ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer readable medium for increasing the audio perceptual loudness includes shifting at least one frequency of a first audio signal to create a second audio signal so as to increase the audio perceptual loudness. The power level of the second audio signal is not more than a power level of the first audio signal. The method also includes generating high-audio perceptual loudness tone alert sequences based on psychoacoustic and audiometric data. It further includes acquiring a listener's threshold audio profile; adding the listener's audio profile to the loudness sensitivity curve for producing the listener's tonal sensitivity curve; determining a required dB scaling for critical band tones from the listener's tonal sensitivity curve; normalizing the tonal sensitivity curve for creating a decibel curve; selecting a frequency range of the tones by using the tonal sensitivity curve; and spacing the sequence of tones along a critical band scale.
