Erratum

Abstract

An error has been noted in the paper [Moorhouse, AT and Waddington, DC and Adams, MD. The effect of fluctuations on the perception of low frequency sound. Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 26 (2), 81–89, 2007]

The L¹⁰-L⁹⁰ figures in Table III should be as below:

The text above figure 9 should read:

The simplified trend can then be described as follows.

i. L¹⁰-L⁹⁰ less than about 4 dB: no penalty.

ii. L¹⁰-L⁹⁰ greater than about 4 dB: penalty of 5 dB.

Figure 9 and caption should be as below:
