"I always say that, working in films, a composer can have no ego". David Whelton, the Philharmonia Orchestra's managing director, expressed sympathy for the criticisms of synthesised sound, observing that "noticeably" fewer films were being scored for symphony orchestra than 20 years ago.
The dominance of the low frequency sound over the high frequency sound, observed for sounds separated in azimuth, was not due to low frequency masking of high frequency information.
The lack of fish sounds observed here may be directly related to the low diversity and abundance of fishes present at the Barkley Canyon site.
Recent clinical failures and abnormal sounds observed in certain prosthetic hip designs have directed attention to adverse condition hip simulator testing.
"Chinese names are often chosen for their meaning, but English names are often chosen for their sounds," observed Ye Chongguang, 20, a junior at Beijing University who chose the name Magic Johnson, after the basketball star, whom he says he worships.
It remains a challenge for future research to examine whether the effect of looming sounds observed in the present study is specific to biological motion.
If the effects of looming sounds observed in the present study were to be specific to biological motion then the neural structures most likely to be involved might be the structures containing multisensory neurons specifically tuned to the perception and/or production of specific action patterns, namely audiovisual mirror neurons [17],[17].
This had an unexpected effect on temporal coding in the central auditory system: neuronal single and multiunit responses in the inferior colliculus showed higher excitability and greater precision of temporal coding that may be linked to the improved discrimination of temporally modulated sounds observed in behavioral training.
For help on this, I turned to the pronunciation maven Charles Harrington Elster, author of "Is There a Cow in Moscow?" (Yes, but there is no zoo in zo-ology.) "New York tawk features a diphthongal aw sound," Elster observes, "that in heavy New Yorkese sounds almost disyllabic".
However strange this may sound, Abelard observes that sometimes we do assign causes which are not things.
