  2. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

    I 0 is the reference sound intensity; 1 Np = 1 is the neper; 1 B = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ln(10) is the bel; 1 dB = ⁠ 1 / 20 ⁠ ln(10) is the decibel. The commonly used reference sound intensity in air is [5] = /. being approximately the lowest sound intensity hearable by an undamaged human ear under room conditions.

  3. A-weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

    A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level.

    The smallest signal without dithering is 1, so the number of different levels is one less, 2 16 − 1. So for a 16-bit digital system, the Dynamic Range is 20·log(2 16 − 1) ≈ 96 dB. Sample accuracy/synchronisation Not as much a specification as an ability.

  6. Audio normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_normalization

    Before loudness normalization, one song in a playlist might be quieter than the rest, so the listener would have to turn a volume knob up to adjust the playback volume. [ 4 ] Depending on the dynamic range of the content and the target level, loudness normalization can result in peaks that exceed the recording medium's limits, causing clipping.

    Compact Cassettes may have a response extending up to 15 kHz at full (0 dB) recording level. [17] At lower levels (−10 dB), cassettes are typically limited to 20 kHz due to self-erasure of the tape media. The frequency response for a conventional LP player might be 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ±3 dB.

  8. High-resolution audio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio

    High-resolution audio (high-definition audio or HD audio) is a term for audio files with greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate or higher than 16-bit audio bit depth. It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates. However, 44.1 kHz/24-bit, 48 kHz/24-bit and 88.2 kHz/24-bit recordings also exist that are labeled HD audio.

  9. Weighting filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighting_filter

    Sound has three basic components, the wavelength, frequency, and speed. In sound measurement, we measure the loudness of the sound in decibels (dB). Decibels are logarithmic with 0 dB as the reference. [1] There are also a range of frequencies that sounds can have. Frequency is the number of times a sine wave repeats itself in a second. [2]
