Across
  1. 2. It is the property of sound that most determines pitch and is measured in hertz.
  2. 6. The speed in which the sound wave travels which is weather dependent.
  3. 9. frequency The lowest frequency of a periodic waveform
  4. 13. The distance between two successive identical points in the wave cycle
  5. 15. Traps A material object that picks up bass energy and absorbs the bottom end frequencies and prevents low frequencies from bouncing back into the room
  6. 16. Partials that are higher than the fundamental frequency.
  7. 18. Located on the outer ear that collects sound-waves and directs them down the aural-canal.
  8. 19. Frequencies that exist while the fundamental frequency is being placed.
  9. 23. field Having an equal balance of all musical components in a track in order to create a great listening experience.
  10. 25. Overtones that are whole multiples of the fundamental frequency
  11. 26. Snail like organ that contains hairs which respond to certain frequencies depending on their placement along the organ, which results in the neural stimulation that gives us the sensation of hearing.
Down
  1. 1. The time it takes to complete 1 wave cycle.
  2. 3. The distance above or below the centerline of a waveform making either louder or softer
  3. 4. The brains perception and interpretation of a physical auditory stimulus.
  4. 5. wave A single frequency that produces a pure sound at a specific pitch.
  5. 7. Air molecules that have been vibrated inward creating lower atmospheric pressure.
  6. 8. Air molecules that have been forced together creating more atmospheric pressure.
  7. 10. canal Entry for soundwaves into the eardrum
  8. 11. It is the property of sound that most determines pitch and is measured in hertz.
  9. 12. noise A random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies allowing people to fine tune their acoustic setup.
  10. 14. Material object that absorbs sound waves in order to create an adequate listening environment
  11. 17. tube Controls amount of pressure, important for hearing certain frequencies
  12. 20. membrane Sound waves are converted into mechanical vibrations.
  13. 21. Material object that deflects sound waves in order to create an adequate listening environment
  14. 22. spectrum Spectrum showing frequency bands, with each band having a different impact on the total sound.
  15. 24. shift One waveform’s lead or lag in time with respect to another creating a weaker less detailed sound.
