I would recommend a pair of papers that just came out from Mario
Ruggero's lab::

Wiener-kernel analysis of responses to noise of chinchilla auditory-nerve
fibers. J Neurophysiol. 2005 Jan 19; [Epub ahead of print]
PMID: 15659532

responses to tones, clicks and noise and comparison with basilar-membrane
vibrations. J Neurophysiol. 2005 Jan 19; [Epub ahead of print]
