Abstract

This application provides example psychoacoustics-based audio encoding methods and apparatuses. One example method includes receiving audio data. The audio data can be decoded. Auditory feature information of a user can be obtained, where the auditory feature information includes at least one of the following: personal information, listening test result information, or frequency response curve information. A psychoacoustics model parameter of the user can be calculated based on the auditory feature information of the user, where the psychoacoustics model parameter includes at least one of the following: an intra-band masking parameter, a slope of a low-frequency inter-band masking line, a slope of a high-frequency inter-band masking line, or a human ear quiet threshold curve. The decoded audio data can be encoded based on the psychoacoustics model parameter of the user.
