Systems and methods for identifying and remediating sound masking

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed in a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising acts of:

• (A) identifying a plurality of sound masking events in which sound in a first audio recording during a time period in a frequency range is masked by sound in a second audio recording during the time period in the frequency range, each sound masking event having an associated loudness loss defining a magnitude of the sound masking event, the loudness loss associated with each sound masking event being based at least in part on a difference between a loudness of the sound in the first audio recording occurring in isolation and a partial loudness of the sound in the first audio recording occurring concurrently with the sound in the second audio recording;
• (B) identifying a subset of the plurality of sound masking events as having a greater associated loudness loss than others of the plurality of sound masking events;
• and
• (C) causing a representation of the identified subset of the plurality of sound masking events to be displayed to a user on a graphical user interface.

A system, comprising:

• at least one computer-readable storage medium, having instructions encoded thereon;
• and
• at least one computer processor, programmed via the instructions to:
• identify a plurality of sound masking events in which sound in a first audio recording during a time period in a frequency range is masked by sound in a second audio recording during the time period in the frequency range, each sound masking event having an associated loudness loss defining a magnitude of the sound masking event, the loudness loss associated with each sound masking event being based at least in part on a difference between a loudness of the sound in the first audio recording occurring in isolation and a partial loudness of the sound in the first audio recording occurring concurrently with the sound in the second audio recording;
• identify a subset of the plurality of sound masking events as having a greater associated loudness loss than others of the plurality of sound masking events;
• and
• cause a representation of the identified subset of the plurality of sound masking events to be displayed to a user via a graphical user interface.
