UNIT 7 & UNIT 8 Flashcards
sound wave
pure tones when pressure changes
vibration
= amplitude
times/sec the pressure changes
frequency
number of cycles/sec of pressure changes
additive synthesis technique
using pure tone with same frequency as complex and then adding pure tones with a frequency multiple of the fundamental (base)
Steven’s magnitude estimation
increasing 10 dB double the sound’s loudness
pitch
perceptual quality described as high or low
tone height
increasing pitch, which increases tone’s fundamental frequency
periodicity pitch
pitch perceived when fundamental frequency or other harmonics are removed
timbre
harmonic structure of tone, same loudness pitch and duraction buit sound different
aperiodic sounds
sound waves that do not repeat
what stream
in the front to identify sounds
where stream
at the back to locate sounds
Aizmuth coordinates
from left to right
Elevation coordinates
from up to down
interaural time difference
difference when a sound reaches left and right ear
