Pure tone pitch shift decomposes additively into level and masking components

Evidence

The total pitch shift v of a pure tone can be devided into two components: one component, VL, due to the level dependence of pitch, and a second component, VM, due to the partial masking, where The frequency pitch HF of pure tones given in pitch units (pu) can be calculated according to the formula: Fig. — Professor Dr.-Ing.
