Perceptual coding is accomplished by measuring the envelope roughness of the filtered audio signal, which may be directly converted to the noise to mask threshold needed to calculate the perceptual threshold or "just noticeable difference". Thus, the present invention does not require any complex calculations to determine tonality, either by a measure of predictability or by the calculation of a loudness or loudness uncertainty. Instead, the envelope roughness of the signal is simply reduced directly to the noise to mask ratio.
