Tonal components and tone adjustment (DIN 45681)
German method that detects tonal components in noise from narrow-band spectra and derives a tone adjustment for the assessment of noise immissions. DIN 45681:2005, corrected by Berichtigung 2:2006-08 (which replaced Berichtigung 1:2005-08), is current.
The current edition is DIN 45681:2005. No open-source implementation of it has been found.
Earlier editions or related models: ITA-Toolbox (MATLAB; E DIN 45681:2002-11; maximum tonal audibility and its frequency).

Implementations
| Project | Edition | Functions | Validation (as stated) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ITA-Toolbox MATLAB | E DIN 45681:2002-11 maximum tonal audibility and its frequency | ita_tonality | not stated | The header cites "DIN 45681 (2002)", the draft that preceded DIN 45681:2005. A code comment says that no A-weighting is applied. |
Projects in bold and other established projects come first, then newly released, developing and legacy ones. Validation is what each project says about its own testing. The details are below, and the kinds of evidence are explained on the About page.
See also: Audibility of tones in noise (ISO/TS 20065).
How they were validated
As reported by each project; LISQM has not run the code. Two implementations that agree can still share the same error. Kinds of evidence.
None of these projects says how its code was validated.
