Abstract :
The relations of intensity Just Noticeable Difference (JND) to intensity for tone bursts maybe depend on signal durations according to Jont B.AIIenʹs [J.Acoust.Soc.Am.l02, 1997, 3628-3646.]. The intensity just noticeable differences for tone bursts with durations of 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, 1000 ms, 5000 ms and 10000 ms were measured at different intensity levels of 20 dB, 30 dB, 40 dB, 50 dB, 60 dB, 70 dB, 80 dB, 90 dB, 100 dB. The data show that variance of Weber fraction (AJ/J) with intensity is distinct from Rieszʹs result and SPIN theory, and that the relations between Weber fraction and intensity for signals of different durations are similar in spite of Weber fraction decreasing to asymptote with signal duration increasing. This means the difference of pulse measurement of intensity JND from Rieszʹs result and SPIN theory does not arise from the limited signal duration of pulse method and provides new cue for hearing research.
