Popis: One of the quality factors of almost every professional audio instrument is the total harmonic distortion (THD) factor. In view of attempts to reduce it to the smallest possible values, a question comes up: what is the real human threshold of perceiving harmonic distortion? In an effort to examine the perceptibility of harmonic distortion we conducted subjective tests on a great number of examinees using different music samples. For this purpose we developed a test method that includes listening to different music samples containing different levels of harmonic distortion, using a special graphic user interface in order to keep the handling and reproducing the samples as simple as possible as well as to prevent weariness of the examinees.
