The listener-distinctive features of recognition of different emotional intonations (positive, negative and neutral) of male and female speakers in the presence or absence of background noise were studied in 49 adults aged 20-79 years. In all the listeners noise produced the most pronounced decrease in recognition accuracy for positive emotional intonation ("joy") as compared to other intonations, whereas it did not influence the recognition accuracy of "anger" in 65-79-year-old listeners. The higher emotion recognition rates of a noisy signal were observed for speech emotional intonations expressed by female speakers. Acoustic characteristics of noisy and clear speech signals underlying perception of speech emotional prosody were found for adult listeners of different age and gender.
对49名年龄在20至79岁的成年人进行了研究，探讨在有或无背景噪音的情况下，听众对男性和女性说话者不同情感语调（积极、消极和中性）的辨别特征。在所有听众中，与其他语调相比，噪音使积极情感语调（“喜悦”）的识别准确率下降最为明显，而在65至79岁的听众中，噪音并未影响“愤怒”的识别准确率。对于女性说话者表达的语音情感语调，在有噪音的信号中观察到了更高的情感识别率。还发现了不同年龄和性别的成年听众在感知语音情感韵律时所依据的有噪音和清晰语音信号的声学特征。
