analysis of sound

Sound analysis involves examining how sound waves behave—measuring qualities like frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), and duration. By capturing sound with microphones and converting it into data, we can identify patterns, sources, and characteristics. Techniques such as Fourier analysis break down complex sounds into simpler components, revealing the individual frequencies that create the overall sound. This process helps in applications like audio quality assessment, speech recognition, and noise reduction, providing a scientific way to understand and interpret sound's properties beyond what we hear naturally.
