In four experiments, we studied the influence of the level profile of time-varying sounds on
temporal perceptual weights for loudness. The sounds consisted of contiguous wideband …

Loudness is a fundamental aspect of auditory perception that is closely related to the
physical level of the sound. However, it has been demonstrated that, in contrast to a sound …

Real-world sounds like speech or traffic noise typically exhibit spectro-temporal variability
because the energy in different spectral regions evolves differently as a sound unfolds in …

Non-uniform temporal weights (TWs) are often reported regarding the perceptual evaluation
of dynamic auditory and visual information, such as perceptual judgments of the overall …

The importance of personalized and adaptable user-interfaces has been extensively
discussed (European Ambient Assisted Living Innovation Alliance, 2009; Alexandersson et …

To identify factors limiting performance in multitone intensity discrimination, we presented
sequences of five pure tones alternating in level between loud (85 dB SPL) and soft (30, 55 …

A previous letter by Gee et al.[J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 121, EL1–EL7 (2007)] revealed likely
shortcomings in using common, stationary (long-term) spectrum-based measures to quantify …

In everyday life, the auditory system often receives input from various sound sources at
different positions in space more or less simultaneously. The present study investigates how …

This study investigates the dynamic auditory perception in large sequential public spaces for
listeners in motion with a stationary primary sound source. Virtual soundwalks, involving four …

The level of broadband signals is usually lower than that of equally loud narrow-band
signals. This effect, referred to as spectral loudness summation, is commonly measured for …
