Abstract<br />
<strong>Loudspeaker</strong> defects caused by manufacturing, aging, overload or climate<br />
impact generate special kind of irregular distortion commonly known as<br />
rub & buzz which are highly audible <strong>and</strong> intolerable for the human ear.<br />
Contrary to regular loudspeaker distortions defined in the design process<br />
the irregular distortions are hardly predictable <strong>and</strong> are generated by an<br />
independent process triggered by the input signal. Traditional distortion<br />
measurements such as THD fail in the reliable detection of those defects.<br />
The Tutorial discusses the most important defect classes, new<br />
measurement techniques, audibility <strong>and</strong> the impact on perceived sound<br />
quality.<br />
