Dear list, hello!

I have a question that for some of you might be very simple, but I can't find this information easily:

Does anyone know anything about the level of the recordings in the TIMIT corpus?

Are they somehow normalised to a specific speech level like, e.g., 65 dB SPL?

I'd appreciate any short or extended answer...

Thank you in advance,

Alejandro
