Good idea, but I'm afraid that doing only this it would still miss: *very short tones (less than 3 granules long) *tones rapidly changing of freqs (sweeps) But yes, doing forward and backward prediction is a good idea. Well.. there are several alternative methods, check out the method

E. Zwicker: psychoacoustics, facts and models. Let me elaborate just a little on this tonality estimation. First of all, why do we need tonality estimation? We need it because a non-tonal sound generates more masking than a tonal one, and thus we need this estimation to compute the ammount of
