    Power Threshold of Hearing: Sine and

    Uploaded by

    jackim123
    This document defines key terms related to audio signals and sound: Power is the total energy of an audio signal measured at the source. Threshold of hearing and threshold of pain refer to the lowest and highest sound pressure levels a human can perceive. Release is the final portion of an envelope where amplitude decreases to zero. Sampling is the digital recording of sound defined by constants like sampling frequency and number of bits. Signal processing and sound synthesis refer to the digital manipulation and electronic generation of sounds respectively.

    Power Threshold of hearing


    The total energy of an audio signa l, The weakest sound pressure t hat the
    measured at the source. huma n ear can perceive.

    Realtime synthesis and processing Threshold of pain


    Synt hesis or processing that can be The maximum sound pressure t hat a
    heard as it is being generated. human listener can bear.

    Release Unipolar waves


    The f inal portion of an envelope Waves w hose sample values are all
    dur ing wh ich amp litude grad ually greater than or equal to 0, or w hose
    decreases to zero. sample values are less than or equal
    to 0.
    Sampling

    nels, etc.

    Sampling rate
    The number of samples per second
    in a dig ital waveform. For example,
    the audio wavefo rm in an audio
    CD is 44. 1 tho usand samples per

    Signal processing
    The dig ital processing of a sound .

    Sine and cosine waves
