Analysis of speech production in a noisy environment

Abstract

This study aims to identify the compensatory strategies that speaker develops in speech production in noisy environment. We have developed a method which allows studying the effect of noise on acoustic parameters that characterize the speech signal (F0 duration, formants, cepstral and LPC parameters). The results reflect the speakers' attitudes towards noise and allowed a classification of acoustic parameters used in order of the sensitivity to noise. These results can then be decisive in the choice of acoustic parameters in communication systems.
