Abstract
Detection thresholds were obtained for short duration rising tone glides and falling tone glides for normal hearing listeners in quiet and with varied levels of background, broadband noise. For signal durations 50 ms, or greater, pure tones were detectable at lower levels than were rising and falling tone glides; no level effects were observed. For signal durations less than 50 ms an interaction between background noise level, signal duration, and signal class was observed. The previously reported tendency for short duration rising glides to be detected at lower sound pressures than pure tones or falling tone glides appears to be unique to a limited range of noise levels (40–75 dB).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
