What is the spectrum of a sound?

A sound spectrum is a representation of a sound – usually a short sample of a sound – in terms of the amount of vibration at each individual frequency. It is usually presented as a graph of either power or pressure as a function of frequency.

Is there a spectrum for sound waves?

SOUND WAVES

The audible range of sound frequencies is between 20 and 20000 Hz, with greatest sensitivity to those frequencies that fall in the middle of this range. As was the case with the visible spectrum, other species show differences in their audible ranges.

How do you find the frequency of sound?

Re: Measuring Sound Speed/Frequency

Sound wave frequencies can be measured with a frequency counter or with a spectrum analyzer. These devices work by using a microphone to convert the sound wave into an electrical signal. The peaks and valleys of wave are counted to find the frequency.

What do you mean by spectrum and spectrogram?

A spectrogram is a visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies of a signal as it varies with time. When applied to an audio signal, spectrograms are sometimes called sonographs, voiceprints, or voicegrams. Also, sonogram. When the data are represented in a 3D plot they may be called waterfalls.
