Abstract: Benford’s law defines a peculiar distribution of the leading digits of a set of numbers. The behavior is logarithmic, with the leading digit 1 reflecting largest probability of occurrence and the remaining ones showing decreasing probabilities of appearance following a logarithmic trend. Many discussions have been carried out about the application of Benford’s law to many different fields. In this paper, a novel exploitation of Benford’s law for the analysis of audio signals is proposed. Three new audio features based on the evaluation of the degree of agreement of a certain audio dataset to Benford’s law are presented. These new proposed features are succesfully tested in two concrete audio tasks: the detection of artificially assembled chords and the estimation of the quality of the MIDI conversions.
