Reverberation degrades F0-modulated speech cues more than static-pitch cues, while noise degrades both equally

Evidence

The interaction between reverberation and F0 modulation is further illustrated by plotting template contrast in response to modulated-F0 vowels against that in response to static-F0 vowels (Fig. 4 ). For both singleand double-vowel responses, the reduction in template contrast in the presence of reverberation is much greater in the modulated-F0 condition relative to the static-F0 condition (Fig. 4b , e ). In the presence of noise, the maximum template contrast is reduced equally for modulatedand static-F0 vowels (Fig. 4c , f ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5054
