PSY-3215 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Sound Intensity, Fundamental Frequency, Missing Fundamental
Document Summary
If you turn your head one way, the sound will go up in one ear and down in the other ear (and vice versa) The sound is localized in your head because the hearing system isn"t getting. If you turn your head one way, the sound intensity stays the same the head movement changes. The sound intensity sounds the same regardless of head movement. If the fundamental is 100 hz, the harmonics will be 2x that, 3x, 4x, etc. Timbre: the sound difference that remains across two notes when pitch and loudness are equated. If you remove the fundamental, 2f becomes the fundamental and the pitch should increase to match i. e. , remove fundamental, pitch increases. Missing fundamental effect: if you remove the fundamental, the pitch does not increase. As the harmonics all begin, they start at the same time/place so there is constructive interference. Then destructive interference happens as the wavelengths are different.
