We measure the intensity of a sound in Decibels, but when referring to sound as humans hear it, this type of Decibel measurement is used.
What is dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level)?
These two guys determined that humans are most sensitive to 1k-4k and discovered the human frequency response.
Who are Fletcher and Munson?
What is equalization?
It's the height of the soundwave - we use this measurement to determine the intensity.
What is amplitude?
Our ear - much like a microphone - acts as this type of mechanism.
What is a transducer?
This frequency group is often described as "nasal" and covers a wide series of frequencies.
What are mids?
The amount of times a soundwave occurs over a second of time is called this.
What is frequency?
While we don't have a flat frequency response as humans, we hear all frequency ranges most evenly at this level.
What is 80-85 dB?
The Nyquist Theorum states that in order for digital conversion to happen, the sample rate must be this many times the highest sampled frequency.
What is twice/2x as high?
Sound waves have areas of compression and rarefaction, making them these types of waves.
What are longitudinal waves?
After the direct sound, we hear this type of signal delivery next!
What are early reflections?
In digital audio, bit-depth determines these two factors for a signal.
What are dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio?
