Hierarchy of Speech Acts   1. Neural Signals 2.Muscular Contractions 3. Structural Movement(lips, jaw, tongue, velum, vocal folds) 4. Areodynamic Events (result of structural movement- friction sounds, building up & releasing of pressure) 5.Acoustic Consequences 6.Speech  
🗑
In order to have sound, you must have   1. Something put into vibration 2. Something to conduct (i.e., carry or transmit) the sound vibrations  
🗑
In order to have vibration   Something with elastic properties must be put into motion  
🗑
Elasticity   -the tendency for an object to return to its normal resting state.  
🗑
Inertia   -the tendency for a body at rest to remain at rest, or a body in motion to remain in motion.  
🗑
Conductors   -conduct sound well  
🗑
Insulators   -don’t conduct sound well  
🗑
How Sound is Conducted   Compressions & Rarefactions  
🗑
Degree of max compression   90°  
🗑
Degree of max rarefaction   270°  
🗑
2 tones are presented, with identical frequency and intensity. However, they are 180 degrees out of phase. What happens?   cancellation  
🗑
2 tones are presented, with identical frequency and intensity, and the exact phase relationship. What would happen?   A single tone with increased amplitude  
🗑
Amplitude   -The maximum displacement during a cycle of vibration -The point of maximum compression  
🗑
Sound is conducted through a medium by   The traveling of the disturbance. Air particles do NOT move a great distance, just enough to disturb the next air particle and so forth.  
🗑
Rarefraction   point of stretch  
🗑
Trough   valley that's the point of maximum rarefaction  
🗑
Amplitude   peaks are point of maximum compression  
🗑
relationship pf amplitude/compression and intensity.   The greater the compression/amplitudue, the greater the intensity.  
🗑
We perceive intensity as   loudness  
🗑
Damping   The gradual decrease in the amplitude of vibration over time  
🗑
Psychological perception of frequency   Pitch  
🗑
Psychological perception of Intensity   Loudness  
🗑
3 Physical Properties of Sound   -Frequency (# of cycles, pitch) -- measured in Hertz (Hz) -Intensity (height of wave, amplitude) -- measured in decibels (dB) -Duration -- measured in milliseconds (ms)  
🗑
Frequency is determined by what?   -The number of complete cycles occurring during one second. -The more cycles that occur in 1 sec the higher the frequency and vice versa.  
🗑
In order to have a perceptible pitch, a frequency that you can hear, there has to be...   -Repetition -each cycle must occur and reoccur at the same rate  
🗑
periodic wave   A sound wave that repeats itself at regular intervals  
🗑
aperiodic wave   -A sound wave that is non-repetitive, has a different rate for each cycle -No specific frequency can be assigned to -it has no perceptible pitch -it is random noise  
🗑
If a tone has 1000 cycles in one second, how long does it take to complete one cycle? or what is it's period   -each cycle takes 1/1000 of a second  
🗑
How long does it take to complete one cycle of a 250 Hz tone? or what is it's period   -1/250 of a second  
🗑
period   -The length of time it takes for a tone to complete one cycle of vibration  
🗑
tones with higher frequencies have what kind of periods.   shorter  
🗑
How to Convert to milliseconds   pull decimal to right 3 places.  
🗑
What is the period of a 1000 Hz tone?   =1/1000 sec =0.001 sec =1 ms  
🗑
What is the period of a 2000 Hz tone   =1/2000 =0.0005 sec =0.5 ms  
🗑
What is the period of a 250 Hz tone?   =1/250 sec =0.004 sec =4ms  
🗑
What is the period of a 500 Hz tone?   =1/500 sec =0.002 sec =2ms  
🗑
What is the frequency of a tone that has a period of 50 ms?   decimal moves left 3 times = 0.050 sec = 1/0.05 = 20 Hz  
🗑
What is the frequency of a tone that has a period of 5 ms?   5 ms= .005 sec 1/.005= 200hz  
🗑
What is the frequency of a tone that has a period of 20 ms?   =0.020 sec =1/.02 =50 Hz  
🗑
How to calculate frequency with a graph   -must know the time per divion -count how many seconds it takes to complete 1 cycle -Ex:2ms to complete one cycle 2ms= .002 sec 1/.002 =500 Hz (frequency)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
