  2. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    The resultant wave may have greater intensity (constructive interference) or lower amplitude (destructive interference) if the two waves are in phase or out of phase, respectively. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light , radio , acoustic , surface water waves , gravity waves , or matter waves as well ...

  3. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    add some glue (e.g. a layer of glue is often added on the top of television coils ; over the years, this glue degrades and the sound level increases) change the shape of the coil (e.g. change coil shape to a figure eight rather than a traditional coil shape) isolate the coil from the rest of the device to minimize structure-borne noise

  4. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    Interference is the addition of two or more waves that results in a new wave pattern. Interference of sound waves can be observed when two loudspeakers transmit the same signal. At certain locations constructive interference occurs, doubling the local sound pressure.

  5. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    A noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude but with an inverted phase (also known as antiphase) relative to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out – an effect which is called destructive interference.

  6. Radio noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_noise

    Radio noise is a combination of natural electromagnetic atmospheric noise ("spherics", static) created by electrical processes in the atmosphere like lightning; human-made radio frequency interference (RFI) from other electrical devices picked up by the receiver's antenna; and thermal noise present in the receiver input circuits, mostly caused ...

  7. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    The noise is a summation of unwanted or disturbing energy from natural and sometimes man-made sources. Noise is, however, typically distinguished from interference, [a] for example in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SNIR) measures.

  8. Impulse noise (acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

    Impulse noise is a category of noise that includes unwanted, almost instantaneous (thus impulse-like) sharp sounds (like clicks and pops)—typically caused by electromagnetic interference, scratches on disks, gunfire, explosions, pickleball play, and synchronization issues in digital audio.

  9. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    In this type the derivative (slope) of the wave's amplitude (in sound waves the pressure, in electromagnetic waves, the current) is forced to zero at the boundary. So there is an amplitude maximum (antinode) at the boundary, the first node occurs a quarter wavelength from the end, and the other nodes are at half wavelength intervals from there:
