It is the s= ensation that allows judgment of whether a sound is strong or soft. Sounds = can be characterized by several perceptual features and among them, loudnes= s plays an important role. Loudness is very important for sound quality. No= ise annoyance is mainly influenced by loudness, because, in most situations= , the louder the sound, the more annoying it is. It is very important to co= ntrol loudness for users of hearing aids and cochlear implants, for whom th= e loudness of sounds must be appropriate and the temporal fluctuations in l= oudness (particularly for speech) must be well reproduced. Understanding ho= w the perception of loudness is formed in the auditory system and how it is= coded is therefore of great importance.Loudness has been mainly described = for stationary sounds, and we know quite well how it varies with level, fre= quency, bandwidth, and duration.
