  2. Tonal memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_memory

    Tonal memory. In music, tonal memory or "aural recall" is the ability to remember a specific tone after it has been heard. [1] Tonal memory assists with staying in tune and may be developed through ear training. Extensive tonal memory may be recognized as an indication of potential compositional ability. [2]

  3. Just-noticeable difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-noticeable_difference

    In the branch of experimental psychology focused on sense, sensation, and perception, which is called psychophysics, a just-noticeable difference or JND is the amount something must be changed in order for a difference to be noticeable, detectable at least half the time. [1] This limen is also known as the difference limen, difference threshold ...

  4. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    Experiment using two tuning forks oscillating at the same frequency.One of the forks is being hit with a rubberized mallet. Although the first tuning fork hasn't been hit, the other fork is visibly excited due to the oscillation caused by the periodic change in the pressure and density of the air by hitting the other fork, creating an acoustic resonance between the forks.

  5. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    Tint, shade and tone. In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading. [1]

  6. Music psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_psychology

    Music psychology is a field of research with practical relevance for many areas, including music performance, composition, education, criticism, and therapy, as well as investigations of human attitude, skill, performance, intelligence, creativity, and social behavior. Music psychology can shed light on non-psychological aspects of musicology ...

  7. White noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise

    In signal processing, white noise is a random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies, giving it a constant power spectral density. [1] The term is used with this or similar meanings in many scientific and technical disciplines, including physics, acoustical engineering, telecommunications, and statistical forecasting.

  8. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    The SNR values are given for the rectangular region on the forehead. The plots at the bottom show the signal intensity in the indicated row of the image (red: original signal, blue: with noise). Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background ...

  9. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    Infrasound is characterized by an ability to get around obstacles with little dissipation. In music, acoustic waveguide methods, such as a large pipe organ or, for reproduction, exotic loudspeaker designs such as transmission line, rotary woofer, or traditional subwoofer designs can produce low-frequency sounds, including near-infrasound.
