It is known that the roughness is one of the most important metrics in assessing the sound quality. In this study, a new roughness model is suggested by combing the previous auditory filter model and several signal processing methods for the enhancement of calculation efficiency and accuracy. For testing the usefulness of the present model, the predicted responses are compared with the experimental data and it is observed that they are in good agreements. Also, it is found that the previous models have limitations to search frequency components mainly contributed to overall roughness. By modifying the correlation criteria of the present model, the revised model for the proper estimation of roughness-contributed components is embedded.
