  2. Scientific pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch

    Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C 4) being set to 256 Hz rather than approximately 261.63 Hz, [1] making it approximately 31.77 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard.

  3. Vibroacoustic therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibroacoustic_Therapy

    Human mechanoreceptors, such as Pacinian corpuscles, can detect vibrations up to 1,000 Hz, frequencies between 30 Hz and 120 Hz are generally considered to have a calming and relaxing effect, which is why they are often used in therapeutic contexts.40 Hz specifically, has been widely studied in vibroacoustic therapy and other fields due to its ...

    The sound appears to pulsate only when heard through both earphones. Time duration of 10 seconds Binaural Beats Base tone 200 Hz, beat frequency from 7 Hz to 12.9 Hz. Time duration of 9 minutes. "Binaural beats were first discovered by physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839.

  6. Bark scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_scale

    A440 Play ⓘ. 440 Hz = 4.21 or 4.39. The Bark scale is a psychoacoustical scale proposed by Eberhard Zwicker in 1961. It is named after Heinrich Barkhausen, who proposed the first subjective measurements of loudness. [1] One definition of the term is "a frequency scale on which equal distances correspond with perceptually equal distances.

  7. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

    The ultrasound within tissue consists of very high frequency sound waves, between 800,000 Hz and 20,000,000 Hz, which cannot be heard by humans. Some of the advantages of ultrasound as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool include its safety profile, lack of radiation, portability, and low cost. [ 4 ]

  8. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    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.

  9. SMPTE timecode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_timecode

    With a 30 Hz frame rate the line scan frequency is (30 × 525) = 15750 Hz. So the subcarrier frequency would have been ⁠ 495 / 2 ⁠ × 15750 = 3.898125 MHz. This was the subcarrier frequency originally chosen, but tests showed that on some monochrome receivers an interference pattern caused by the beat between the color subcarrier and the 4. ...
