Therefore, it is not essential to the algorithm that there be a large number of bins. SED is a task to design systems to predict both the presence or absence of sound events in an audio clip as well as the onset and offset times of the sound. A clipping detection algorithm detects the presence of hard and soft clipping using histograms with intervals of samples, rather than attempting to identify the clipping value. The algorithm produces a perceptually weighted value of the level of distortion in an audio file. Methods and systems for detecting the presence and frequency of clipping in an audio signal are provided. Also available is a program which analyses an audio file and detects clipping type distortions with no reference to the clean audio.

This repository contains a database of raw perceptual response data from experiments carried out to quantify the level of degradation to quality when music and soundscapes are corrupted with amplitude distortions. The purpose of this tool is to enable the installer to set the gain of an audio amplifier to match the source units. For field recordings and user generated content recorded on phones, tablets and other mobile devices, nonlinear distortions caused by clipping and limiting at pre-amplification stages and dynamic range control (DRC), are common causes of poor audio quality. A collection of matlab function and classes for manipulating and analyze audio-files.
