BookDOI
Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for active noise control in a multi-channel audio system with the goal of reducing the amount of active noise in the system by using adaptive techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Program for calculating loudness according to DIN 45631 (ISO 532B).
TL;DR: The method for calculating loudness level proposed by Zwicker is standardized in ISO 532B and has been modified for the NEC PC-9801 series computers and is introduced in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous judgment of level-fluctuating sounds and the relationship between overall loudness and instantaneous loudness
Sonoko Kuwano,Seichiro Namba +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that instantaneous loudness is determined by the sound energy averaged during the 2.5-s period preceding each judgment, the duration of which seems to reflect the psychological present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irrelevant background speech and human performance: Is there long-term habituation?
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of irrelevant background speech and speech-simulating noise on working memory were investigated, and the results showed that there is no effect of habituation to the background speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological study on Leq as a measure of loudness of various kinds of noises
Seiichiro Namba,Sonoko Kuwano +1 more
TL;DR: The application of Leq as a measure of loudness of various noises is investigated in this article, where nine kinds of noise sources, -aircraft noise, super express train noise, train noises, road traffic noise, speech, music, impulsive noise, artificial levelfluctuating noise and steady state noise-are used as stimuli.
