1 Acoustic Phonetics Chapter 8 1
2 1. Sound waves Vocal folds/cords: Frequency: 300 Hz
3 1.1 Sound waves: The parts of waves We will be considering the parts of a wave with the wave represented as a transverse wave as in the following diagram: In the above diagram the white line represents the position of the medium when no wave is present. This medium could be imagined as a rope fixed at one end a few feet above the ground and held by you at the other end. The yellow line represents the position of the medium as a wave travels through it. We simply say that the yellow line is the wave. If we consider the rope mentioned before, this wave could be created by vertically shaking the end of the rope. Often, when several waves are traveling along a medium as shown above, the continuous group of waves is called a wave train. 3
4 1.2 Sound waves: What is crest and trough? The section of the wave that rises above the undisturbed position is called the crest. That section which lies below the undisturbed position is called the trough. These sections are labeled in the following diagram: 4
5 1.3 Sound waves: What is amplitude? The term amplitude can have slightly different meanings depending upon the context of the situation. Its most general definition is that the amplitude is the maximum positive displacement from the undisturbed position of the medium to the top of a crest. This is shown in the following diagram: 5
6 1.4 What is positive & negative amplitude? The displacements of positive and negative amplitudes are shown in the following diagram: Sometimes it is necessary to discuss an amplitude at a certain point along the wave. Several of these amplitudes are shown in the following diagram: 6
7 1.5 Sound waves: What is wavelength? The wavelength of a wave is the distance between any two adjacent corresponding locations on the wave train. This distance is usually measured in one of three ways: crest to next crest, trough to next trough, or from the start of a wave cycle to the next starting point. Actually, the a wavelength exists between any point on a wave and the corresponding point on the next wave in the wave train. A few of such distances are shown below: 7
8 2.1 What is frequency? 1. Frequency refers to how many waves are made per time interval. This is usually described as how many waves are made per second, or as cycles per second. 2. If ten waves are made per second, then the frequency is said to be ten cycles per second, written as 10 cps. 3. Usually, we use the unit Hertz to state frequency. A frequency of 10 cps is noted as a frequency of 10 Hertz. So, one cycle per second is one Hertz, as in: 1 cps = 1 Hertz or it is abbreviated this way: 1 cps = 1 Hz 120 cps = 120 Hz 350 cps = 350 Hz 8
9 2.2. Sound waves and the frequency Frequency: The number of complete repetitions (cycles) of variations in air pressure occurring in a second. The unit of frequency measurement is the hertz (Hz)
10 2.3 Sound waves with different frequencies? 100 Hz 200 Hz second 10

48 5. Loudness and intensity 1. In general, the loudness of a sound depends on the size of the variations in air pressure that occur. Just as frequency is the acoustic measurement most directly corresponding to the pitch of a sound, so acoustic intensity is the appropriate measure corresponding to loudness. The intensity is proportional to the average size, or amplitude, of the variations in air pressure. It is usually measured in decibels (abbreviated as db) relative to the amplitude of some other sounds. 2. The human ear can hear (perhaps tolerate would be a better word) a range of about 120 db, although if you persist in listening to sounds 110 to 120 db above the quietest sound you can hear you will soon go deaf, as many rock musicians have found out. When one sound has an intensity 5 db greater than another, then it is approximately twice as loud. A change in intensity of 1 db is a little more than the just noticeable difference in loudness. (use Soundforge to demonstrate) 48
49 5.1 Intensity and fundamental frequencies Use PRAAT to test the intensity. 49
50 6. Pitch and frequency The pitch of a sound is that auditory property that enables a listener to place it on a scale going from low to high, without considering its acoustic properties. In practice, when a speech sound goes up in frequency, it also goes up in pitch. For the most part, at an introductory level of the subject, the pitch of a sound may be equated with its fundamental frequency, and, indeed, some books do not distinguish between the two terms, using pitch for both the auditory property and the physical attribute. 50
51 6.1 No voice, no pitch marked 1. The sentences used as illustrations of different intonations contained almost no voiceless sounds and hardly any voiced stops or fricatives. This is because voiceless sounds have no vocal fold pulses and therefore no pitch. Voiced stops and fricatives also perturb the smooth pitch curve. 2. Voiced sounds have a regular waveform of the kind that you hear as having a recognizable pitch. In voiceless sounds, the variations in air pressure are caused by the smooth flow of the airstream being interrupted by being forced through a narrow channel or directed over irregular surfaces. In the sound waves that are produced, there are usually more rapid (and therefore higher frequency) variations in air pressure than occur during voiced sounds. For a male voice, the frequency of the vocal fold vibrations in speech may be between 80 and 200 Hz. A woman's voice may go up to about 400 Hz. The predominant frequencies in voiceless sounds are usually above 2,000 Hz. 51
