Re: sound events database



Hi -

You might be interested in the "Sound Events" database from CMU's Auditory Lab.
http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~auditorylab/AuditoryLab/data-files.html

The events are not exactly the type you describe, but they're cleanly recorded and with plenty of details of the recording setup, so may be close to what you're after.

Best
Dan

Dear List,

Anyone knows where could I find a calibrated database of sound events?

I mean events like car, trucks and motorcycle passby, birds, dogs ...
alarms. It is better if they are far from the background noise and
each event in a separated wavefile or very distant in time (not
overlapping).

The sounds that I am searching must not be in loosely compression
formats and must have a calibration reference  (e.g.) in order to know
the sound pressure level that represents the full scale of the file.

I will appreciate any help.

Best regards,
