En psicoacústica, el umbral o nivel de enmascaramiento es el nivel de presión sonora (SPL) de un sonido de prueba necesario para que éste sea apenas audible en presencia de una señal enmascarante. Este nivel depende también en gran medida de la frecuencia y de las características del enmascarado y del enmascarador. El efecto aparece normalmente entre tonos muy cercanos en frecuencia. 1, record 1, Spanish, - umbral%20de%20enmascaramiento
