The distortion detection of loudspeakers has been researched for a very long time. Researchers are committed to finding an objective way to detect Rub and Buzz (R&B) in loudspeakers that is in line with human ear feelings. This paper applies the psychoacoustics to distortion detection of loudspeakers and describes a new method to detect the R&B based on the psychoacoustic sharpness. Experiments show, comparing with existing objective detection methods of R&B, detection results based on the proposed method are more consistent with subjective judgments.
