The contribution of changes in F0 and spectral tilt to increased intelligibility of speech produced in noise

Y Lu, M Cooke - Speech Communication, 2009 - Elsevier
Talkers modify the way they speak in the presence of noise. As well as increases in voice
level and fundamental frequency (F0), a flattening of spectral tilt is observed. The resulting …
