Method and system for improving subjective sound rendering

A system for generating sound within a predetermined environment, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer program product comprising a storage medium storing computer executable instructions thereon that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
• control a first emitter located at a first location for emitting a pure sinusoidal audio signal;
• and
• control a second emitter located at a second location for emitting a noisy sinusoidal audio signal,
• wherein:
• the first location and the second location are distinct;
• the pure sinusoidal audio signal and the noisy sinusoidal audio signal have a same frequency;
• and
• within a listening area of the predetermined environment, the pure sinusoidal audio signal emitted from the first location has a first amplitude that is equal to or greater than a second amplitude of any other signal having said frequency and concurrently emitted from at least one of the first location and the second location,
• wherein the storage medium stores further computer executable instructions thereon that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
• determine that within the listening area of the predetermined environment, of all signals having said frequency and concurrently emitted from the first location and the second location, a given one of said all signals having the greatest amplitude is emitted from the second location;
• and
• in response to the determination, concurrently control the first and second emitters for emitting within the predetermined environment:
• the noisy sinusoidal audio signal from the first location, and
• the pure sinusoidal audio signal from the second location,
• wherein within the listening area of the predetermined environment, the pure sinusoidal audio signal emitted from the second location has a greater amplitude than any other signal having said frequency and concurrently emitted from at least one of the first location and the second location.
