Abstract
Psychoacoustic metrics offer the means to analyse sound qualities using sophisticated models of human perception. A substantial drawback is the need for high-resolution acoustic data as input. Quasi-psychoacoustic metrics are proposed to address sound quality analysis when high-resolution acoustic data are unavailable. The proposed metrics aim to approximate sound qualities of loudness, sharpness, and tonal loudness using acoustic data with a much lower time resolution. As such, the metrics are expected to be primarily applicable to sounds featuring relatively slow modulations in intensity. A particular application case is used to validate the metrics: sound quality predictions for unmanned aircraft systems.
