      Hello! Typically there has to be a calibration procedure, I think there could be different procedures and I'm not sure what is the best one for your specific product, but for example for Brüel & Kjær microphones you can use a B&K type 4231, it is a box which emits a specific frequency at a very specific pressure level (I think 1 kHz at 1 Pa), you insert the microphone inside, and then you can take note of what is the conversion. For B&K microphones you would look typically look at voltage rather than digtal values, but in an equivalent setup, if you get -10 dBFS at 1 Pa then you know that is the conversion, and from it you can convert anything else. You might also want to research the pistonphone calibration procedure

    I've got several references to a threshold of pain (130 dB SPL) equating to 2.9 psi. However, when I convert 2.9 psi to Pa and get 19994 and I plug that in to the I(dB) equation 20*log10(19994/.0000203) where 20.3uPa is the reference threshold for hearing, I get 180 db. 63.24 Pa is 130 dB SPL, but that 63.24 Pa is 0.009172992 psi which is way off the 2.9 psi. What's going on?

    • @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish
      @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish Місяць тому

      Hello! The 130 dB threshold of pain is correct. However, this equals to 63.24 Pascal (per the 3nd formula at 6:33), and converting that to psi it gives 0.009137. 130 dB SPL for sure doesn't equal 2.9 psi.

It was resolved with the use of Biogeometry, something that should be a pseudoscience. But I guess none of the people in that town have a PHD nor there are any in the Swiss government, since they approved the same work to be repeated nationwide, they must have been fooled. You can contact all of those peers of yours and tell them that their years of research are nonsense, because what about round and square plates? I am sure you will blow them away. I am throwing in also the piezoelectric effect for fun as another example of mechanical waves being translated into EMF. I conclude saying that arrogance and Scientism will not bring us far as a race and are one of the main reasons why people are becoming more and more disillusioned with academic science. Knowledge is always evolving and we still understand so little. Your believe that "hard math" (whatever that is) is the language of the universe is nothing new, Pythagora came up with it and it has been disproven over and over. We are methaphysical creatures as much as we are biological ones, without our ability to turn data into experience and assign meaning to it we are nothing. If you are not even aware that you have believes and that those believes are what is used to interpret the world, you will think that you see the ultimate truth and look like a fool while you do. I hope you will give a look at the papers I shared instead of just shielding yourself beyond titles. Btw I do not have a PHD but I have studied engeneering, music performance, I am studying currently music production, I speak 3 languages, and in my free time I enjoy leanring poetry, biology, phylosophy and teology. have a good day.

    Thanks for the lecture however I would like to make some points and hear your answer about it. I do not disagree with anything you say but in relation with the human body the arguments that waves travel differently in different mediums is weak, since the human body is made of the same stuff for everyone and of mostly the same shape, it stands to reason that if we are discussing the benefits of some frequencies related to the human body, that is what we should consider, not other materials. Water is a good material to study in this case being our body made mostly of water. Same goes for the argument relative to EM waves and sound waves being different, again nothing to say against this but it is a known fact that electricity plays a huge role in our bodies. From our brain, and our thought, to our muscles, all of them operate with electricity and are constantly bated in an electrical current. Our cells, and all living cells for that matter, are also constantly surrounded by a current at high voltage that allows all of the metabolic processes to take place. Therefore when talking about human bodies, there is a point to be made that EM frequencies have an impact as much as mechanical waves do. This is supported by research that has proved that EM fields from communication system actually have a negative impact on health. There is also research that has been looking into how the Schuman resonance could have played a crucial role in kick starting life, as the push and pull of the resonance might be what provided both energy and shape to allow the inert matter that makes up organic life to take on the complex geometries that we can observe. I do not say this because I support the 432 Hz theory, but because I found that your arguments tend to look at the problem in a way that is a bit sterile and purely quantitive, and not fully logically sound. I encourage everyone to look at data but not to forget that data refers only to qauntitive measures, qualitative measures are completely ignored in our current scientific system. Beauty is a qualitative measure, and it is one that is instinctual for every human, and beauty is a fundamental part in art and in spirtuality. There is also a mistake made in the argument that whole numbers are prettier and therefore should be prioritized. That is not why they are preffered, the point of number with many decible or irrational numbers is that they are not possible to be perfectly replicated physically, they have to be approximated. Of course even whole numbers cannot be perfecty replicated physically because of the constrains of the physical worls, no measure is ever perfect. Numerology is simply a different way to look at what patterns can be created using numbers and mathematics is also simply a study of patterns, there are many branches of mathematics that are considered perfectly valid and could be considered numerology but are not, the dinstinction between two fields is merely hystorical and I hard press you to find a definition for numerology that will not include proper mathematics as well. In general, I invite everyone to not look at things in a sterile way and remind you all that our way to look at things and interpret data is simply a product of our current phyloposhy and metaphysics. Creation is a mysterious process that is based on intuition and inspiration and refined by rationality, and our perception of reality is constantly changing and evolving. Staying curious and excited is fundamental to keep evolving these processes, which does not mean to believe in things without reason or not to look at inconsistencies, but keep reminding ourselves that reality is complex beyond understanding, our currently reductionist approach might put planes in the air but it will never explain the deeper mysteries that surround us at every step and from every direction.

      I have previously written a long comment but I will just sum it. Things that were "deeper mysteries" in the past, like magnetism and diseases, were able to be studied and understood thanks to, guess what, science. Hard math and physics. And this has given us the best tools to manipulate magnetism (as seen in technology) and to combat diseases. In the video I have explained with great detail why electromagnetic waves will not have the same effect as mechanical waves even at the same frequencies, and if you cannot understand that, then there is no way we can argue on the same grounds. In the same way, some people fear that phone radiation can cause cancer, however, I understand that what they don't, that radio waves are so long that they don't cause ionization which is what damages cells and DNA. The type of wave, their wavelengths, and the propagation medium in question, always determine the effects. You are free to believe in all the metaphysical concepts you like, but you cannot argue physics to those of us who have _actually_ studied physics.

Especially the government, since they approved a nation wade project. For fun I can also mention the piezoelectric phenomena as a process that directly transform machanical waves into electricity. Now you can go tell them how their years of research and study is nonsense and present them with your square and round plates argument, I am sure they will be blown away, no need to reply to me. I will just close my argument saying that the universe is data, it is our phyche that transforms that data into experience and assigns meaning to it. Without our methaphysical existence we would not be able to do that, but if you are not aware of this process, you will hold believes and not even be aware that you do. Perfect example is your "hard math" and the believe that it rapresents the truth of the universe always. This is a believe developed by the Pythagoreans and proved wrong many times. Our knwoledge is constantly expanding, your attitude of shielding yourself with titles while ignoring arguments and scientism will only hold us back from future advancements. Just like how our current cosmology that keeps being refuted by new observations but the academic physicists refuse to review their dogmas or to even aknoledge them as such. Since I am a PHDless fool you do not have to reply to me again, but I hope that at least you will read the papers I linked.

      "Water is a good material to study in this case being our body made mostly of water." You do not seem to factor into this that none of the water in our body is actually just water. Most of it is locked up in bones or form a solution with many other different molecules. There is not a single drop of water in your body that is not mixed with a number of other molecules too. So that is also not really a valid point.

      @@mischieffrk has this been tested or is it your assumption? It is hard to make predictions that is why the scientific method is all about testing and empirical evidence. i don t mean the fact that the water in our body is locked in a solution, but the fact that it would behave so differently to be unusable. I'm not saying that your point is not valid but i still think that there is a good chance that human bodies will respond in similar ways. Ofc different tissues would respond differently but the plasma in your body doesn t behave mechanically that differently from water. And we can also take that in consideration and for example use an isotopic solution for experiments.

This has been tested in the ocean where sound waves that traveled through denser seawater actually move faster than in less dense seawater. There's also things like blood pressure, and I'd assume oxygenation would also have some effect . But again it's important to note this is specifically referring to mechanical waves like sound waves, not EM waves.

    • @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish
      @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish 6 місяців тому

      Hello! Thank you for your comment. A reason to put sampling rates a bit further away from 40kHz is the use of anti-aliasing filters. These are low-pass filters used to remove anything above 20kHz, because otherwise if there ARE some frequencies above 20kHz, they can still alias back into the audible spectrum if you're sampling something at 40, 43.2, 44, 48 kHz, or whatever. So you filter first, then sample, and then your audio should be good. However, filters are pretty much never a hard cut. Meaning if you have a low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 20 kHz, it doesn't mean that 19999 Hz goes through unimpeded, and 20001 gets completely removed. Filters have a gradual curve where at some point the attenuation kicks in, and the attenuation is greater as you go up in frequencies (for low-pass). So having a little "buffer-zone" between say, 20 kHz and 22.05 kHz (the Nyquist frequency when sampling at 44.1 kHz) allows some room for the filter's curve, so that you don't cut into the highest end of the audible spectrum but at the same time you still cut away as much as you can from the post-20kHz range.

    The sound waves, however, are an electromagnetic interaction between the particles. The compression and decompression of the medium corresponds to waves of photons coming out of the compressed areas vs the uncompressed ones. So when the sound hits your body, photons are produced by the inelastic collisions in the rhythm of the sound. It is like turning the light on and off 432 times a second, which is what it's really about. It's about hitting the micro structure of your body with an electromagnetic pulse 432 times a second. It is not about the frequency of the electromagnetic wave itself. Conversely, light produces sound waves when it inelastically scatters with a material since some of the energy if given to the medium. The connection between sound and light is easily overlooked but quite obvious when you think about it!

    • @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish
      @AwesomeAcousticsEnglish 8 місяців тому

      I am an electronic and acoustic engineer with a master's degree, and what you said about sound producing photons and viceversa is quite literally nonsense, not in the realm of physics or science in general. Sound and photons are on vastly different scales of size. A 432 Hz sound wave has a wavelength of 80 cm, almost a full meter. An 80 cm wavelength does not affect elements on a micro scale structure, or produce photons which are in the NANOmeter scale wavelength-wise. When a wavelength is vastly larger than a target object, it just diffracts around the object rather than interacting with it in any meaningful way. Please formally study actual science before trying to use scientific arguments.

I think if you do the circle of fifths math, you end up at A= 422.8ish. A far cry from 432 anyway. I do wonder if tuning a wooden instrument along those lines would allow it to resonate more freely?

    Loving the FF prelude ;)

      Nice to see that you recognize it! I remember I was originally going to go for something like a C major scale, but the distance between the notes was not big enough to see nicely in the spectrogram and understand it intuitively. With the Prelude, the wide range of the arpeggio was good for practical reasons, while still being a nice, melodic example to listen to. It worked perfectly :D

    Psst... The spectrogram in the thumbnail actually says "Spectrograms in Audacity"

    Audacity has had some updates since I made this video. Some changes are: • Input and output devices are now in a button at the top called "Audio Setup", as "Recording devices" and "Playback devices" respectively • Project sample rate is now under "Audio Setup" > "Audio Settings" • The recording and playback monitors have been combined with the recording and playback level sliders, respectively • To change the time display from "Start and End" to "Start and Length", you now click on a gear button • "Add/Remove plug-ins" is renamed to "Plugin manager"

    You avoid talking about the digital dB values of peak and rms, and that there are two different ways of defining them. This is making it difficult to handle crest factors when going from analog to digital domain. A sine wave with 0dBFS peak should logically have an rms value of -3dBFS rms.. However some companies and also some standards say that a sine wave of 0dBFS peak also has an rms level of 0dBFSrms, which is making everything complicated. For instance, you get different crest factor calculations in analog and digital domain. You also can create signals that have positive rms value, like a full scale square wave that would have +3dBFS rms. Life would be much easier if we consider a full scale sinusoidal as 0dBFS peak and -3dBFS rms.

      Hello! Thanks for your comment. You will notice that this is just a highlight from a longer video. The full video is linked in the end screen and in the description (episode 2 of my main series). There I specificy that dB SPL are referenced to an rms value while dB FS are referenced to a peak value. I don't go as far as to compare the different situations where a sine wave can either be -3 dBFS rms or 0 dBFS as you mention, but I often have to limit the scope of each video at some point to avoid them becoming infinitely long 😅

      @AwesomeAcoustics in English Yes, I understand. But we need to talk about the elephant in the room. Peak values and RMS values and the relationship in between (crest factor) have been measured and calculated for 100 years in the analog domain. I cannot understand why the dBFS unit should be any different than dBV peak and dBVrms. In analog domain a sine wave always has a 3dB difference from rms to peak. Logically we should actively choose to do so also with dBFS. Some audio softwares allows us to choose.

      ​@@66DX7I think the difference is due to reference. There is a reference for consumer instruments such as a sound card and professional instruments such as a guitar mixage panel ... so we find dbu dbv dbfs...

      @baghdadiabdellatif1581 I am not sure what you mean. Are you sure you understand the differences between peak and rms levels?
