Document Summary
Timbre: most related to spectral composition: * refer to the mental experiences that occur in the minds of listeners , perception of loudness, 1. Relationship between loudness and intensity = nonlinear, so doubling intensity does not double loudness: 10 db rule: in order to double loudness, intensity must be increased by. Loudness is strongly affected by frequency of signal. If intensity is held constant, a mid-frequency signal (in range from 1000- The higher the fundamental frequency, the higher the perceived pitch: 2. Sensation of pitch is based on a measurement of the fundamental period and. Outer ear: pinna, ear canal, and ear drum: 2. Middle ear: ossicle bones (malleus, incus, stapes) and eustachian tube: 3. Inner ear: vestibular system (balance) and cochlea (hearing: 4. Central auditory nervous system: structure of cochlea, 1. Basilar membrane organ of corti sits here, which separates inner and outer hair cells: 2. Tectorial membrane looms over hair cells: understanding the processes of sound transduction, 1.
