Title
Implementing sharpness using specific loudness calculated from the "Procedure for the Computation of Loudness of Steady Sounds".
Abstract
Sharpness as defined in DIN 45692 and in Fastl and Zwicker [2007] is a measure of the scaled center of frequency of a sound, i.e., sounds with relatively greater high-frequency content have a greater sharpness than those with proportionally greater low-frequency content. The sharpness percept also influences the overall “pleasantness” of a sound and is thus important to sound acceptability. Measures of sharpness have been predominantly constructed to work with Zwicker’s loudness model [DIN 45631/ISO 532B], with less attention to the standardized model given in “Procedure for the Computation of Loudness of Steady Sounds” [ANSI S3.4-2007]. In this paper, a mathematical method for adapting the standardized sharpness measure for use with the ANSI S3.4-2007 loudness standard (and other loudness metrics producing a specific loudness distribution) is discussed. Benchmarking results for the resultant ANSI-based metric implementations and potential limitations of this approach are also addressed.
