A method, system and computer readable medium for increasing the audio
perceptual loudness includes shifting at least one frequency of a first
audio signal to create a second audio signal so as to increase the audio
perceptual loudness. The power level of the second audio signal is not
more than a power level of the first audio signal. The method also
includes generating high-audio perceptual loudness tone alert sequences
based on psychoacoustic and audiometric data. It further includes
acquiring a listener's threshold audio profile; adding the listener's
audio profile to the loudness sensitivity curve for producing the
listener's tonal sensitivity curve; determining a required dB scaling for
critical band tones from the listener's tonal sensitivity curve;
normalizing the tonal sensitivity curve for creating a decibel curve;
selecting a frequency range of the tones by using the tonal sensitivity
curve; and spacing the sequence of tones along a critical band scale.
