  3. List of unexplained sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds

    The name was given because the sound slowly decreases in frequency over about seven minutes. It was recorded using an autonomous hydrophone array. [8] The sound has been picked up several times each year since 1997. [9] One of the hypotheses on the origin of the sound is moving ice in Antarctica. Sound spectrograms of vibrations caused by ...

  4. Physics of whistles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

    Human whistle sound. The number and variety of whistles created by humans is quite large, yet very little study has been done on human whistling from a physics perspective. There are three possible mechanisms: Helmholtz resonance, symmetric hole tone operation (monopole), or asymmetric edge tone operation (dipole).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_whistle

    The Deutsche Reichsbahn of Germany introduced another whistle design in the 1920s called "Einheitspfeife", conceived as a single-note plain whistle which already had a very deep-pitched and loud sound, but if the whistle trigger is just pulled down half of its way an even lower tone like from a chime-whistle could also be caused. This whistle ...

  6. Sound quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_quality

    Quality can be measured objectively, such as when tools are used to gauge the accuracy with which the device reproduces an original sound; or it can be measured subjectively, such as when human listeners respond to the sound or gauge its perceived similarity to another sound. [1] The sound quality of a reproduction or recording depends on a ...

    It has a characteristic high-pitched, highly perceptible hissing sound. For this reason, it is often used to get someone's attention, using a call often written as sssst! or psssst! . The voiceless alveolar sibilant [s] is one of the most common sounds cross-linguistically.

  8. Audio bit depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth

    However, techniques such as dithering, noise shaping, and oversampling can mitigate these effects without changing the bit depth. Bit depth also affects bit rate and file size. Bit depth is useful for describing PCM digital signals. Non-PCM formats, such as those using lossy compression, do not have associated bit depths. [a]

  9. High-resolution audio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio

    High-resolution audio (high-definition audio or HD audio) is a term for audio files with greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate or higher than 16-bit audio bit depth. It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates. However, 44.1 kHz/24-bit, 48 kHz/24-bit and 88.2 kHz/24-bit recordings also exist that are labeled HD audio.
