Microphone handling noise : measurements of perceptual threshold and effects on audio quality (2015)
Journal Article
Kendrick, P., Jackson, I., Fazenda, B., Cox, T., & Li, F. (2015). Microphone handling noise : measurements of perceptual threshold and effects on audio quality. PLoS ONE, 10(10), e0140256. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0140256

A psychoacoustic experiment was carried out to test the effects of microphone handling noise on perceived audio quality. Handling noise is a problem affecting both amateurs using their smartphones and cameras, as well as professionals using separate...

Perceived audio quality of sounds degraded by non-linear distortions and single-ended assessment using HASQI (2015)
Journal Article
assessment using HASQI. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 63(9), 698-712. https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2015.0068

For field recordings and user generated content recorded on phones, tablets, and other mobile devices nonlinear distortions caused by clipping and limiting at pre-amplification stages, and dynamic range control (DRC) are common causes of poor audio...

Perceptual thresholds for the effects of room modes as a function of modal decay (2015)
Journal Article
of modal decay. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 137(3), 1088-1098. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4908217

Room modes cause audible artifacts in listening environments. Modal control approaches have emerged in scientific literature over the years and, often, their performance is measured by criteria that may be perceptually unfounded. Previous research...
