1 Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics Review: Chapters 1-5 Jeffrey Heinz University of Delaware March 15, /21

2 Outline Acoustics & Filters Acoustics of Speech Digital Signal Processing 2/21

3 Basic Acoustics & Filters 1. What is sound? 2. How does sound from a source reach your ears? 3. Types of sounds 4. Acoustic filters 3/21

4 Types of Sounds 1. Simple periodic waves 2. Complex periodic waves 3. Aperiodic waves (white noise, impulse noise) 4/21

5 Simple Periodic Waves Pressure sin(x*6.28) Time (ms) Amplitude Period, Frequency, and Wavelength Phase 5/21

16 Outline Acoustics & Filters Acoustics of Speech Digital Signal Processing 15/21

17 Digital Signal Processing 1. Digitizing sound 2. Processing sound 16/21

18 Digitizing Sound 1. Sampling rate (making time discrete) 2. Quantization (making amplitude discrete) 17/21

19 Processing sound 1. Digital Filters removes low or high frequency components from the signal 2. Autocorrelation tracks pitch changes over time 3. RMS amplitude measures acoustic intensity (loudness) 4. Fast Fourier Transform decomposes complex waves into their simple component parts 5. Linear Predictive Coding allows examination of broad spectral peaks 6. Spectrograms shows spectral changes over time All of the above rely on Windowing 18/21

20 Windowing 1. Speech is understood to be a sequence of complex periodic waves 2. The signal within each window is treated as a periodic complex wave. 3. Window length and window shape 19/21

21 Limits of digital signal processing 1. Nyquist frequency 2. Aliasing effects 3. Time resolution vs. frequency/amplitude resolution 20/21
