Abstract

Harmonics-to-noise ratio (0-500, 0-1500, 0-2500, 0-3500, F1, F2, B1, B2. The statistical results have shown that the parameters decrease in the following manner: 1) H1: M > Br > T > Cr > W; 2) H1H2: W > Br > (M = Cr) > T; 3) H1A3: (W=Br) > M > Cr > T; 4) B1: T > W > Br > M > W; 5) B2: M > T > Cr > Br > W; 6) CPP: T > M > Br > Cr > W; 7) Energy: T > M > Cr > Br > W. Moreover HNR presented the same decreasing pattern for the four conditions (W > M > T > Br > Cr), and the formants F1 and F2 also presented a similar decreasing pattern (T > M > Br > Cr > W).
