About sound waves

[Sound wave]
A sound wave is a "wave that propagates around an object that emits sound when it vibrates."

The frequency that can be heard by human ears is said to be about 20Hz to 20kHz,
Ultrasonic waves are high-frequency sound waves exceeding 20 KHz that cannot be heard by the human ear.
Conversely, sound waves with frequencies below 20 Hz that cannot be heard by the human ear are called low frequencies.

In a broad sense, "sound waves that cannot be heard directly by the human ear"
In order to use ultrasonic waves, low-frequency sound waves may be included in the ultrasonic waves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Sound speed]
The speed of sound is the speed of sound traveling through matter.

Since sound is transmitted by vibration of the substance itself, the speed of sound varies depending on the type of substance.
Also, no sound is transmitted in a vacuum state where there is no vibrating object.

The types of substances are roughly divided into solid, liquid, and gas.
Even with the same substance, a substance having a smaller molecular weight tends to have a higher speed.

Also, the speed of sound is independent of the frequency of sound, and there is no difference in speed between 20Hz and 20000Hz.

[Material and speed]
The speed of sound also changes depending on the state of the material, humidity, pressure, etc.
It is easily attenuated in gas, but is transmitted efficiently in liquids and solids.

Propagation speed
Material Temperature ? Density Speed ??m / sec
Air 20 1.204 343

Lead-11300 1960

Helium transmits sound faster than air
When you inhale and talk to helium, you hear a high key voice.
(This is called the Donald Duck effect.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Reflection]
Sound waves reflect in the same way as light.

The value of "density ? x sound velocity v" of a substance is called acoustic impedance,
Sound cannot be transmitted through substances whose acoustic impedance values ??differ greatly,
The reflected component increases.

If you try to listen to the sound waves emitted from the air toward the water in the water,
Because the acoustic impedance values ??of air and water are very different,
Sound waves are reflected from the surface of the water and are hardly transmitted into the water.

Because it is attenuated even if it passes without being reflected on the water surface,
The sound waves will be very small.

Propagation speed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[diffraction]
Sound waves diffract in the same way as light.

Diffraction is a phenomenon in which sound waves travel around behind obstacles.
(Sounds can be heard even when hidden behind a building)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Directivity]
Sound waves are diffused and attenuated.

This characteristic is related to the frequency.
Directivity improves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Sound pressure]
The pressure fluctuation of the atmospheric pressure when sound waves are generated is called sound pressure,
The physical loudness of the sound is expressed in Pascal (Pa).
Also, a decibel (unit: dB) obtained by multiplying the number of digits by 20 is used.

Estimated sound pressure
Sound pressure level of main sound Sound pressure Pa Sound pressure level dB
Minimum audible sound 0.00002 0
Whispering voice (1m) 0.0002 20
Conversation (1m) 0.02 60
Phone bell 0.2 80
Inside the subway train 0.5 90
Near the engine of the airplane (50m) 20 120

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Difference between sound waves and radio waves (electromagnetic waves)]
Radio waves are included in electromagnetic waves and are different from sound waves.

Sound waves cannot be transmitted in a vacuum (no substance), but radio waves can also be transmitted in a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified as follows according to the level of frequency (wavelength).
(Those with low frequencies are called radio waves.)

Electric wave <Microwave <Infrared <Visible light <Ultraviolet

When you say "high frequency, low frequency" to sound waves
If you say "high frequency, low frequency" with respect to electromagnetic waves,
It points to something completely different.

FAQ

[Q]
When analyzing 44KHz WAV files, only 22KHz is displayed.

[A]
To restore the recorded (A / D converted) analog signal,
If you need to sample at least twice the maximum frequency bandwidth
It is said by Shannon's theorem.

This restores files sampled at 44KHz to 22KHz,
If sampling at 96KHz, the range up to 48KHz can be restored.

It is generally said that the frequency range between 20 and 20000 Hz is human-viewable,
Music CDs recorded at 44KHz higher than 40KHz are for 20KHz
It seems to be a measure against high frequency noise generated near the margin and limit.

* There are individual differences, and some people can hear up to 24000 Hz.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
There is no frequency component higher than 24KHz even though the file was recorded at 96KHz.

[A]
I think the following two are possible.

No frequency component higher than 24KHz existed during recording.
Recording was not possible due to the performance limitations of the hardware used for recording (including the microphone).

* Confirm development machine
Microphone I connected a microphone to the PC, recorded 96KHz with VIA HD Input, and tried analysis.
frequency There was no frequency component above 24KHz. (It was equivalent to 48KHz recording.)
This does not support hardware, but it supports 96KHz recording with driver,
48It is presumed to be the result of 48KHz ? 96KHz conversion by the driver.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
Even if the same MP3 is analyzed by a file decoded by different software, the result will be different.

[A]
MP3 is lossy compression, so different decoding software is used.
Errors may occur due to differences in the decoding engine and the analysis results may be different.
(Even if the software is different, the result will be the same if the decoding engine is the same.)

It is recommended to use the same software (same version) if you value analysis results.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
WAV files decoded from MP3 etc. have reduced high frequency components.

[A]
When encoding with the 128kbps bit rate setting commonly used for MP3, the encoder
In order to lower the bit rate, it is common to skip the frequency band above 16KHz.
(It depends on the encoder and settings.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
When MP3 is analyzed, a WAV file with the file name of the date is created.

[A]
When analyzing audio compressed files such as MP3, decode the
Saved as a WAV file.
(The file name is determined from the work start time, and it becomes 201201231951.wav.)

The work file is deleted when the analysis ends, but it could not be completed normally
In that case the working file is not deleted.
* Access violation and forced termination by Task Manager.

If there are multiple working files, delete them manually.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
Do you use a registry?

[A]
I do not use it at all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q]
How do I uninstall?

[A]
Since the registry is not used, just deleting the file is OK.

The one for Foobar is called Enhanced Spectrum Analyzer, and visualizes in real time. Colors can be changed. No bugs, pretty cool

[Uncle Sam´s Army]

My preferred soundcard from RME is great for audio measurements (there Digicheck Software is outstanding) , in combination with for example WaveLab (has a FFT on board) you have a very good tool for audio editing/measurement.

[Five]

I used to always use the one in cep/audition. when fixing glitchy stuff I start with spectral then use the fa and hover over it to find more exact frequency values.

the one in audacity is not so good... lol. doesn't run live, you just give it a smallish sample and it makes a graph. it is much better than nothing!

pawel it seems that all roads lead to foobar2000...

[pawel]

Yup, I use Foobar to stream through WiFi to DAC.

Nowadays it is much easier to shape the sound in live mode, the sound from the can always.
Don't say anything against Foobar , it is one of the few HiFi-compatible players under Windows, so you can directly address the corresponding sound drivers. Foobar plays almost all valid audio formats, also SACD, DVDA.

only one thing bad about foobar2000 it looks like a skeleton with words and numbers inside.

not one other bad thing to say, ever so far!

I was probably pondering about the old/new times ; that was probably related to the live operation. That's sometimes easy nowadays because the parameters of different venues are known, so you just choose "Carnegie Hall" for your band and that's it.
