Vocal changes in animals during disorders

Abstract

Welchen Einfluß hat eine Erkrankung der lautgenerierenden Strukturen auf das Lautprodukt. Wie kann eine Stimmveränderung beschrieben werden? Diese Fragen waren zentrales Thema der Untersuchungen. Es wurde ausschließlich auf Senderseite gearbeitet und das akustische Signal und sein Generierungsmechanismus betrachtet. Zunächst wurden nichtlineare Phänomene in drei Fallstudien betrachtet. Nichtlineare Phänomene sind akustische Ereignisse, die auf ein besonderes Schwingungsverhalten der Stimmlippen zurückzuführen sind. In allen drei Fällen kamen nichtlineare Phänomene am häufigsten bei dem erkrankten Tier vor. In einer weiteren Untersuchung wurde der Harmonischen-Rausch-Abstand auf Hundebellen angewendet. Dieser akustische Parameter wurde bisher noch nicht in der Bioakustik verwendet. Normal klingende Hunde scheinen einen mittleren HNR Bereich einzunehmen, während Hunde mit Dysphonie außerhalb dieses Bereiches liegen. Außerdem wurden Untersuchungen zur Anatomie der Stimmlippen und des Vokaltraktes durchgeführt, um bestimmte Aspekte der laryngealen Stimmgenerierung zu verstehen. Diese Dissertation enthält WAVE-Datein, welche hier heruntergeladen werden können: Attached Audiofiles.

If the sender's physiology or merely the sound generating apparatus is affected by a disease, what impact on voice does it have? How can this vocal change be described? Those questions were the central issue in this work, consequently this work is focussed on the sender's side - the acoustic signal and the mechanism of sound production. First nonlinear phonemena, acoustic events arising from certain vibration patterns of the vocal folds were investigated in three case studies. In all three cases the amount of nonlinear phenomena was higher in the disordered animal. Second, the harmonic-to-noise-ratio (HNR), an acoustic parameter not yet used in animal bioacoustics, was applied to dog barks to quantify dysphonia. Normal sounding dogs occupy a middle HNR range, while dysphonic dogs exceed this range to higher as well as to lower HNR values. Additionally, certain aspects of the vocal fold and vocal tract anatomy were investigated in respect to their significance for laryngeal sound generation.
