The effects of speech alternation are illustrated with audio examples
below. You will need headphones or a
pair of spatially separated loudspeakers. The first example is of a
male voice saying "The watchdog gave a
warning growl." This is followed by several processed versions in which
50% of the speech waveform is
alternately played to the left and right channels. The audio examples
illustrate alternation rates of
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 Hz. The figure shows the
waveform of the sentence processed
with a 2-Hz interruption rate.
