Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of frequency masking on the perception of phonemes in the American English Language through subjective tests and quantitative analysis where long vowels and specific consonants were perceived better in spite of the presence of white Gaussian noise at higher dB levels than that of the speech. This may help in the analysis of automatic speech recognition in the presence of noise.
