sound waveform

A sound waveform is a visual representation of how sound varies over time. It shows the changes in air pressure or vibrations that create sound, with the horizontal axis representing time and the vertical axis showing the loudness or amplitude. When you speak or listen, these vibrations are captured as fluctuations on the waveform. Larger peaks indicate louder sounds, while smaller ones are softer. The waveform helps us understand sound’s characteristics, like pitch and intensity, and is used in audio editing and analysis. It provides a clear picture of how sound behaves over a period.
