Sounds like bubbling water, rustling leaves are considered this type of noise.

white noise

100

We do not hear the squeaks of bats because their sound has a frequency that is this

ultra high

100

Harmonics are linked to this feature of a musical note

quality

100

Vibrating air columns are closely related to these instruments

Wind instruments

100

The pits of these discs are read at about 44,100 times per second.

CDs

200

Loudness, pitch, and quality are all characteristics of this.

musical tones

200

When you halve a sounds wavelength you do this to its frequency

double it

200

Singing in the shower is a likely place you will hear this phenomenon

Reverberation

200

Pianos make use of these vibrating against a sound board

strings

200

This type of laser light carries more information

Blue

300

Musical notes and periodic tones separate musical sounds from this

Noise

300

10-12 W/m2

threshold of hearing

300

Strings on an instrument that have lower frequency tend to have this

greater mass

300

Vibrating membranes are closely related to this instrument

Percussion

300

DVDs make use of this system

binary system

400

The pitch of a sound is most closely related to this

Frequency

400

This value is most closely related to the loudness of a sound

amplitude

400

The frequency of a note one octave lower in pitch than a 880-Hz note is

440-Hz

400

Frequencies needed to reproduce high-quality sounds

beyond the range of hearing

400

A single layer DVD has about this much more storage capacity than a CD

6 times

500

A decibel is a measure of a sounds

Loudness

500

Compared to a sound of 30 decibels, the intensity of a sound of 60 decibels is

1000 times as much

500

Wave superposition is an essential component of this

Fourier analysis

500

This is a partial tone whose frequency is a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency

Harmonic

These read digital information represented by a series of pits on a disc

focused laser beams
