Prediction Method of the Sound Pressure at the Eardrum in Dummy Head

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Computer simulation of acoustic scenes is an important prerequisite of rendering. Technology for 3-D sound reproduction, the so-called “audio front end” or the “acoustic human-machine interface” is an essential component of VR systems, which must be capable of fulfilling high quality standards involving psycho-acoustically relevant cues. One of the factors that can affect the sound transmission in the ear is the sound pressure at the position of the eardrum. In order to find the absolute error of the sound pressure at the position of the eardrum using an artificial ear, the standardized method for the measurement of sound pressure reflectance in an acoustic tube was applied. It is based on the transfer function between two microphone locations in an impedance tube. The end of the tube representing the measurement plane was placed at the ear canal entrance of the artificial ear. From the results, it can be found that (a) the sound pressure reflectance of the eardrum of artificial ear can be determined in 100 Hz to 10 kHz, and (b) the sound pressure level at the position of the eardrum can be predicted with an error under 3 dB in 200 Hz to 4 kHz, and predicted with an error up to 7 dB in 200 Hz to 10 kHz.
