Positive second derivative of masker drives low-frequency masking-period patterns

Evidence

This is an unexpected effect which has been confirmed for a large number of subjects. For a masker level of 95 dB, the masking-period pattern is shifted towards higher levels of the test-tone burst. At 105 dB, the masking-period pattern is shifted even higher and shows two peaks within the period of the masker. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing.
