MASKING SHIFTS ANIMAL CALLS

(Amplitude)

SOUND & AUDITORY MASKING

PSYCHOACOUSTICS:

MUSIC, SOUND LOCALIZATION,MISSING FUNDAMENTAL,

Two alterations of animal signals can mitigate the effects of masking noise:changes in amplitude and changes in frequency.

TRANSONDENT ARCHITECTURE URBAN CANYON VERTICALITY

Echoes would degrade the ability of many animals,including humans, to localize or perceive signalswere it not forperceptual mechanisms that supressreverberation; despite which, urban canyons oftenrender human speech unintelligible just as natural

canyons degrade transmission of animal signals.

The most perfect are the mostnoiseless machines, and this applies

to the social organism as well.
