Abstract
Virtual spatial audio often utilizes the inverse-square law to model
the relationship between intensity and distance for sources in the
far-field. The present study explores the potential advantages of an
“inverse-Nth” law, where N is greater than two, for dense, noisy
environments where sources are distributed over a wide range of
distances, or potentially sparse environments where the distance
varies little. The findings of the study show significantly improved
listener search and recall performance, without affecting sound
search time, when using an inverse-8th law.
