Subject: Re: sound events database From: Bob Masta <audio@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:24:08 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Ernesto: I don't know where to find such a database, but I wonder about the purpose of a reference level. It seems to me that this would be relatively useless without knowing how far the mic was from the source. Just curious what you are planning to do with this.
