These sound files were recorded using a Core Sound TetraMic microphone and an Edirol R4 portable recording device. The files were converted to B-format in FurseMalham normalization and channel order, using the software tetrafile from Fons Adriaenssen [3]. Files: birds_oldenburg.wav: Birds, recorded on an early Sunday morning in spring in a backyard in the city of Oldenburg, Germany. The recording is high-pass filtered to remove remote traffic noise.
mensa.wav: Babble noise, recorded during lunch time in the cafeteria of the science campus of University of Oldenburg, Germany. The file was edited to remove intelligible conversations.
remote_traffic.wav: Remote traffic sounds, recorded on a weekday in a backyard in the city of Oldenburg, Germany.
traffic.wav: Dense traffic sounds, recorded close to traffic lights at a busy street crossing in Oldenburg, Germany. *.license: License abbreviation and author information, for use in the acoustic simulation tool TASCAR [1].
