| Seminar Objectives: |
|
| This course is intended
for anyone who is involved with improving a product's
sound to enhance the product's overall quality. The course
is appropriate for product managers, design engineers,
test engineers, and technicians. |
| The central theme of this
course is using your own hearing to guide you in selecting
the optimum analyses for the complex sounds generated
by your product. A wide range of analysis choices, including
those based on the human hearing model and pattern recognition,
will be presented along with an explanation of their applicability
for a given sound attribute. A brief overview of auditory
physiology will lead directly to a more in-depth discussion
of psychoacoustics and its interrelationship with sound
quality metrics, and the psychology of sound perception.
An overview of the process for choosing an appropriate
target sound will include an introduction to jury testing
techniques and sound design. |
| Course documentation includes
printed material, PowerPoint presentations, and a library
of example sounds for analysis and evaluation. Software
to practice listening evaluation and exercise the jury
evaluation process is available for hands-on practice
of concepts introduced. |
