Harmonic Frontier Audio - Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts (Preview Pack v0.9)

Harmonic Frontier Audio -- Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts (Preview, v0.9) A high-fidelity human vocal dataset designed for AI training, speech research, and articulation-aware voice modeling. Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts (Preview), created by Harmonic Frontier Audio, provides a compact reference set demonstrating the quality, formatting, and metadata conventions used in the Harmonic Frontier Audio Human Vocality Primitives series. 🔎 Summary This dataset provides high-quality, rights-cleared recordings of plosive articulations and short-duration non-lexical consonant burst gestures --- discrete vocal events produced through controlled vocal tract closure and rapid release. The recordings emphasize: - articulatory closure and release - transient airflow dynamics - burst intensity and envelope shape - non-linguistic consonant gestures These characteristics make the dataset valuable for AI speech and voice modeling, phonetics research, articulation-aware synthesis, onset modeling, and human-aligned vocal control systems. Developed by Harmonic Frontier Audio, this preview follows The Proteus Standard™ for dataset provenance, transparency, and ethical AI use.Learn more about the Proteus Standard → https://harmonicfrontieraudio.com/proteus-standard Full dataset details and licensing information are available at:https://harmonicfrontieraudio.com/datasets/plosives-non-lexical-consonant-bursts If you find this dataset useful, please consider giving it a 🤍 on Hugging Face to help others discover it. 🫁 About Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts Plosives are produced by complete or near-complete closure of the vocal tract followed by a controlled release of air pressure, resulting in a short, high-energy acoustic burst.Non-lexical consonant bursts refer to similar transient gestures produced without linguistic intent or semantic content. These vocal behaviors are foundational to: - speech articulation and onset modeling - expressive and controllable voice synthesis - articulation-aware AI systems - phonetic and physiological research This dataset presents a neutral, non-linguistic, non-performative representation of plosive and consonant burst gestures.It is not designed to encode semantic speech content, but rather to isolate gesture-level acoustic primitives underlying consonant articulation. 📂 Contents Audio Files (.wav) Recorded at 96 kHz / 24-bit WAV format\ Exported as mono\ Fade-ins and fade-outs of 3--5 ms applied for consistency\ No compression, normalization, or creative processing applied\ High-pass filtered at ~60 Hz to reduce proximity effect and subsonic rumble This preview includes 3 representative audio files, selected to demonstrate: - clean pulmonic egressive plosive articulation - contrasting non-lexical consonant burst gestures - variation in burst intensity and release character Metadata (.csv) Includes structured fields for: - file name - sound source type - airflow type - phonation type - gesture and articulation descriptors - microphone and recording chain - sample rate, bit depth, and dataset version Metadata follows the Harmonic Frontier Audio -- Foundations schema and is a strict subset of the full production metadata. 🎤 Recording Notes Recorded in a treated studio environment using a single-mic setup: Microphone: RØDE NT1-A condenser microphone Recording chain: RØDE NT1-A → Zoom F8n Pro Captured at 96 kHz / 32-bit float, rendered as 96 kHz / 24-bit mono WAV for release. Natural transient dynamics were preserved to maintain articulatory realism ⚡ Usage This preview pack is designed for: Evaluation of Harmonic Frontier Audio dataset quality and structure\ Testing AI systems that model consonant articulation and onset behavior\ Research in phonetics, speech production, and expressive voice modeling\ Creative sound design involving transient vocal gestures 👉 Note: This is not a full dataset.The complete Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts dataset includes a broader and more balanced articulatory inventory and is available for licensing. 💡 Full Dataset Availability This is a preview pack of the Plosives and Non-Lexical Consonant Bursts Dataset.The complete dataset is available for commercial licensing.
