等响曲线（Loudness curve）.docVIP

等响曲线（Loudness curve） After a lot of experimental measured loudness, such as curve of pure tone as shown in figure loudness curve - auditory threshold curve, it expresses the pure tone of the typical listener think same loudness of sound pressure level and frequency, the relationship between ordinate is sound pressure level in the figure, the abscissa is frequency, they are the objective physical quantity of sound. Because the frequency is not at the same time, the subjective feeling of the human ear is different, so each frequency has its own threshold sound pressure level and the pain threshold sound level, which can connect them to get the threshold line. There are thirteen loudness levels and units for the difference between the two lines. The threshold line is zero and the pain threshold is 120. All points on the same curve, although they represent different frequencies and sound pressure levels, their loudness is the same, so they are called equivocal curves. The magnitude of the loudness level (square), which is represented by each sound curve, is determined by the sound pressure level of the curve at 1000Hz. For example, the noise sounds as loud as the base tone of the 85dB, the noise level of the noise, which is 85 square. Loudness curve For pure sound, the isocluse curve indicates the relationship between loudness and frequency. Ear to different frequencies of sound is not the same as the smell of threshold and pain threshold and sensitivity are also different. For example, 200 hz 30 db sound and 1 KHZ 10 db of loudness of voice in the ear with the same sound, this is the so-called loudness different frequencies, with different intensity, but they do have equal loudness level, the unit is square (phon), such as 40 or 60 square response curve. At low intensity, the isoclines are similar to the auditory threshold. So if the intensity of the sound is equal, then the medium frequency sound will sound much louder than the low-frequency or high-frequency sound.
