Niamut "Degradation Decomposition of the Perceived Quality of Speech Signals on the Basis of a Perceptual Modeling Approach," J. Audio Eng. Soc., vol. 55, pp. 1059-1076 (2007 Dec.). Although focussed on speech the method can also be used for other types of signals.

The ideal investigation would compare a single recorded sound that has been processed with 2 different equalization (frequency vs gain) curves. I am aware of the recent work by Terasawa et al., but I am most interested in real (recorded) sounds.
