The lead currently says, This compensation effect results in a reduction in the auditory signal-to-noise ratio of the speaker’s spoken words. It should actually be an increase rather than a reduction, shouldn't it? Or do I misunderstand the sentence? Looie496 (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed this. Signal-to-noise ratio says:

The higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise is.

So I guess it should be an increase. GregorB (talk) 18:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The caption talks about shifts in song frequency in response to noise in this species, not an increase in vocal effort or amplitude (i.e the Lombard effect). However, other species are known to exhibit the Lombard effect in noise. For example, nightingales ^{[1] [2]} or zebra finches ^{[3] [4]}. Could I suggest changing the picture to something more relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weidenmeise (talk • contribs) 11:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
