Some influences of subjective tones in monaural tone−on−tone masking
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975The influences of subjective phenomena upon measurements of monaural tone−on−tone masking not only effects interpretations of sensitivity changes but may yield information about the underlying distortion mechanisms. The paradigm analyzed here involves simultaneous presentation of two pure tones: the masker (ωr) at fixed amplitude (α) and an interrupted

On the detection of a tone masked by two tones
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982We reopen the question of an appropriate representation to describe the masking of a sine tone midway in frequency between two sine maskers. We suggest that when the maskers are closely spaced in frequency signal detection is mediated by differences in the the stimulus envelope caused by the target signal.

Masking of tone by tone as a function of duration
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975Consideration of a proposed electrical model of monaural detection leads to the suggestion that subjects listening to long-duration signals may respond on the basis of amplitude peaks. To eliminate such peaks, a 500-Hz tone was employed as both masker and signal.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
It is possible to choose the starting phase of a pure tone in a way that minimizes the onset noise when the tone is turned on abruptly. A spectral model shows that when the tone has a low frequency, minimum onset noise is expected for a starting phase of zero (turning on a sine tone) but when the tone has a high frequency, minimum onset noise is ...

Oceanic Linguistics, 1990
Kairi has distinctive tones which function as a pitch-accent system: there is one syllable in each morpheme, described as the \"accented syllable,\" which must have its, tonal properties specified; once the accented syllable and its tone type have been specified, the tonal properties of the remaining syllables in the morpheme are assigned in a rule ...

The temporal course of simultaneous tone-on-tone masking
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985Threshold for a 20-ms, 1-kHz signal was measured as a function of its temporal position within a longer duration gated masker; masker frequencies were below, at, and above 1 kHz. For a masker frequency above the signal frequency, there is a sizable temporal effect: As the onset of the signal is delayed, threshold decreases rapidly but then increases ...

Preservation of lexical tones in singing in a tone language
Interspeech 2014, 2014Lexical tones are important for expressing meaning and usually have high priority in tone languages. This can create conflicts with sentence intonation in spoken language and with melodic templates in singing since all of these are transmitted by pitch.

Perceptual learning of Cantonese lexical tones by tone and non-tone language speakers
Journal of Phonetics, 2008Abstract Two groups of listeners, one of native speakers of a tone language (Mandarin Chinese) and one of native speakers of a non-tone language (English) were trained to recognize Cantonese lexical tones. Performance before and after training was measured using closed response-set identification and pairwise difference rating tasks.

Binaural Masking of a Tone by a Tone Plus Noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1970Many investigators have indicated that release from masking does not occur for tone-on-tone masking. From this statement, it was hypothesized that the release from masking observed when noise is masking a tone signal would be affected by the addition of a tone masker.

Masking of tone by tone as a function of duration
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974A 500-Hz tonal signal was masked by a continuous tone, both from the same oscillator. A two-interval-forced-choice procedure was used to determine the level required for 80% correct. The masker level was 50 dB SPL, and the signal was always in phase with the masker. Signal durations from 20 msec to 2 sec were employed.
