The Tone Height of Multiharmonic Sounds
نویسنده
چکیده
Multiharmonic tones containing resolved harmonics (1-7) of a fundamental, unresolved harmonics (8-24) of a fundamental, or both resolved and unresolved harmonics (1-24) were presented to listeners at each of six octaves ranging from 32 to 1024 Hz. There also were modified versions of each stimulus in which alternate harmonics were either attenuated or phase shifted. Listeners were asked to judge the tone height of the sounds when presented in a musical context. The results show that all three manipulations can affect tone height and that stimuli with the same period produce tone-height perceptions that differ by more than an octave!

متن کاملA SMARC Effect for Loudness
Various reports suggest that the pitch height of musical tones may be represented along a mental space, with lower pitch heights represented on the left or lower sectors and higher pitch heights represented on the right or upper sectors of the mental space. Given that in Western languages the loudness of tones is often addressed spatially, with loud sounds referred to as "high" and quiet sounds...

In this paper we have extracted the notes of Iranian scale from the traditional music played by the great musician Shahnazi on the TAR. Then, by analyzing the spectrum of the notes and by using our special averaging we have found the pitch attributed to the components’ frequency and found the interval between the notes. The results are in comple agreement with Pythagorean scale. Pitch is a su...

This paper derives a general expression for the mean square error in estimating the fundamental frequency of a multiharmonic signal from a nite sequence of noisy measurements The distinguishing feature of this expression is that it is applicable at values of signal to noise ratio SNR within the threshold region in contrast to earlier expressions the Cramer Rao bounds that are valid only at high...
متن کاملAcoustic Sensitivity of the Saccule and Daf Music
Introduction: The daf is a large Persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 Hz) with peaks of up to 130 dBspl. The percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. In view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibu...
