These sound examples come from the voiced speech extraction system developed by Guy Brown at Sheffield University, and described in his 1992 Ph.D. these, "Computational Auditory Scene Analysis: A Representational Approach". In appendix A, he narrates a series of sound examples which were originally available on tape; I digitized the tape to make them available on the net. Guy's home page is here.
