Masking

  • Chapter
Psychoacoustics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Information Sciences ((SSINF,volume 22))

Abstract

The masking of a pure tone by noise or by other tones is described in this chapter. Both psychoacoustical tuning curves and temporal effects in masking are addressed, effects related to the pulsation threshold are described, and finally, models of masking are developed.
