复杂音调的音高辨别比纯音更好，但自然声音和人造声音之间的音高辨别有何不同尚不完全清楚。这项研究将平谱和声复杂音调的音高辨别阈值与三种不同音色的乐器（小提琴、小号和长笛）演奏的自然声音的音高辨别阈值进行了比较。为了调查对特定音色声音的自然熟悉是否会影响音高辨别阈值，这项研究招募了非音乐家和接受过三种乐器之一训练的音乐家。我们发现，与日常生活中经常听到的乐器演奏的声音（尤其是演奏这些乐器的音乐家）相比，长笛手和小号手可以区分人工平谱音调的较小音调差异，尽管它们的音色不熟悉。此外，音乐家受过训练演奏的乐器的阈值并不比其他乐器更好，这表明即使是聆听和产生特定音色的丰富经验也不能可靠地提高这些音色的音高辨别阈值。结果表明，音色熟悉度对听觉敏锐度的改善微乎其微，而物理声学（例如，等幅谐波的存在）比自然声音和音色特定训练的经验更能确定音高辨别阈值。
Pitch discrimination is better for complex tones than pure tones, but how pitch discrimination differs between natural and artificial sounds is not fully understood. This study compared pitch discrimination thresholds for flat-spectrum harmonic complex tones with those for natural sounds played by musical instruments of three different timbres (violin, trumpet, and flute). To investigate whether natural familiarity with sounds of particular timbres affects pitch discrimination thresholds, this study recruited non-musicians and musicians who were trained on one of the three instruments. We found that flautists and trumpeters could discriminate smaller differences in pitch for artificial flat-spectrum tones, despite their unfamiliar timbre, than for sounds played by musical instruments, which are regularly heard in everyday life (particularly by musicians who play those instruments). Furthermore, thresholds were no better for the instrument a musician was trained to play than for other instruments, suggesting that even extensive experience listening to and producing sounds of particular timbres does not reliably improve pitch discrimination thresholds for those timbres. The results show that timbre familiarity provides minimal improvements to auditory acuity, and physical acoustics (e.g., the presence of equal-amplitude harmonics) determine pitch discrimination thresholds more than does experience with natural sounds and timbre-specific training.
