Modulation interference degrades rather than abolishes modulation cues across a range of frequencies.

Evidence

However, there was a tendency of an overestimation of the effect for the same spectral distance masker-signal and interferer-masker and an underestimation of the effect of the interferer with a spectral distance not equal to that of signal and masker, at least for the 800-Hz target. This indicates that the present approach was too simplistic, i.e., modulation cues may only be reduced and not abolished by the presence of the interferer. In addition, not only modulation frequencies close to the beating frequency may be affected by the presence of the interferer but also other modulation frequencies. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3463
