Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed.

The example method also includes generating a first confidence value from the first audio segment and a second confidence value from the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment. The example method includes determining an impact of the presence of the first audio source on audience ratings associated with the monitored audio based on the first confidence value, the first quantity of audience members, the second confidence value and the second quantity of audience members to determine.
