摘要:
By use of a high‐power, corona type loudspeaker we have been able to demonstrate behavioral and endocrine responses of laboratory rodents to measured high sound‐pressure levels at the frequencies at which their hearing is most sensitive, namely, 10 to 40 kc. The corona type loudspeaker behaves in the fashion predicted by the theoretical analysis reviewed in this paper. It is limited by extremely low efficiency (2.5%) and high production of ozone. At high frequencies it is limited by the volume of the corona, and at low frequencies by the failure of the quasi‐adiabatic condition within the corona. Despite these limitations its performance has not been equaled by other types of loudspeakers; it is a unique tool for studying the responses of laboratory rodents to sound fields.
