N2 - This paper proposes a new quantitative approach to the problem of matching a wavelet function to a human auditory tuning curves. The auditory filter shapes were derived from the psychophysical measurements in normalhearing listeners using the variant of the notched-noise method for brief signals in forward and simultaneous masking. These filters were used as templates for the designing a wavelet function that has the maximum matching to a tuning curve. The scaling function was calculated from the matched wavelet function and by using these functions, low pass and high pass filters were derived for the implementation of a filter bank. Therefore, new wavelet families were derived.
