Autophonic Loudness of Singers in Simulated Room Acoustic Environments

Manuj Yadav, Densil Cabrera

This paper aims to study the effect of room acoustics and phonemes on the perception of loudness of one's own voice (autophonic loudness) for a group of trained singers. For a set…

Two simultaneous talkers distract more than one in simulated multi-talker environments, regardless of overall sound levels typical of open-plan offices

Manuj Yadav, Densil Cabrera

The irrelevant speech effect (ISE) characterizes detriment to cognitive task performance in the presence of irrelevant speech. This paper examines whether the ISE varies due to the…
