Re: Simultaneous Auditory Masking

[William Treurniet <bill.treurniet@xxxxxx>]

Although it may be more than what you are looking for, there is a recent
publication in the JAES describing an auditory model for measuring the
perceived quality of wide band audio. The method is recommended by the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for this purpose. The reference
is

Thiede T., Treurniet W., Bitto R., Schmidmer C., Sporer T., Beerends J.,
Colomes C., Keyhl M., Stoll G., Brandenburg K., and Feiten, B. (1999).
PEAQ - the ITU standard for objective measurement of perceived audio
quality, J. Audio Eng. Soc. 48, 3-29, 2000 (Jan/Feb).

Additional details of the model may be found in the ITU Recommendation 1387,
"Method for objective measurement of perceived audio quality".
