2 how to analyse p(t) to obtain an earrelated parameter? general remarks on acoustical analysis ear-related signal processing hearing sensation sensation of vibration time-frequency representations

3 acoustical analysis time related level, envelope statistical level-/ envelope-distributions modulation-frequency analysis estimates for impulsive sound

4 acoustical analysis related to spectral properties weighting functions (A, B, C,...) octave, third-octave spectrum high resolution Fourier analysis bandwidth time-window 1

5 ear-related signal processing two ears spatial hearing source localisation suppression of disturbing noise interaural correlation Measuring system Head Acoustics

23 Just-noticable vibration difference value

24 multispectrum frequency resolution 1/3 octave, except for frequencies below 200 Hz time resolution, signal duration loudness fluctuation: > 1 s stationary: at least 200 ms fluctuation strength: time window < 50 ms roughness: time window < 5 ms

25 interior noise of a passenger jet seat #4, 200 ms length, relative level in steps of 2.5 db time [ms] 5k 4k 3.15k 2.5k 2k 1.6k 1.25k 1k frequency [Hz]

26 interior noise of a passenger jet seat #5, 200 ms length, relative level in steps of 2.5 db time [ms] 5k 4k 3.15k 2.5k 2k 1.6k 1.25k 1k frequency [Hz]

27 technical multispectrum linear transformations (log. amplitude) seven 1/3 octaves below 80 Hz three 1/3 octaves from 100 to 160 Hz two 1/3 octaves from 200 to 250 Hz additional tracks of weighted vibration signal time window 6 ms signal duration 200 ms

28 towards an ear-related representation keeping time frequency resolution including masking effects (loudness meter) object binding (identification of tonal components)

29 part-tone time-pattern pttp [Terhardt, Heinbach, Mummert, ] location time time dependant excitation pattern frequency contour-plot: line-pattern of significant features time

30 4 th order Fourier-time-transformation FTT [Terhardt] (gamma-tone, wavelet) identifiy local maxima (level 3 db) in cuts parallel to frequency axis identify local changes in level with respect to time in cuts parallel to time axis connect identified points to lines according to threshold criteria Ommit short lines (texture) and keep long ones (contour)

31 pttp-contour of a tyre noise

32 high-resolution pttp-contour of a helicopter in flight

33 multispectrum of a helicopter in flight time [ms] 5k 4k 3.15k 2.5k 2k 1.6k 1.25k 1k frequency [Hz]

34 technical realisation/ measurements no spatial information: mono microphone acceleration in z sufficient (sensitivity) single value for vibration in multispectrum 200 ms time history (steady state) time window for spectrum > 5 ms no masking

35 summary and future developement time-frequency representations are similar to the excitation pattern of the ear data reduction schemes like pttp can improve the multispectrum representation additional spectral analysis of the envelope provides effective information about time fluctuations the images are an efficient input for pattern recognition schemes (like ANN)
