Tone Detection

In-air pure tone detection thresholds of a harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) were measured using behavioural psychophysical techniques. Thresholds dropped from about 70 dB re 20 μPa at 0.1 kHz to about 35 dB re 20 μ Pa at 4 kHz and then increased to about 45 dB re 20 μPa at 16 kHz. Increased sensitivities at 2 and 8 kHz, which have been reported in other pinnipeds, were not evident. In-air intensity detection thresholds averaged 32 dB above their underwater counterparts (1–16 kHz). Masking studies found the critical ratios at 0.25, 0.5, and 1 kHz to be 24, 15, and 21 dB, respectively (white noise masker). From 0.2 to 1.5 kHz, bandwidths 20 dB below the level of pure tone maskers were 0.16–0.18 kHz. Circumstantial evidence suggests the possibility that blood vascular changes associated with diving might also influence the sensitivity of the auditory systems of seals. Under optimal conditions, a pup's airborne cries may be detected by its mother at ranges of 1 km or more.

Tone Detection

At present, the detection accuracy of monitoring method by human ears is not satisfying in the pure tone detection of on-vehicle loudspeakers. To solve this problem, a new method is proposed to convert vehicle loudspeakers response signals into a two-dimensional image signal via wavelet packet analysis, which can increase the time-frequency of malfunction information. Through image binaryzation and pretreatment image-edge detection, the resulting signal would be recognized with box-counting dimension acquired in the process of gaining time-frequency image through fractal dimension as malfunctioned indications. Experiments show a rate of fault recognition as high as 95% , which meet the requirements of online vehicle loudspeaker detection.

A transformer mixing network is described which allows the calibration of broad-band masking for portable audiometers that lack a built-in mixing network. For many instruments the transformer network is preferable to the resistive network previously published.
