Abstract:

An investigation was made into whether the main characteristics of non-speech sounds are identified in the same way as those of speech. If this is so, it would be useful to transform marine sounds into a speech mode for analysis. The dimensions studied were source waveform, fundamental frequency, and formant number and position. The results are reported.
