  2. Hypersonic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_effect

    Numerous other studies have contradicted the portion of the results relating to the subjective reaction to high-frequency audio, finding that people who have "good ears" [8] listening to Super Audio CDs and high resolution DVD-Audio recordings [9] on high fidelity systems capable of reproducing sounds up to 30 kHz [10] cannot tell the ...

  3. Treble (sound) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treble_(sound)

    Treble describes tones of high frequency or high pitch, ranging from 6 kHz to 20 kHz, [1] comprising the higher end of the human hearing range. In music, this corresponds to high notes. The treble clef is often used to notate such notes. [2] Treble sound is the counterpart to bass sound.

  4. Effects unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_unit

    These units are generally used for boosting volume during solos and preventing signal loss in long effects chains. A guitarist switching from rhythm guitar to lead guitar for a guitar solo may use a boost to increase the volume of their solo. [66] Volume effects: Electro-Harmonix LPB-1, Fender Volume Pedal, MXR Micro Amp, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal.

  5. Envelope (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)

    In sound and music, an envelope describes how a sound changes over time. For example, a piano key, when struck and held, creates a near-immediate initial sound which gradually decreases in volume to zero. An envelope may relate to elements such as amplitude (volume), frequency (with the use of filters) or pitch.

  6. Musical tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tone

    Traditionally in Western music, a musical tone is a steady periodic sound. A musical tone is characterized by its duration, pitch, intensity (or loudness), and timbre (or quality). [1] The notes used in music can be more complex than musical tones, as they may include aperiodic aspects, such as attack transients, vibrato, and envelope modulation.

  7. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Diagram of beat frequency. In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.

  8. Pitch shifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_shifting

    The simplest methods are used to increase pitch and reduce durations or, conversely, reduce pitch and increase duration. This can be done by replaying a sound waveform at a different speed than it was recorded. It could be accomplished on an early reel-to-reel tape recorder by changing the diameter of the capstan or using a different motor. As ...

  9. Shepard tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

    The thirteenth tone would then be the same as the first, and the cycle could continue indefinitely. (In other words, each tone consists of two sine waves with frequencies separated by octaves; the intensity of each is e.g. a raised cosine function of its separation in semitones from a peak frequency, which in the above example would be B 4 ...
