Abstract:
Psychoacoustic metrics offer the means to analyse sound qualities using sophisticated models of human perception. A substantial drawback is the need for high-resolution acoustic data as input. Quasi-psychoacoustic metrics are proposed to address sound quality analysis when high-resolution acoustic data are unavailable. The proposed metrics aim to approximate sound qualities of loudness, sharpness, and tonal loudness using acoustic data with a much lower time resolution. As such, the metrics are expected to be primarily applicable to sounds featuring relatively slow modulations in intensity. A particular application case is used to validate the metrics: sound quality predictions for unmanned aircraft systems.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
Echo
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case, then the...
