The app was redesigned during 2023 due to changes to Android; it re-released in December 2023. [1] An iOS app was released in 2014. [1] The mobile versions of MyNoise have some free soundscapes, but offer a bundle of more for $10. [9] [10] The web version is mostly free, but some features can be unlocked with a one-time donation.

The intensities displayed on the audiogram appear as linear 10 dBHL steps. However, decibels are a logarithimic scale, so that successive 10 dB increments represent greater increases in loudness. For humans, normal hearing is between −10 dB(HL) and 15 dB(HL), [2] [3] although 0 dB from 250 Hz to 8 kHz is deemed to be 'average' normal hearing.
The horizontal part of the curves is where the noise is inaudible. Thus, there is no masking effect on the SRT. The horizontal portion of the curve for the SNHL and CHL extends further than that for a normal hearing person, as the noise needs to become audible to become a problem. Thus, more noise has to be applied, to produce a masking effect.
SRS. Sound Retrieval System (SRS) is a patented psychoacoustic 3D audio processing technology originally invented by Arnold Klayman in the early 1980s. [citation needed] The SRS technology applies head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to create an immersive 3D soundfield using only two speakers, widening the "sweet spot", creating a more spacious sense of ambience, and producing strong ...
Varying the time delay causes these to sweep up and down the frequency spectrum. A flanger is an effects unit that creates this effect. Part of the output signal is usually fed back to the input (a re-circulating delay line), producing a resonance effect that further enhances the intensity of the peaks and troughs. The phase of the fed-back ...
Of teenagers, 20-50 percent experience exposure to noise levels high enough to cause acute acoustic trauma. [10] Hearing loss due to noise is the second most common sensorineural hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss (presbycusis). Of more than 28 million Americans with some degree of hearing impairment, as many as 10 million have ...
The result of most audiometry is an audiogram plotting some measured dimension of hearing, either graphically or tabularly. The most common type of audiogram is the result of a pure tone audiometry hearing test which plots frequency versus amplitude sensitivity thresholds for each ear along with bone conduction thresholds at 8 standard ...
Psychoacoustic tuning curves can be measured using the notched-noise method. This form of measurement can take a considerable amount of time and can take around 30 minutes to find each masked threshold. [10] In the notched-noise method the subject is presented with a notched noise as the masker and a sinusoid (pure tone) as the signal.
