Thread-topic: Number of critical bands in human hearing?

User-agent: Microsoft-MacOutlook/16.76.23082700

Dear all,

In teaching an undergrad course on hearing science the students have asked, how many critical bands are there in normal healthy hearing? The text that we use says that there are 24. If I ask ChatGPT it also cites Fletcher and Munson’s estimation of 24, but what would it know. . .

Am I right in suspecting that this may have been revised upwards at some stage (?). Is the collective wisdom of the list able to help with this or point to an authoritative source?

Cheers

David
