Analysis of complex waves
• Waves can be summed• Complex waves are the sum of simple waves• Fourier: French Mathematician:
– Any complex waveform may be formed by summing sinusoids of various frequency, amplitude and phase
• Fourier Analysis– Provides a unique (only one) solution for a given sound signal– Is reflected in the amplitude and phase spectrum of the signal– Reveals the building blocks of complex waves, which are
sinusoids

What is an “Acoustic” Filter
• holds back (attenuates) certain sounds and lets other sounds through - selective.

Why might we be interested in filters?
• Human vocal tract acts like a frequency selective acoustic filter
• Human auditory system behaves as a frequency selective filter
• helps us understand how speech is produced and perceived.

Kinds of frequency selective filters
Low-pass filters– Lets low frequencies “pass through” and attenuates
high frequencies
High-pass filters– Lets high frequencies “pass through” and attenuates
low frequencies
Band-pass filters– Lets a particular frequency range “pass through” and
attenuates other frequencies

Learning Objectives
• Define resonance, free and forced vibration
• Outline how acoustic resonators behave like acoustic filters

Free vibration
• objects tend to vibrate at a characteristic or resonant frequency (RF)
![Page 70: SPPA 6010 Advanced Speech Science 1 The Source-Filter Theory: The Sound Source](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649d315503460f94a09f2b/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
SPPA 6010 Advanced Speech Science
70
Forced vibration
• A vibrating system can force a nearby system into vibration
• The efficiency with which this is accomplished is related to the similarity in the resonant frequency (RF) of the two systems
![Page 71: SPPA 6010 Advanced Speech Science 1 The Source-Filter Theory: The Sound Source](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649d315503460f94a09f2b/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
SPPA 6010 Advanced Speech Science
71
Forced vibration
• If the RF of the two systems are the same, the amplitude of forced vibration will be large
• If the RF of the two systems are quite different, the amplitude of forced vibration will be small or nonexistent
![Page 72: SPPA 6010 Advanced Speech Science 1 The Source-Filter Theory: The Sound Source](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649d315503460f94a09f2b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Resonance refers to
• Natural vibrating frequency of a system
• The ability of a vibrating system to force another system into vibration

Resonance
Acoustic (Cavity) Resonators
• Transmit sound frequencies with more or less efficiency, depending upon the physical characteristics
• Therefore, they act as filters, passing through (and even amplifying) some frequencies and attentuating others.

Resonance
Acoustic (Cavity) Resonators• And since they act as filters, they have most
of the same features of a filter, even though we might use different names.
• Center frequency is often termed the resonant frequency.
• Frequency response curve often termed the resonance curve.
• Resonators may be sharply or broadly “tuned” which refers to the roll-off frequency
