A distribution based definition of impulse noise.

J Erdreich

    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Defining impulsive noise is crucial for understanding auditory pathology and worker protection. Sample kurtosis offers a generally applicable method for classifying impulsive noise, independent of specific duration or amplitude characteristics.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Auditory science
    • Acoustics

    Background:

    • Defining impulsive noise is challenging for auditory pathology research and worker protection.
    • Existing definitions often rely on specific duration and amplitude, limiting applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a generally applicable definition of impulsive noise.
    • To establish a classification method independent of specific noise characteristics like duration and amplitude.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated the use of a fixed time window for noise classification.
    • Utilized temporary threshold shift (TTS) production in the ear to establish a biological basis for impulsiveness.
    • Evaluated sample kurtosis as a metric for classifying impulsive noise.

    Main Results:

    • A definition of impulsive noise independent of duration and amplitude is ideal but difficult to achieve.
    • A fixed time window offers an alternative basis for classification.
    • Sample kurtosis provides a generally applicable method for defining impulsive noise.

    Conclusions:

    • Classification of noise impulsiveness based on sample kurtosis meets the requirements for a generally applicable definition.
    • This approach aids in both research on auditory pathology and practical worker protection from impulsive noise exposure.
