Dear list,
I am currently working on directional loudness as part of my
first year of PhD in the University of Brest, France.
I am planning an experiment of loudness for low-frequency pure
tones in the quiet (i.e. with internal noise only) and in
presence of an external low-level noise. In order to get the
subject used to external noise just like they are with internal
noise, I was thinking of doing the whole external noise part of
the test with a continuous backing noise, during from the very
beginning to the very end of this part.
In the literature, all I could find in loudness matching
procedure used gated noises, appearing and disappearing a few
seconds before/after the target stimuli.
Does any of you have ever heard of a loudness matching procedure
(or similar) using a continuous noise all over the duration of
the test ?
Best regards,
Gauthier Berthomieu.
