2. Octave band - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_band

   An octave band is a frequency band that spans one octave (Play ⓘ).In this context an octave can be a factor of 2 [1] [full citation needed] or a factor of 10 0.301. [2] [full citation needed] [3] [full citation needed] An octave of 1200 cents in musical pitch (a logarithmic unit) corresponds to a frequency ratio of ⁠ 2 / 1 ⁠ ≈ 10 0.301.

3. One-third octave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-third_octave

   A one-third octave is a logarithmic unit of frequency ratio equal to either one third of an octave (1200/3 = 400 cents: major third) or one tenth of a decade (3986.31/10 = 398.631 cents: M3 Play ⓘ). [1] An alternative (unambiguous) term for one tenth of a decade is a decidecade. [2] [3]

4. Octave (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_(electronics)

   For example, the frequency one octave above 40 Hz is 80 Hz. The term is derived from the Western musical scale where an octave is a doubling in frequency. [note 1] Specification in terms of octaves is therefore common in audio electronics. Along with the decade, it is a unit used to describe frequency bands or frequency ratios. [1] [2]

5. Scientific pitch notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation

   Scientific pitch notation is often used to specify the range of an instrument. It provides an unambiguous means of identifying a note in terms of textual notation rather than frequency, while at the same time avoiding the transposition conventions that are used in writing the music for instruments such as the clarinet and guitar.

6. Equalization (audio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio)

   Stereo 31-band 1/3-octave graphic equalizer for use in sound reinforcement applications. In the graphic equalizer, the input signal is sent to a bank of filters. Each filter passes the portion of the signal present in its own frequency range or band. The amplitude passed by each filter is adjusted using a slide control to boost or cut frequency ...

7. A-weighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

   A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level. [1]

8. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

   Below is a comparison between the first 31 harmonics and the intervals of 12-tone equal temperament (12TET), octave displaced and compressed into the span of one octave. Tinted fields highlight differences greater than 5 cents ( 1 ⁄ 20 of a semitone), which is the human ear's " just noticeable difference " for notes played one after the other ...

9. Speech transmission index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_transmission_index

   Speech Transmission Index (STI) is a measure of speech transmission quality. The absolute measurement of speech intelligibility is a complex science. The STI measures some physical characteristics of a transmission channel (a room, electro-acoustic equipment, telephone line, etc.), and expresses the ability of the channel to carry across the characteristics of a speech signal.
