Abstract
A human observer is less effective at auditory intensity discrimination when the signal is a wide-band noise than when it is a pure (sinusoidal) tone. An experiment in intensity discrimination of Rayleigh noise shows that amplitude uncertainty seems to govern the discrimination. The empirical psychometric function is found to be only slightly displaced from the performance of an ideal energy detector.
