tone 2fl-f2 in normal hearing subjects and subjects with high frequency noise-induced hearing loss by measuring the forward masking effect of 2fl-f2 exerted at its own frequency. Forward masking was plotted as the increase in masked threshold of a brief probe tone located at frequency 2fl-f2 as a function of the intensity of the primary tones, fl and f2. The masking effect of the lower primary alone, fl, was also measured to determine the possible contribution of fl toward the total masking obtained with the fl+f2 stimulus. Results of this investigation showed that 1) a forward-masking effect attributable to 2fl-f2 was seen for each normal-hearing subject, usually beginning at an fl+f2 intensity between 40 and 60 dB SPL. Average slopes of the growth of this masking were 0.8 between 60 and 70 dB SPL and 1.1 between 70 and 80 dB SPL. 2) there was little or no masking effect due to fl+f2 for hearing-loss subjects at intensities between 60 and 70 dB SPL, most likely explained by the fact that the quiet thresholds at the fl, f2, and probe tone frequencies were elevated for these subjects. This finding agreed with published studies by showing that the forward masking effect was strongly and inversely correlated with the quiet thresholds at the fl, f2, and probe tone frequencies (significant to p=.0l). 3) at an fl+f2 intensity of 80 dB SPL, several hearing-loss subjects displayed a masking effect attributable to 2fl-f2. It is not clear why this occurred for some of these subjects, because even at 80 dB SPL, the sensation level of the fl+f2 stimulus was only slightly supra-threshold. 4) for some normal-hearing and hearing-loss subjects a significant masking effect due to fl alone was noted. This finding made it difficult to assess the contribution of 2fl-f2 toward the total masking displayed with the fl+f2 stimulus for these subjects. 5) results with the fl and fl+f2 stimulus were highly variable for both subject groups. 6) the unresolved role of suppression in distortion product generation as well as a limited understanding of noise-induced hearing loss make it difficult to apply the present results toward one particular model of combination tone production.

▼ It is generally recognized that simple harmonic ratios among partials promote their perceptual fusion. However, the influence of parallel gliding in log frequency upon fusion is not understood. The present experiment investigated fusion in relation to different types of parallel and non-parallel log-frequency motion of three concurrent tonal glides. The main hypothesis was that parallel motion on log-frequency-by-time coordinates favors fusion. It was reasoned that a higher degree of fusion of the glides evokes fewer auditory images. Fusion was thus measured by asking eighteen subjects to rate the number of distinct sounds perceived in various gliding stimuli. On test trials, subjects received a pair of stimuli in succession and had to judge which one contained more sounds and to rate the size of the difference on a 7-point scale. Each stimulus was a complex of three sinusoidal tones, gliding in frequency. Each 1400-ms three-glide complex was either increasing or decreasing in frequency, and the spacing among its components was either small, medium or large. The stimuli were aligned in one of five ways: (1) harmonically related, parallel, and therefore unequally spaced in log frequency, (2) inharmonic, parallel, and equally spaced in log frequency, (3) inharmonic, parallel, and unequally spaced in log frequency, (4) non-parallel and diverging in log frequency, and (5) non-parallel and converging in log frequency. Results showed that more sources were perceived under the three parallel conditions than under the two non-parallel ones (p < 0.00001). Moreover, as the spacing between gliding partials increased, more distinct sounds were heard (p < 0.00001). These results suggest that both spectral spacing and non-parallel log-frequency motion segregate concurrent glides. A multiple regression analysis showed that parallel log-frequency gliding promotes fusion over and above the contribution of average spectral spacing and harmonicity (p <.0001).

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The automotive industry is currently exploring the global sound sphere to identify a pleasant, safe and unique electric vehicle signature sound. Drive-train acoustics contribute to the performance benchmark of vehicles in the marketplace. Electric vehicle sound signatures differ vastly from those of internal combustion engines. Questions arise as to how these signature sounds relate to consumer experiences, and how the positive attributes of these sounds can be extracted and enhanced. The presented work aimed to investigate the objectively and subjectively evaluated attributes of electric vehicle signature sound, and the associated consumer satisfaction. A subjective evaluation procedure for the classification of the noise produced by electric vehicles was adapted from existing methodologies for internal combustions engines. Itwas found that ‘Calm’, ‘Deep’, ‘Rumbling’,‘Creative’ and ‘Futuristic’ semantics should be added to existing tests to typically describe electric vehicle sound character. The sound signatures of six standard production electric vehicles and one hybrid electric vehicle were benchmarked through constant speed andWide Open Throttle drives. Time and frequency domain analyses were used to compare the different vehicles, and results revealed that electric vehicles contain substantial sound energy in the upper frequency bands due to the tonal components. Lower sound pressure levels were achieved in a multi-stage gearbox, with regards to the high frequency content associated with electric motors. High Prominence Ratio levels, in excess of 10 dB,were found for electric vehicles and current literature points to diminished consumer satisfaction as a result. Furthermore, standard production electric vehicle sound signatures were evaluated against enhanced sound stimuli, based on subjective semantics and objective metrics, to determine the dimensions of electric vehicle sound quality that can lead to improved consumer satisfaction. The methodologywas to undertake two independent subjective evaluations, performed by a jury of 32 and 52 members respectively, to determine the perceived electric vehicle sound experience. Results showed that Sharpness is fundamental to governing the electric vehicle sound experience. Secondly, the underlying dimensions of electric vehicle sound quality are sparsely described in literature and was therefore investigated. A factor analysis found that additional to the dimensions of refinement and powerfulness of internal combustion vehicle sound, electric vehicles also have a third dimension associated with a ‘Futuristic’ factor. Lastly, a consumer satisfaction model was proposed through multiple linear regression and the 95th percentile Sharpness value. The model yielded promising results for both interior and motorbay sound signatures and is proposed as a means of gauging consumer satisfaction for electric vehicle sound quality. The complexity of electric vehicle sound character was discussed and recommendations were offered with respect to the… Advisors/Committee Members: Bekker, A., Stellenbosch University.

This dissertation attempts to motivate, derive and imply potential uses for a generalized perceptual theory of musical harmony called psychoacoustic entropy theory. This theory treats the human auditory system as a physical system which takes acoustic measurements. As a result, the human auditory system is subject to all the appropriate uncertainties and limitations of other physical measurement systems. This is the theoretic basis for defining psychoacoustic entropy. Psychoacoustic entropy is a numerical quantity which indexes the degree to which the human auditory system perceives instantaneous disorder within a sound pressure wave. Chapter one explains the importance of harmonic analysis as a tool for performance practice. It also outlines the critical limitations for many of the most influential historical approaches to modeling harmonic stability, particularly when compared to available scientific research in psychoacoustics. Rather than analyze a musical excerpt, psychoacoustic entropy is calculated directly from sound pressure waves themselves. This frames psychoacoustic entropy theory in the most general possible terms as a theory of musical harmony, enabling it to be invoked for any perceivable sound. Chapter two provides and examines many widely accepted mathematical models of the acoustics and psychoacoustics of these sound pressure waves. Chapter three introduces entropy as a precise way of measuring perceived uncertainty in sound pressure waves. Entropy is used, in combination with the acoustic and psychoacoustic models introduced in chapter two, to motivate the mathematical formulation of psychoacoustic entropy theory. Chapter four shows how to use psychoacoustic entropy theory to analyze the certain types of musical harmonies, while chapter five applies the analytical tools developed in chapter four to two short musical excerpts to influence their interpretation. Almost every form of harmonic analysis invokes some degree of mathematical reasoning. However, the limited scope of most harmonic systems used for Western common practice music greatly simplifies the necessary level of mathematical detail. Psychoacoustic entropy theory requires a greater deal of mathematical complexity due to its sheer scope as a generalized theory of musical harmony. Fortunately, under specific assumptions the theory can take on vastly simpler forms. Psychoacoustic entropy theory appears to be highly compatible with the latest scientific research in psychoacoustics. However, the theory itself should be regarded as a hypothesis and this dissertation an experiment in progress. The evaluation of psychoacoustic entropy theory as a scientific theory of human sonic perception must wait for more rigorous future research.

▼ Any phonological theory needs to encompass an account of acquisition and any account of acquisition must take its place within a general theory of phonology. This thesis aims to ascribe phonological significance to speech perception in infancy, a move impossible unless phonology is defined, as it is here, from both a psycholinguistic and a formal viewpoint as a dedicated pattern-recognition system. Extant results from infant studies are reviewed and aligned with current phonological theory. In particular, such theory characterises phonology as bi-modular, so the acquisition of individual melodic and prosodic modules and their subsequent orientation with respect to one another must constitute three different developmental tasks. This delivers a relatively simple account of the mapping between psychoacoustics and phonology. Perception and pre-existing theories of segmental complexity are related using an original experiment into the perception of vowel-height contrast in Catalan. If infant perception has phonological import, then disparate phonetic reflexes which are predicted as phonologically identical should show parallels in acquisition. General theory argues that the same abstract melodic objects underlie both laryngeal contrasts in stops and lexical tonal contrasts. Earlier studies show that language-specific attunement to stop contrasts has taken place by the age of six months. New tests are now reported, using children of the same age, which demonstrate that infants acquiring Yorùbá, a language which has a three-way contrast for tone, attend more closely to pitch changes within the minimal domain word than do English controls. Further, they only attend to those pitch changes that possess phonological import within that domain in the steady-state language. In this their perception exactly parallels that displayed by adult speakers. Apparent anomalies in the results of these tests are shown to be closely parallelled by phonological asymmetries in the tonology of Yorùbá.

▼ Spectral and temporal processing have an extensive history of research for the discrimination and integration of tones. The integration of both dimensions simultaneously, however, has received little attention in psychoacoustics. This dual integration is vital to our daily processing of sounds around us, and has also not been effectively addressed in the ecological acoustics research. For this reason, we still have essentially no understanding of how the auditory system processes sounds that are changing in both frequency and time domains at the same time. This study was designed to begin the process of measuring the basic detection of signals that vary in both spectral and temporal dimensions. Baseline measures of detection for 10 msec pure tones were taken and the levels adjusted so that all the frequencies could be detected at the same level of attenuation. The thresholds were then obtained for spectral integration of the signals and for temporal integration, so that these results could be compared with prior research. The signals were then varied on both dimensions simultaneously in several ways: with equal spectral and temporal step sizes, different spectral and temporal step sizes, random presentation, and with doubled spectral or temporal information. The data were also analyzed along several differences: spectral step size, temporal step size, frequency range, direction, slope, and predictability. The spectral and temporal integration conditions showed a good match with the results of prior research, showing that the current procedures and signals could be used to reliably compare to existing results. The spectrotemporal integration conditions showed the threshold for overall detection of the signals to be limited by the ability to integrate spectral information, while the temporal integration was much better. Additionally, very little influence could be seen by most of the differences in signals. Surprisingly, random presentation of frequencies did not negatively influence detection; rather, results indicated that differences in step size between the dimensions were a greater factor in the measured thresholds.

Spatial hearing is a crucial aspect of the way we perceive our environment. It helps us to orientate ourselves within an acoustic scene, follow a conversation in a noisy background, avoid potential dangers or simply enjoy the aesthetics of sound, e.g. in music. Hearing impaired listeners often report diffculties with spatial hearing, and current hearing devices frequently do not improve those deficits but rather disturb the cues that the auditory system uses to extract spatial information from the sound reaching our ears. To adequately predict the effect of digital hearing devices on the spatial perception of sound, tests are needed that reliably reproduce acoustic environments that listeners encounter in their daily life. This thesis investigated some of the challenges that are met when spatial hearing is assessed in laboratory-based environments which aim to recreate such realistic scenarios.

The first three studies investigated the factors affecting audibility in a reverberant multitalker background. First, masked thresholds for the detection of a short speech stimulus were measured in normal hearing (NH) and hearing impaired (HI) listeners. Then, the effect of uncertainty about the location of the target sound source on those thresholds was examined. The results showed that audibility in the analyzed environment depended heavily on the location of the target source. Moreover, masked thresholds were generally higher in the HI group and varied less over target location than in the NH group. An analysis with an auditory detection model applied to predict the measured data suggested that this behavior is linked to the dominance of high frequency components of the target signal and their interaction with the head shadow, reverberation and hearing loss.The effect of spatial uncertainty on audibility was found to be negligible. In the fourth study, a new method to assess spatial hearing in complex environments was presented. Instead of single-source localization, the task in this study was the identification and localization of multiple concurrent talkers in a simulated reverberant environment. The results suggested that the applied method provided a…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: New international broadcasting legislation and the implementation thereof by online platforms such as YouTube and online music retailers such as iTunes, are bringing an end to the over-compressed music that has become the norm over recent years. Whilst these new loudness standards are advancing recording quality by allowing for a wider dynamic range, it may also have unintended consequences with regard to audio levels that listeners are exposed to in certain listening environments. The hypothesis of this study was that recordings with a wide dynamic range might be listened to at damaging levels to compensate for the low end of the dynamic spectrum being masked by environmental noise. For example, when listening to music inside a moving passenger car. Experiments were performed to measure the level preferences of drivers in a passenger vehicle to ascertain whether music with a wider dynamic range is listened to at higher levels, compensating for the masked e ect at the lower end of the dynamic spectrum. If individuals are listening to dynamic music at a higher average level than compressed music, they are potentially at risk of hearing damage at the high end of the dynamic spectrum. The results re ect that listeners do not listen to more dynamic music at higher levels than compressed music and it was concluded that the new broadcast loudness standards can also be implemented on material intended for playback in less than optimum listening environments.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Nuwe internasionalewetgewing in televisie- en radio-uitsending en die implementering daarvan deur aanlyn platforms soos YouTube en aanlyn musiekhandelaars soos iTunes is besig om ’n einde te bring aan die dinamies-saamgepersde musiek wat die norm geword het oor die laaste dekade. Alhoewel hierdie nuwe luidheidstandaarde opname-kwaliteit bevoordeel deur ’n groter dinamiese reik toe te laat, mag dit ook onvoorsiene implikasies hê ten opsigte van die klankdrukvlakke waaraan luisteraars blootgestel word in sekere luisteromgewings. Die hipotese van hierdie studie was dat opnames met ’n wye dinamiese spektrum geluister mag word teen ’n hoë volume om te vergoed vir die onderste deel van die dinamiese spektrum wat gemasker word deur omgewingsgeraas soos as daar na musiek geluister word in ’n bewegende voertuig. Eksperimente is gedoen om die klankvlakvoorkeure van luisteraars in passasiersmotors te meet om te bepaal of musiek met ’n groter dinamiese reik teen hoër klankvlakke beluister word. As daar na meer dinamiese musiek geluister word teen hoër vlakke as saamgepersde musiek bestaan die gevaar dat gehoorskade veroorsaak kan word deur die boonste deel van die dinamiese spektrum. Daar is bevind dat luisteraars verkies om nie na meer dinamiese musiek teen hoër klankvlakke luister nie. Die gevolgtrekking is dat die nuwe uitsendingluidheidstandaarde ook aangewend kan word in die produksie van materiaal wat gemik is op nie-optimale terugluisteromgewings.

▼ This dissertation investigates the cortical representation of speech perception, using a combination of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and psychoacoustical experiments.Previous research has shown that low-level acoustical structure, phonemes, and words are processed by distinct cortical areas. However, little is known about the relationship between these different representations. To address this problem we simultaneously mapped many different representations of speech. We recorded fMRI responses from subjects listening to over two hours of natural speech. We then examined three features spaces representing the speech sounds in terms of auditory, articulatory and semantic features. We used voxel-wise modeling for each feature space combined with a novel variance-partitioning method to assess how much response variance could be explained uniquely by each model or jointly between two or three models. Validating our approach, we found that a quarter of the brain was significantly responsive to the stories, and that our models could account for up to 45% of the explainable variance in cortex and over 60% of the explainable variance in auditory areas. We also found a hierarchical set of processing steps starting in primary auditory areas and moving along the posteroventral region of the temporal lobe that are involved in the sound to word meaning transformation. The second part of this dissertation is a psychoacoustical investigation of the modulation power spectrum (MPS) of speech. The MPS is obtained by taking the 2-dimensional Fourier transform of the speech spectrogram. We showed that comprehension of vowels and consonants is differently affected by removal of specific spectral or temporal modulations. Supplementary consonant analysis showed differences in MPS and psychoacoustical comprehension results between three groups of consonants, separated based on the manner in which they are pronounced (fricatives, stops, and sonorants). The MPS could serve as an excellent intermediate step between lower and higher levels of speech processing, and could in future studies add nuance to our previous three cortical models of speech perception.

▼ Community noise impact is an important factor in design of current generation aircraft, especially when considering projected trends in flight volume and urbanization. Simulation is a useful tool to evaluate the human annoyance response due to both current and proposed aircraft, and it has some advantages over field studies or playback of recordings. However, current simulation methods which are based on time-averaged prediction methods do not include short term fluctuations observed in recordings of real aircraft engines. Those fluctuations in both tonal and broadband sources provide psychoacoustic clues to listeners when evaluating flyover noise realism. When those short-term fluctuations are not included, simulation realism may suffer and evaluation results might not be applicable to real aircraft. This thesis presents work to analyze and model fluctuations in aircraft engine fan noise, using an existing set of static turbofan engine recordings. The inclusion of the observed fluctuations, which are unaccounted for in many current prediction and simulation routines, was expected to increase the perceived realism of simulated flyover events. The analysis of tonal fluctuations was performed by utilizing the complex-valued analytic signal to extract instantaneous amplitude and frequency. A simple parametric model was developed to represent each measured fluctuation using its spectral bandwidth and variance. The model was then used to generate new fluctuations which were perceptually similar to the original. Tonal synthesis was performed as the sum of many amplitude- and frequency-modulated tones. Analysis was also performed on the broadband fan noise component, which used output from the Short-Time Fourier Transform was used to characterize fluctuations in third-octave band SPL. Those fluctuations were not modeled as in the case of tonal fluctuations and were directly reproduced using an overlap-add synthesis tool. A subjective listening test was then conducted to evaluate the perceptual similarity between synthesized and recorded fan noise. That test concluded that synthesized tonal noise which included short-term fluctuations was perceived as more realistic than noise without. It also concluded that the addition of broadband fan noise components tended to mask tonal fluctuations. Advisors/Committee Members: Burdisso, Ricardo A. (committeechair), Rizzi, Stephen A.

▼ Blind people use echoes to detect objects and to find their way, the ability being known as human echolocation. Previous research have found some of the favorable conditions for the detection of the object, with many factors yet to be analyzed and quantified. Studies have also shown that blind people are more efficient than the sighted in echolocating, with the performance varying among the individuals. This motivated the research in human echolocation to move in a new direction to get a fuller understanding for the high detection of the blind. The psychoacoustic experiments solely cannot determine how the superior echo detection of the blind listeners should be attributed to perceptual or physiological causes. Along with the perceptual results it is vital to know how the sounds are processed in the auditory system. Hearing research has led to the development of several auditory models by combining the physiological and psychological results with signal analysis methods. These models try to describe how the auditory system processes the signals. Hence, to analyze how the sounds are processed for the high detection of the blind, auditory models available in the literature were used in this thesis. The results suggest that repetition pitch is useful at shorter distances and is determined from the peaks in the temporal profile of the autocorrelation function computed on the neural activity pattern. Loudness attribute also plays a role in providing information for the listeners to echolocate at shorter distances. At longer distances timbre aspects such as sharpness information might be used by the listeners to detect the objects. It was also found that the repetition pitch, loudness and sharpness attributes in turn depend on the room acoustics and type of the stimuli used. These results show the fruitfulness of combining results from different disciplines through a mathematical framework given by signal analysis.

▼ Room acoustics considerably change how a listener perceives music because spaces introduce temporal and spatial cues into the auditory signals that can alter subjective impression. In particular, the reverberation of a room can influence a listeners overall preference to the musical passage. Reverberation has the potential to affect how the auditory and reward networks in the brain respond to auditory signals, but very little work has studied how room acoustics affects these responses even though much research has examined the effect of music. The overall goal of this doctoral work is to investigate the neural response to room acoustics stimuli using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Four studies were conducted with express objectives to: 1) substantiate fMRI as an appropriate tool to examine the reward response to room acoustics, 2) establish a concert hall stimulus set to effectively evoke a reward response, 3) investigate the auditory and reward responses to liked and disliked room acoustic conditions, and 4) further explore the auditory response to coherent and incoherent auditory information presented by room acoustics.The first experiment, an fMRI pilot study, was first completed with five subjects to ascertain whether a reward response could be detected in the brain due to variations in room acoustic conditions. The individual- and group-level analyses identified that a reward response to preferred concert hall conditions may be significant with the inclusion of more subjects and a set of concert hall stimuli that more readily elicits listener preferences. The second study, a conventional subjective listening test outside of the MRI scanner with 71 subjects, sought to establish specific musical motifs and room acoustic conditions to improve the stimulus selection process for neuroimaging experiments. Within that objective, the conventional listening study also examined the effect of participant listening expertise on preference to identify suitable candidates for recruitment based on the ability to discriminate between stimuli and the reliability of their preference ratings of reverberant stimuli. A k-means clustering analysis revealed that five groups exhibited starkly different preferences, prompting the selection of individualized stimulus sets for MRI experiments and the recruitment of only expert listeners, defined as musicians. The third and fourth experiments evaluated the auditory and reward responses to the room acoustics stimuli with fMRI. In the third study, auralizations of each individuals most liked and most disliked room acoustics conditions as well as anechoic musical motifs were presented to 18 participants in an MRI scanner. The results showed that the left and right primary auditory cortices (PAC) activated more so for clearer, simpler stimuli than for the more reverberant, complex stimuli. Specifically, the superior temporal gyri (STG) and Heschls Gyri (HG) exhibited higher activations in the presence of the anechoic musical motifs (no room acoustics effects) than the most-liked… Advisors/Committee Members: Michelle Celine Vigeant, Dissertation Advisor.
