Abstract

By using the parameters for the ear and the equations for a ’’communication theory’’ model of the behavior of the ear, a family of masking curves can be drawn up which one can apply to the conditions prevalent in automotive vehicles. From the behavior of the ear and its ability to resolve sounds in noise, estimates can be made of the conditions under which sirens and speech communications will be audible within motor vehicles moving in traffic, and some estimate can also be made as to their potential for attracting notice. These quantities can be read off by graphic techniques. Examples of their use are given. Subject Classification: [43]65.50, [43]65.75, [43]65.58 [43]50.70.
