Abstract
Sounds in the natural environment are non-stationary, in that their spectral dynamics is time-dependent. We develop measures to analyze the spectral dynamics of environmental sound signals and find that they fall into two categories-simple sounds with slowly varying spectral dynamics and complex sounds with rapidly varying spectral dynamics. Based on our results and those from auditory processing we suggest rate of spectral dynamics as a possible scheme to categorize sound signals in the environment.Mesh:
