Digital radio uses the of advantages of human hearing. The human ear does not
perceive sounds that are below a certain minimum level. Data which are under the

for other units. In addition in a sound signal, the quieter portions are overlapped by
the louder for a given threshold. All the sound information in a piece of music that are
