Hi everybody

I'm trying to compute plot 1/3 octave frequency of wave file . As anyone any idea about the
right algorithm?
Thanks a lot

If you can read MATLAB code there are a few examples in the File
Exchange.

I found this one and I have seen others.

- read the wave file
- do a fourier transform and store the result in an spectrum array
- create an array of 1/3 octave values
- fill this array from the spectrum array data:
    - sum up all values in the spectrum array whose frequency belongs into 
      one specific octave value point. 
    - Put this sum into the octave value array. 
    - repeat this for all octave value points

If you Google on:

1/3 octave filter

you will find explanations of fractional octave filters, codes for such filters and homework
assignments to familiarize yourself with such filters.
