Dear Auditory list, I wish to thank warmly all those who offered their help in finding the reference I was searching for (please see below the original message). As some were interested in hearing about the suggestions I may have received I wished to attach the references given me below. None of them seemed to be the very exact correspondence to the article I had heard about but otherwice most useful. Thank you again! Best wishes, Kaisu Krohn -------------------------------------------------------- Dear Auditory list, I would have wished to ask for your help in finding a certain reference. I heard from one professor of Acoustics about an article in which several loudness models for musical signals were tested. In this article, the authors came up with a conclusion that the loudness models didn't necessarily apply in all cases to musical signals since the models usually have been targeted for stationary wideband signals - such as continuous white noise or filtered noise. Unfortunately the professor couldn't recall the exact reference to this work. Would anyone of you know how to find this article? Also, other references related to this topic are of course very welcome! Very many thanks for your suggestions!
