Auditory perception Flashcards
1
Q
pure tones
A
occurs when the change in air pressure occur in a pattern described by a mathematical function called a sine wave
2
Q
frequency
A
the higher the frequency the higher the pitch (for pure tones)
- measured in Hz (Hertz)
3
Q
Amplitude
A
the greater the amplitude to louder a sound seems.
measured in db (decibles
4
Q
Amplitude
A
the greater the amplitude to louder a sound seems.
measured in db (decibles)
5
Q
Loudness
A
the greater the amplitude, the louder the sound seems. However, the actual loundness of sound also depends on the frequency. Perceptually, loudness is measured in phons.
