Abstract

The loudness of sound sources should be properly adjusted to remove its influence on timbre perception when the objective properties are changed. A comprehensive adjusting method is proposed which aims at the variations of loudness between different tones, and it is verified by the multi-dimensional scale model. The adjusted curves of loudness in an octave against the objective properties are obtained according to subjective experiments using a traditional Chinese instrument called "Erhu". Compared with a traditional adjusting method that only aims at one tone, the results show that it is necessary to adjust all the tones' corresponding loudness when the timbre properties are changed.
