Abstract
Disclosed is a method for increasing a perceived loudness of an audio data signal comprising the steps of obtaining a first digital audio data signal; determining at least one temporal amplitude peak in the first digital audio data signal; generating a second digital audio data signal by reducing the at least one temporal amplitude peak in the first digital audio data signal based on a predicted perceptual difference model representing a predicted perceptual difference between the first digital audio data signal and a peak reduced version of the first digital audio data signal; and generating a third digital audio data signal by amplifying the second digital audio data signal so that a peak of the second digital audio data signal has a predetermined signal value, wherein a perceived loudness of the third digital audio data signal is larger than a perceived loudness of the first digital audio data signal.
