Abstract

A listening test was conducted to assess the localization of

consecutive sound events in simulated reverberant conditions.

The stimuli consisted of two sound events, which

were reverberant wideband harmonic sounds

reproduced in a multichannel anechoic chamber. Localization

threshold for the latter sound event was measured as the

direct-to-reverberant sound level ratio with an adaptive transformed

up-down method. The studied factors affecting the localization

threshold were the time interval and pitch difference between the

two sound events and the time gap between the direct sound and

reverberation. The results indicate that all factors have a

significant effect on localization.
