  2. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    The report "A Review of Published Research on Low Frequency Noise and its Effects" [54] contains a long list of research about exposure to high-level infrasound among humans and animals. For instance, in 1972, Borredon exposed 42 young men to tones at 7.5 Hz at 130 dB for 50 minutes.

  3. List of unexplained sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds

    The name was given because the sound slowly decreases in frequency over about seven minutes. It was recorded using an autonomous hydrophone array. [8] The sound has been picked up several times each year since 1997. [9] One of the hypotheses on the origin of the sound is moving ice in Antarctica. Sound spectrograms of vibrations caused by ...

  4. Compression artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

    The lower the bit rate, the more coarsely the coefficients are represented and the more coefficients are quantized to zero. Statistically, images have more low-frequency than high-frequency content, so it is the low-frequency content that remains after quantization, which results in blurry, low-resolution blocks. In the most extreme case only ...

  5. Rumble (noise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(noise)

    A rumble is a continuous deep, resonant sound, such as the sound made by heavy vehicles or thunder. [1] In the context of audio reproduction rumble refers to a low frequency sound from the bearings inside a turntable. This is most noticeable in low quality turntables with ball bearings. Higher quality turntables use slide bearings, minimizing ...

  6. Perception of infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_of_infrasound

    Infrasound is sound at frequencies lower than the low frequency end of human hearing threshold at 20 Hz. It is known, however, that humans can perceive sounds below this frequency at very high pressure levels. [1]

  7. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

    The measure of the low frequency (many tens of Hz) noise contributed by the turntable of an analogue playback system. It is caused by imperfect bearings, uneven motor windings, vibrations in driving bands in some turntables, room vibrations (e.g., from traffic) that is transmitted by the turntable mounting and so to the phono cartridge.

  8. Low-frequency effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-frequency_effects

    LFEs include both low-pitched musical notes and low-pitched sound effects. The musical soundtrack for many films includes bass instruments that produce very low notes. . Until the 1970s, most of the low-pitched instruments were natural, acoustic instruments, such as the double bass or the pipe organ's pedal key

  9. Phaser (effect) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaser_(effect)

    A phaser is an electronic sound processor used to filter a signal by creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum. The position of the peaks and troughs of the waveform being affected is typically modulated by an internal low-frequency oscillator so that they vary over time, creating a sweeping effect.
