Results from mechanical modelling experiments are used to validate the model where possible. Computer simulations using the model show that the sharpness of spectral zeros depends strongly on the source length and the correlation length of the source, and this is consistent with measurements of real speech.

Abstract

Most existing computer models of noise sources in fricatives simulate either point sources or distributed sources composed of independent source elements. This paper describes a model that allows spatial and temporal correlations within a distributed source to be manipulated in a time-domain finite-difference model of vocal tract acoustics. Results from mechanical modelling experiments are used to validate the model where possible. Computer simulations using the model show that the sharpness of spectral zeros depends strongly on the source length and the correlation length of the source, and this is consistent with measurements of real speech.
