    Masking-level differences (MLDs) increase with more clicks in a train. Acoustic power integration explains improved detection in antiphasic conditions for longer click trains.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory perception
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Signal processing in hearing

    Background:

    • Masking-level differences (MLDs) are crucial for understanding auditory perception.
    • Investigating MLDs with click trains reveals insights into temporal integration.
    • Previous studies show MLDs vary with stimulus properties like frequency and duration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure masking-level differences (MLDs) for click trains.
    • To examine the influence of interclick interval (ICI) and number of clicks on MLDs.
    • To explore the underlying mechanisms of MLDs in high-frequency transient sounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Measured MLDs for 2000-Hz bandpass click trains.
    • Varied the interclick interval (ICI) and the number of clicks (1-32).

  • Analyzed detectability in both homophasic and antiphasic conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • MLD magnitude increased with the number of clicks in the train.
    • MLDs were generally larger at longer ICIs, influenced by homophasic detectability.
    • Improved antiphasic detectability for 4-32 clicks suggests acoustic power integration.
    • Puzzling absence of MLDs for short high-frequency transient trains was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The number of clicks significantly impacts MLD magnitude.
    • Acoustic power integration is a key factor in detecting antiphasic click trains.
    • Further research is needed to explain MLD absence in short high-frequency transient trains.
