Gated white noise was used as a stimulus in a psychophysical experiment to determine the temporal resolution of the ear. Although exhibiting temporal periodicity of the envelope, gated while noise has a uniform power spectrum that possesses no information for a place mechanism of the ear. Four subjects varied the gating frequency to match this stimulus to a 0.1-msec click whose repetition frequency was set by the experimenter. All stimuli were 40 dB SL. Ungated noise was added to the gated noise to mask any switching transients. Fraction of time noise was gated on and filter conditions were set by the experimenter. For an on time fraction of 0.2 and 0.5, time information in the gated noise (all pass and 2400 cps high pass) could be utilized to match to a click frequency up to 750 cps. With 4800 cps high-pass gated noise, a weak timing signal was probably perceived up to 2000 cps. In a second part of the experiment, subjects attempted to lateralize gated, binaurally incoherent noise. A lateralized image could be formed up to a frequency of about 600 cps. The timing signal present in gated noise is not necessarily related to the percept of pitch, especially for high pass stimuli.
