    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_tone

    In telecommunication, a standard test tone is a pure tone with a standardized level generally used for level alignment of single links and of links in tandem. [1]For standardized test signal levels and frequencies, see MIL-STD-188-100 for United States Department of Defense (DOD) use, and the Code of Federal Regulations Title 47, part 68 for other Government agencies.

    The vehicles are sealed tight to maximize containment of the sound energy for the decibel level meter. The competitor stands away from the vehicle with an on/off switch control while a computer voice announces the stages for the "races". The test tone consists of a very short resonating tone between 30 Hz and 70 Hz, called "the burp". [5]

    Ø L/R: Front LEFT and Front RIGHT – 880 Hz Ø C: CENTRE – 1320 Hz Ø Lfe: (Low Frequency Effects) – 82.5 Hz Ø Ls/Rs: Surround LEFT and Surround RIGHT – 660 Hz. The second section identifies front left and right channels (L/R) only: 1 kHz tone at -18 dBfs is interrupted four times on the left channel and is continuous on the right.

    In their study, test subjects listened to pure tones at various frequencies and over 10 dB increments in stimulus intensity. For each frequency and intensity, the listener also listened to a reference tone at 1000 Hz. Fletcher and Munson adjusted the reference tone until the listener perceived that it had the same loudness as the test tone.

  7. GLITS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glits

    Graham's Line Identification Tone System (GLITS) is a test signal for stereo systems devised by BBC TV Sound Supervisor and Fellow of the IPS Graham Haines in the mid-1980s. It comprises a 1 kHz tone at 0 dBu (-18 dBFS ) on both channels, with interruptions which identify the channels.

  8. Special information tone - Wikipedia

    A SIT, as defined by the ITU - Telecommunications Standardization Sector , consists of a sequence of three precise tone segments with frequencies of 950 ±50 Hz, 1400 ±50 Hz, and 1800 ±50 Hz, sent in that order. [2] [3] Each segment is allowed a duration of 330 ±70 ms with a silent interval of up to 30 ms between segments.

  9. Loop around - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_around

    A loop line or loop around is a telephone company test circuit. The circuit has two associated phone numbers. When one side of the loop is called (side A), the caller receives a test tone of approximately 1000 Hz (milliwatt test). When the second number (side B) is called, it produces dead silence, but the party on side A hears the milliwatt ...
