The current view of timbre as a simultaneous fusion of pitches or as dependent upon wave-form has been tested and found satisfactory, but recent experiments would also authorize a structural distinction from a successive tonal fusion, or sonance, found to be present in tonal perceptions. Examples of sonance are found in the voice vibrato, where there is present, over and above the various partials, a recurrent increase and decrease of pitch and intensity of all partials at a rate of about seven times per second, with a fundamental pitch extent of one half a tone on the average. Sound waves were photographed and successive changes graphed. Synthetic tones were produced by means of sirens and observers were asked to report on their timbre; although the timbre as defined by several authorities was the same for the tones, all decided that what they heard and named as timbre was different in each case. Trained observers are thus able to distinguish between timbre (simultaneous fusion) and sonance (successive fusion). Successive tonal syntheses may contain (1) certain constants in perception such as vowel quality or personal voice traits, and (2) variables, exemplified by the vibrato and other periodicities in singing, and intonation types in speech.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
