    Listeners can track loudness decline without a reference sound. Introducing a reference sound can induce loudness adaptation, even when ignored, suggesting intermittent sounds prompt this effect.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory perception
    • Psychoacoustics

    Background:

    • Previous research suggested loudness adaptation requires a reference sound for judgment.
    • Hood and Wade (1982) and Weiler et al. (1981) argued against loudness decline without a reference.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if listeners require a reference sound to perceive loudness decline.
    • To determine if reference sounds induce loudness adaptation.

    Main Methods:

    • Method of successive magnitude estimation was employed.
    • Listeners tracked loudness changes of tones decreasing in intensity.
    • Loudness adaptation was measured with and without reference sounds.

    Main Results:

    • Listeners accurately tracked loudness decline without a reference sound.

  • A reference sound, even when ignored, induced loudness adaptation.
  • Larger and longer reference sound increments enhanced adaptation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Reference sounds are not necessary for listeners to track loudness decline.
    • Ipsilateral intermittent sounds can induce loudness adaptation, similar to contralateral sounds.
    • Loudness adaptation is generally absent under normal listening conditions above 30 dB SL.
