  2. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    Interference can also be seen in everyday phenomena such as iridescence and structural coloration. For example, the colours seen in a soap bubble arise from interference of light reflecting off the front and back surfaces of the thin soap film. Depending on the thickness of the film, different colours interfere constructively and destructively.

  3. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

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

    These phenomena can potentially generate vibrations of the ferromagnetic, conductive parts, coils and permanent magnets of electrical, magnetic and electromechanical device, resulting in an audible sound if the frequency of vibrations lies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, and if the sound level is high enough to be heard (e.g. large surface of ...

  4. 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.

  5. Background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_noise

    Background noise or ambient noise is any sound other than the sound being monitored (primary sound). Background noise is a form of noise pollution or interference . Background noise is an important concept in setting noise levels.

  6. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  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. 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.

  9. 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.
