Article: The Evolution of Production Line Rub & Buzz measurements
A detailed article from AudioXpress that discusses production line Rub & Buzz measurements from 1995 to the current day. It covers everything from the earliest conventional algorithms to the development of our newest perceptual metrics, explaining how the metrics complement each other for end-of line tests.

Hear It
Check out how our ePRB algorithm correlates with your hearing with our listening test!
Here are three recordings of speakers with varying levels of distortion, and one reference recording of a speaker with little to no distortion. Listen to each file, submit your answers, and see how the SoundCheck algorithm compares to your ears.
Just a couple of things to note:
- This is a recording which will be played through the device you are using. Any distortion introduced by your device will affect your perception, so we recommend using good quality speakers or headphones.
- Rub & buzz defects are hard for the untrained ear to detect compared to, say, an incorrect frequency response – some people may not be able to hear the distortion at all.

Your Results
Here’s how what you heard compares to both the new enhanced Perceptual Rub & Buzz and conventional normalized Rub & Buzz.
Speaker 1
ePRB heard: Sounds Good
Speaker 2
ePRB heard: Badly Distorted
Speaker 3
ePRB heard: Borderline Distortion
Try It
If you already have SoundCheck 20, you already have access to this innovative algorithm at no extra cost! Simply download our free ePRB demo sequence and try it out. This pre-written sequence will walk you through the process of measuring and analyzing your speakers, so all you need to do is grab some speakers, run the sequence and compare the SoundCheck results to what you hear (or documented subjective analyses).
If you don’t have SoundCheck, or haven’t yet upgraded to the latest version, we can still find a way for you to evaluate this algorithm. Typically we would either send you a demo SoundCheck license, or you would send either your speakers or recorded waveforms to us for evaluation. Please contact your local sales engineer or email sales@listeninc.com do discuss your options.
