Lombard Speech Examples
In automotive and medical speech processing the so-called Lombard effect (change of the speech production due to background noise) is of special importance. Below you can find a few examples. The speech files were generated by subject wearing headphones playing back the same signal as if the subjects would be in a car at different speeds.
