  2. Mains hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum

    Mains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity.The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60 Hz, i.e., 100/120 Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency.

  3. 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] ... 60 261.625 Middle C: 72 523.25 C in middle of treble clef: 84

  4. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

    The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    A pendulum with a period of 2.8 s and a frequency of 0.36 Hz. For cyclical phenomena such as oscillations, waves, or for examples of simple harmonic motion, the term frequency is defined as the number of cycles or repetitions per unit of time.

  8. Hearing range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

    Measured with a 60 dB SPL signal, the hearing range for the Senegal bushbaby is 92 Hz–65 kHz, and 67 Hz–58 kHz for the ring-tailed lemur. Of 19 primates tested, the Japanese macaque had the widest range, 28 Hz–34.5 kHz, compared with 31 Hz–17.6 kHz for humans. [17]

  9. The Hum - Wikipedia

    The first was a 36 Hz tone from a cooling tower at the local DaimlerChrysler casting plant and the second was a 10 Hz tone from an air compressor intake at the Haynes International plant. [21] After those devices were corrected, however, reports of the hum persisted. [22] Three hums have been linked to mechanical sources.
