[Aviation noise as an ecological environmental factor].

Average diurnal doses of noise, received by aviation engineers servicing up-to-date aircrafts and living near air fields, were analyzed. The doses appeared to outnumber the normal values, especially during the work and the sleep. The examinees living in 1-2 km from air fields were proved to have significantly higher auditory thresholds for 1,000-8,000 Hz, in comparison with the examinees residing 5-6 km apart. The excessive noise associated with no occupational matters worsens the hearing restoration after the work, promotes accumulation of the hearing fatigue. Those facts were proved by experiments with audiometry and impedometry. The studies stressed the importance of aviation noise as ecologic factor.

[Synthetic speech and its perception in complex acoustic conditions].

Perception of synthetic speech in noise conditions has certain specific features which largely determine noise resistance of synthetic verbal communication. On the one hand, noise resistance of synthetic speech is lower than that of natural speech. This has been demonstrated by the study of the masking effect of 90 and 100 dB noise on natural and synthetic speech. On the other hand, there are methods of speech synthesis that seem very promising. Phonetic analysis of natural and synthetic syllables has shown that noise resistance of synthetic syllables is higher than that of natural syllables but perception of blended speech displays an inverse correlation. This demonstrates the fact that perception of verbal signals under noise conditions is based on the sensory relations that differ from those simulated by synthetic communication.
