  2. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    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, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of 17 metres (56 ft) to 1.7

  4. Mel scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_scale

    As Ganchev et al. have observed, "The formulae [with 700], when compared to [Fant's with 1000], provide a closer approximation of the Mel scale for frequencies below 1000 Hz, at the price of higher inaccuracy for frequencies higher than 1000 Hz." [12] Above 7 kHz, however, the situation is reversed, and the 700 Hz version again fits better.

  6. Reference tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_tone

    In telecommunication, a standard test tone is a pure tone with a standardized level generally used for level alignment of single links and of links in tandem. [1]For standardized test signal levels and frequencies, see MIL-STD-188-100 for United States Department of Defense (DOD) use, and the Code of Federal Regulations Title 47, part 68 for other Government agencies.

  7. Undertone series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undertone_series

    Undertone series on C. [1] In music, the undertone series or subharmonic series is a sequence of notes that results from inverting the intervals of the overtone series.While overtones naturally occur with the physical production of music on instruments, undertones must be produced in unusual ways.

    The bandwidth provided by the 44,100 Hz sampling frequency used by the standard for audio CDs is sufficiently wide to cover the entire human hearing range, which roughly extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. [ 2 ] : 108 Professional digital recorders may record higher frequencies, while some consumer and telecommunications systems record a more ...

  9. Audio signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 .
