Subject: [AUDITORY] Continuous noise during a loudness test. From: Gauthier BERTHOMIEU <gauthier.berthomieu@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2017 12:03:15 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------155523684F1332EA685DF323 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear list, I am currently working on directional loudness as part of my first year of PhD in the University of Brest, France. I am planning an experiment of loudness for low-frequency pure tones in the quiet (i.e. with internal noise only) and in presence of an external low-level noise. In order to get the subject used to external noise just like they are with internal noise, I was thinking of doing the whole external noise part of the test with a continuous backing noise, during from the very beginning to the very end of this part. In the literature, all I could find in loudness matching procedure used gated noises, appearing and disappearing a few seconds before/after the target stimuli. Does any of you have ever heard of a loudness matching procedure (or similar) using a continuous noise all over the duration of the test ? Best regards, Gauthier Berthomieu. --------------155523684F1332EA685DF323 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <p><font face="Times New Roman">Dear list,<br> <br> I am currently working on directional loudness as part of my first year of PhD in the University of Brest, France. <br> I am planning an experiment of loudness for low-frequency pure tones in the quiet (i.e. with internal noise only) and in presence of an external low-level noise.
