references about loudness models

[Kaisu Krohn <kaisu.krohn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory list,

I wish to thank warmly all those who offered their help in finding the 
reference I was searching for (please see below the original message). 
As some were interested in hearing about the suggestions I may have 
received I wished to attach the references given me below. None of them 
seemed to be the very exact correspondence to the article I had heard 
about but otherwice most useful.

Thank you again!

Best wishes, Kaisu Krohn

Dear Auditory list,

I would have wished to ask for your help in finding a certain reference. 
I heard from one professor of Acoustics about an article in which 
several loudness models for musical signals were tested. In this 
article, the authors came up with a conclusion that the loudness models 
didn't necessarily apply in all cases to musical signals since the 
models usually have been targeted for stationary wideband signals - such 
as continuous white noise or filtered noise. Unfortunately the professor 
couldn't recall the exact reference to this work. Would anyone of you 
know how to find this article? Also, other references related to this 
topic are of course very welcome!

Very many thanks for your suggestions!

Best wishes, Kaisu Krohn

Both are from the proceedings of AES conventions in 2004. You may also 
want to take a look at:

sounds', ACTA ACUSTICA UNITED WITH ACUSTICA 88(3), 359--368.

so loud? Perception and modeling of the loudness of amplitude-compressed 
speech', JOURNAL OF THE AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY 51(12), 1123--1132.

And more recently:

time-varying sounds in the presence of background sounds

The last two references are based on Glasberg and Moores’ model 
described in:
