Understanding the neural underpinnings of vocal–motor control in humans and other
animals remains a major challenge in neurobiology. The Lombard effect–a rise in call …

Humans and non‐human mammals exhibit fundamentally similar vocal responses to
increased noise, including increases in vocalization amplitude (the L ombard effect) and …

On the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of the Lombard effect, we review the
literature on noise-dependent regulation of vocal amplitude in humans and other animals …

Purpose To examine the influence of sound immersion techniques and speech production
tasks on speech adaptation in noise. Method In Experiment 1, we compared the modification …

The Lombard effect, an involuntary rise in call amplitude in response to masking ambient
noise, represents one of the most efficient mechanisms to optimize signal-to-noise ratio. The …

Noise has an effect on speech production. Stationary noise and babble have been used in
the past but the effect of a competing talker, which might be expected to cause different types …

Talkers change the way they speak in noisy conditions. For energetic maskers, speech
production changes are relatively well-understood, but less is known about how …

Speech output technology is finding widespread application, including in scenarios where
intelligibility might be compromised–at least for some listeners–by adverse conditions …

The use of live and recorded speech is widespread in applications where correct message
reception is important. Furthermore, the deployment of synthetic speech in such applications …

School classrooms are learning spaces for children and workplaces where a teacher's most
important tool, his or her voice, is subjected to considerable loading. Because noise has …
