Gated-noise maskers produce more masking of a tone burst than do continuous-noise maskers. The difference between the two conditions appears to increase at short signal durations with a maximum difference at about 1000 Hz. The size of the effect is generally small, 1--3 dB, reaching a maximum of 4--7 dB for 1000 Hz at 10 msec and high masker levels.
