Physics/Engineering of Sound Project
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
I will be elaborating an article on the physics of sounds and need an expert engineer in the area physics of sound to answer some questions.
Topics description:
1 - Introduction: sound characteristics
2 - The Sound Continuum
3 - The eavesdropping
4 - Theories of communication (sound)
5 - The Voice and Speech
6 - Music
7 - Soundscape
8 - Time and Rhythm
SOUND CHARACTERISTICS
Basic characteristics of sound from the physical and psychoacoustic point of view, as well as in its possible representations. It seeks to affirm basic concepts.
Sound characteristics
Periodic and aperiodic sounds
Width and Height Envelope
Height
Spectral
Acoustics
AudacityURL - Sound editing and Visualization program.
Physical acoustics
Physical model of sound.
Dynamic envelope concept.
periodic waves.
Spectrum.
Psychoacoustics - Miyara
psychoaustic characteristics of sound
- loudness
- height
- doorbell
concept of "continuity" between sound communication systems.

3- THE LISTENING
The various acoustic communication systems, the listener and possible listening attitudes.

Typologies of Listening
Examples of listening typologies
4 - Elements of communication theory applied to sound
Elements and functions of communication
Communicative factors, elements and functions
5 - VOICE AND SPEECH
The voice, from the phonetic point of view and in speech as a communication system.
Truax - Voice and sound-making
Miyara - The human voice
Miyara - Formants

6 - THE MUSIC
Musics/Truax
Music/Tagg
Tagg - musical meanings (required)
8 - TIME AND RHYTHM
This focuses on the concepts of Time and Rhythm, with particular emphasis on musical rhythm and poetry.
