Subjects exhibiting spontaneous acoustic emissions (SAEs) were presented with wideband noise in the ear contralateral to that in which their SAE was being recorded. The SAE magnitudes were monitored while the noise was incremented in 5-dB steps. Some SAE components were mar-

To determine if listeners can accurately distinguish between real and human-imitated animal sounds, a total of 165 recorded sounds (55 real and 110 human-imitated) of cats, cows, dogs, pigs, and sheep were randomly arranged on a master tape and presented to 30 listeners for discriminative judgments. Results indicate that, in general, listeners can accurately discriminate real from human-imitated animal sounds. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
