Abstract
The human ear has considerable sensitivity to certain phase differences. Phase differences are either detectable because of amplitude variations of combination-tones (caused by mechanical nonlinearities) or can be perceived on account of signal envelope differences. Although phase effects have been demonstrated with two-component maskers (Raiford and Schubert, 1971, and others), more detailed investigations of the perceptive relevance of signal envelopes must be carried out with multicomponent maskers.
