Does loudness represent sound intensity?

چکیده
In this paper I challenge the widely held assumption that loudness is perceptual correlate of sound intensity. Drawing on psychological and neuroscientific evidence, argue best understood not as a representation any feature wave, but rather reflection salience wave representation; determined by how much attention receives. Loudness what call quantitative character, species phenomenal character amount an underlying commands. distinguish from qualitative character; even characters represent degrees sensible magnitudes are phenomenally functionally distinct characters. A bifurcated account emerges; exhausted qualitative.

Does Meaning of Sound influence Loudness Judgements?
In former experiments, we compared consecutive loudness judgments based on the time sequence of a long-term traffic noise with two synthesized versions of this noise, one realized with help of FTT-based procedure, the other with the conventional procedure using a pink noise multiplied with the temporal envelope of the original sound. We found that meaning had no significant influence on loudnes...
متن کاملPerceived Loudness of Self-Generated Sounds Is Differentially Modified by Expected Sound Intensity
Performing actions with sensory consequences modifies physiological and behavioral responses relative to otherwise identical sensory input perceived in a passive manner. It is assumed that such modifications occur through an efference copy sent from motor cortex to sensory regions during performance of voluntary actions. In the auditory domain most behavioral studies report attenuated perceived...
متن کاملPleistocene Park: Does re-wilding North America represent sound conservation for the 21st century?
A group of conservation biologists recently proposed to populate western North America with African and Asian megafauna, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, and camels, to create a facsimile of a species assemblage that disappeared from the continent some 13,000 years ago. The goals of this program, known as ‘‘Pleistocene re-wilding’’, are to restore some of the evolutionary and ecological po...
متن کاملHyperacusis, sound annoyance, and loudness hypersensitivity in children.
The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of hyperacusis among school-aged children. We define hyperacusis as lowered loudness discomfort levels (LDL) associated with an abnormal annoyance to sounds. We used questionnaires, interviews, and estimates of LDL in a study of 506 children from 5 to 12 years of age from 15 different schools. Participants with LDL in the lowest ...
متن کاملCinema Sound and the Loudness Issue: Its Origins and Implications
For over five decades after the introduction of ‘talking movies’, the soundtracks of films were recorded in various types of analogue forms, such as variable-area optical film, variable-density optical film and magnetically-coated film. From the 1920s to the early 1970s, the background noise (hiss) inherent in the recording processes limited the level to which the sound could be amplified befor...
