sound:compute loudness ISO 532-1 (time-varying)

Last update: 03.06.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Compute the loudness over time of an input signal, according to the ISO532-1 standard for time-varying sounds. Loudness over time computation includes the calculation of the instantaneous loudness and the percentile values N5 and N10, in sone, and the instantaneous loudness level and the percentile values L5 and L10, in phon.

Inputs

Input Name Expected type(s) Description
Pin 0
Required
input_signal field Input signal in Pa on which to compute loundess over time.
Pin 1 field_type string Field type associated with the recording conditions (supported values: 'Free', 'Diffuse'). Default: 'Free'.

Outputs

Output Name Expected type(s) Description
Pin 0 output_loudness_sone_vs_time field Instantaneous loudness in sone.
Pin 1 output_N5 double N5 indicator in sone, that is, the loudness value that is exceeded during a cumulated 5 % of the signal duration.
Pin 2 output_N10 double N10 indicator in sone, that is, the loudness value that is exceeded during a cumulated 10 % of the signal duration.
Pin 3 output_loudness_phon_vs_time field Instantaneous loudness level in phon.
Pin 4 output_L5 double L5 indicator in phon, that is, the loudness level value that is exceeded during a cumulated 5 % of the signal duration.
Pin 5 output_L10 double L10 indicator in phon, that is, the loudness level value that is exceeded during a cumulated 10 % of the signal duration.

Configurations

Name Expected type(s) Default value Description
mutex bool false If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.
