Abstract

The basic, perceived attributes of sound can be divided into those qualities that distinguish different sounds independent of location (temporal sensations) and those related to a sound’s perceived location in space (spatial sensations). Temporal sensations include pitch, loudness, timbre, and duration. They can be described in terms of temporal factors extracted from the autocorrelation function (ACF). The ACF has the same information as the power density spectrum of the signal under analysis. From the ACF, however, significant factors may be extracted, which are related to temporal sensations.
