The intelligibility of whitened and peak clipped speech
Abstract:
Consonant-nucleus-consonant monosyllabic words were filltered such that each spectral component had equal energy (i.e., "whitened") and peak clipped in one of four ways: minimal, 20, 30, and 40 dB of clipping. In addition, unmodified consonant-nucleus-consonant words were used as stimuli. These different types of sppech were presented to 20 persons with normal hearing at various sensation levels. The results indicate that whitening and peak clipping do not substantially degrade speech intelligibility. In fact, under some conditions whitening and peak clipping may slightly enhance intelligibility.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
