Psychoacoustic parameter of sound known as loudness is a major quality factor for assessing the perceptual quality of service of speech signals transmitted through telecommunication networks. The Zwicker and Fastl loudness model is a preferred loudness model and in this work has been programmed to obtain both loudness and loudness level of speeches transmitted over wireless. Here,the best maximum instantaneous loudness of the transmitted speeches is 42.55% of that of the original speech. While the best maximum instantaneous loudness level of the transmitted speeches is 87.06% of that of the original speech. These showed an intuitive and innovative representation of the degradation suffered by the transmitted speeches with respect to the original speech.
Keywords: Loudness Model; Psychoacoustic Parameter; Quality of Service; Transmitted Speech.
