  2. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    t. e. An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz. [2][3][4] In air at atmospheric pressure ...

  3. Audio signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_signal

    Audio signal. An audio signal is a representation of sound, typically using either a changing level of electrical voltage for analog signals, or a series of binary numbers for digital signals. Audio signals have frequencies in the audio frequency range of roughly 20 to 20,000 Hz, which corresponds to the lower and upper limits of human hearing.

  4. Hearing range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

    The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz. [6][7][note 1] Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz [8] and as high as 28 kHz, though the threshold increases sharply at 15 kHz in adults, corresponding to the last auditory channel of the cochlea. [9] The human auditory system is most sensitive ...

  5. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

    The frequency range often specified for audio components is between 20 Hz to 20 kHz, which broadly reflects the human hearing range (the highest audible frequency for most people is less than 20 kHz, with 16 kHz being more typical [4]). Components with 'flat' frequency responses are often described as being linear.

  6. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Only acoustic waves that have frequencies lying between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz, the audio frequency range, elicit an auditory percept in humans. In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 centimeters (0.67 in). Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to ...

  7. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    Piano key frequencies. This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [1][2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones.

  8. Voice frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_frequency

    20–20,000. A voice frequency (VF) or voice band is the range of audio frequencies used for the transmission of speech. frequency is the amount of wave repentance by time that is the reason we have the formula = F= #of waves divided by time. thanks a lot ''. by jojo.

  9. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    It is approximately the quietest sound a young human with undamaged hearing can detect at 1 kHz. [4] The threshold of hearing is frequency-dependent and it has been shown that the ear's sensitivity is best at frequencies between 2 kHz and 5 kHz, [5] where the threshold reaches as low as −9 dB SPL.
