Re: Variability of natural speech production

[Christine Rankovic <rankovic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Nicola:

The book Speech and Hearing in Communication by Harvey Fletcher contains two 
chapters that may be useful to you.  They provide acoustic and perceptual 
qualities of individual speech sounds, respectively.  However, the book does 
NOT contain spectral distributions for individual speech sounds.



Chapter 4:  Acoustical Speech Powers (contains power of individual speech 
sounds)

Chapter 18:  Effects of Distortion on the Individual Speech Sounds (contains 
speech sound recognition under high- and low-pass filtering and as a 
function of intensity level)



Sincerely,

Christine Rankovic
