A spectrogram of Bloop. Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low-frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. The sound is consistent with the noises generated by icequakes in large icebergs, or large icebergs scraping the ocean floor. [3]
This mechanism could explain the Bloop's wide detection range and distinct acoustic signature. [7] As oceanographer Yunbo Xie explains, the alteration of waveforms from a detected sound "can also be caused by so-called angular frequency dependent radiation patterns associated with antisymmetric mode motion of the ice cover."

Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range.
In broadcast engineering, a frequency extender is an electronic device that expands the usable frequency range of POTS telephone lines. [1] It also allows high-fidelity analog audio to be sent over regular telephone lines, without the loss of lower audio frequencies . It is an extended concept of a telephone hybrid.
A home hi-fi loudspeaker system typically consists of two or more drivers, an electrical crossover network to divide the signal by frequency band and route them appropriately to the drivers, and an enclosure that all these components are mounted in. The impedance curve of such a system can be very complex, and the simple formula above does not ...
Windows Media Center Extenders (officially "Extender for Windows Media Center" and code named "Bobsled" [1]) are devices that are configured to connect over a computer network to a computer running Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium/Ultimate, Windows 7 Home Premium, or Windows 8 with a Pro pack to stream the computer's media center functions to the Extender ...
The frequency range of these drivers is maximized through the use of a whizzer cone and other means. Most single driver systems, such as those in radios, or small computer speaker designs, cannot reproduce all of the audible frequencies or the entire audible audio range (i.e., sound within the range of human hearing).
to predict the resulting immission levels based on a planned change, e.g. set up of a new machine; Mostly, noise calculation is part of any such planning process and may become part of the decision process for physical change Environment engineering differentiates between: indoor sound propagation, e.g. occupational health considerations
