Pitch and rhythm paradoxes: comments on "Auditory paradox based on fractal waveform".

Schroeder [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 79, 186-189 (1986)] describes the paradox of acoustic waveforms that sound lower when reproduced at higher speeds. The author has also demonstrated this paradox [J.C. Risset, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 46, 88 (A) (1969); see also Seventh ICA, Budapest, S10, 613-616 (1971)]; in addition he has recently synthesized a rhythmic analog of the paradox, namely rhythmical sequences that can sound slower when reproduced at higher speeds.

[Differences between right and left ears for pitch perception].

We define here tonal melodies and spectral melodies: For sounds containing only octaves, the former correspond to fundamental frequency variations and the latter to spectral envelope variations. In this paper we give statistical results of judgements showing that tonal melodies are better perceived by the right ear. Conversely the left ear is more able to recognize spectral melodies.
