I think of certain quiet people I know as having high signal-to-noise. When they start to emit, I listen carefully, because my attention will be rewarded with lots of signal per unit time.
On a per sample basis it is very difficult to distinguish between signal and noise. So your lack of definition as to what 'per unit time' means leaves me very confused.
I like how this thread suddenly buzzes with science. ;-) Engineers doing some engineering, I guess.
Isn't it impossible to distinguish signal and noise on a per-sample basis, though? A sample has no context, only a frequency. By itself, it can be both - no?
