AET 1380 Test 1 Test Prep

ADSR stands for

The formula to calculate wavelength of a given frequency is:

When localizing what direction a sound is coming from, our 2 ears can use the arrival time differences.

Someone who wants to create guitar pedals would probably need to study

Name the two parts of a waveform

Masking is when loud signals prevent our ears from hearing softer sounds.

One way to deal with room reflections is to use

The ossicles are made up of the

The reason a violin and a trumpet can play the same note, but sound different, is because of "timbral" differences.

NIOSH says that if you are exposed to sound for a period 8 hours, you should be listening no louder than

The only jobs available for audio technology majors are being studio engineers or doing live sound.

One octave above 3200 Hz is

The "Fletcher-Munson" curves demonstrate that our ears "hear" linearly to all frequencies.

The "threshold of pain" is defined as

The speed of sound, under normal conditions, is

The external/outer ear that is the part we see is called the

Sounds do not reflect off of surfaces.

Phase differences between 2 or more waveforms can lead to

The range of human hearing is

The wavelength of a 100 Hz waveform would be approximately

When you are thinking of how to apply Unit 1 "transmission of sound" concepts, you might think about

Why does sound not go on into infinity?

In a sound wave, air particles moving closer together and then further apart is described as

"Diffraction of sound" is defined by sound

Audio related jobs requiring a study of computer science may include

RT 60 stands for

Sound Pressure Level is measured in

When localizing vertical direction with our ears, our brains calculate this using "head shadowing".

An octave up is

The measurement of cycles per second is a measure of

What can sound NOT travel through?

"Direct sound", "Early Reflections", and "Reverberation" make up

Sound Pressure Level is measured in

We use the "direct sound" to tell us the approximate "size of the space".

"Diffraction of sound" means that sound bounces back and forth like a flutter between parallel surfaces.
