The present studies examined the binaural masking level difference (MLD) for off-frequency masking. It has been shown previously that the MLD decreases steeply with increasing spectral separation between a pure tone signal and a 10-Hz wide band of masking noise. Data collected here show that this reduction in the off-frequency MLD as a function of signal/masker separation is comparable at 250 and 2500 Hz, indicating that neither interaural phase cues nor frequency resolution are critical to this finding. The MLD decreases more gradually with spectral separation when the masker is a 250-Hz-wide band of noise, a result that implicates the rate of inherent amplitude modulation of the masker. Thresholds were also measured for a brief signal presented coincident with a local masker modulation minimum or maximum. Sensitivity was better in the minima for all NoSpi and off-frequency NoSo conditions, with little or no effect of signal position for on-frequency NoSo conditions. Taken together, the present results indicate that the steep reduction in the off-frequency MLD for a narrowband noise masker is due at least in part to envelope cues in the NoSo conditions. There was no evidence of a reduction in binaural cue quality for off-frequency masking.
