Talk:Lombard effect

A fact from Lombard effect appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 May 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1909 Étienne Lombard found that people automatically adjust their voice in noise to keep it audible, a finding known as the Lombard effect?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/May.

Error in lead?

The lead currently says, This compensation effect results in a reduction in the auditory signal-to-noise ratio of the speaker’s spoken words. It should actually be an increase rather than a reduction, shouldn't it? Or do I misunderstand the sentence? Looie496 (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed this. Signal-to-noise ratio says:

The higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise is.

So I guess it should be an increase. GregorB (talk) 18:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LittleHow already fixed it. Looie496 (talk) 19:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article Assessment for WikiProject Medicine

Hello. I am a member of WikiProject Medicine, a Wikipedia wide project that maintains and improves articles that fall under the scope of medicine. Since your article has fallen under our scope, I have placed the correct template(s) on this talk page for verification. Upon reviewed of the article, I'd like to make a few points, as shown below:

Assess article with class and importance factors

I'm glad this article could fall within our scope, and I hope to see it grow large! Many thanks! Renaissancee (talk) 22:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a picture of a great tit in this article?

The caption talks about shifts in song frequency in response to noise in this species, not an increase in vocal effort or amplitude (i.e the Lombard effect). However, other species are known to exhibit the Lombard effect in noise. For example, nightingales ^[1] ^[2] or zebra finches ^[3] ^[4]. Could I suggest changing the picture to something more relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weidenmeise (talk • contribs) 11:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
