Audio Production & Technology - (Theory of Sound)

What is a waveform?

Waveform is what is used to measure sound waves. Waveform is what also represents audio and reflects the airwaves. When the wave swings to a peak, it represents high pressure and when it swings down that represents low pressure.

What is pitch?

In music pitch is of a note means how high or low a note is. Pitch is measured in Hertz, slow moving air is sensed as low frequency is down 20 Hertz and high moving air is sensed at a high frequency of 20KHz.

What is decibel level (dB)?

The decibel is used to measure the intensity of sound. Examples of decibel levels is that street noise is 70dB, a nightclub is 100dB and concert noise is 110dB.

What is a sound generator?
