Good day for everyone, A question: How to convert a sound pressure level value in dB rms to the level in dB 0 to Peak value (having a values reference 1 micro Pascal)? As I recognized the relation for amplitude rms x 0.707 is valid for voltage values but that is different. D. _____________________________ Posted through www.DSPRelated.com

hi NG I want to develop an small extern device with a small DSP for improving audio with dynamic compression, noise gating and sound schemes. But before I can start with the hardware and software of the DSP I want to test different algorithms on the PC. Unfortunately I didn't find anything which can help me for this project in the internet. Now my question: Does anyone know good sour...

A Sound Mathematical Basis For Sampling - Lesson 3 -------------------------------------------------- Good Morning, once again, Boys and Girls! I'm sorry that I got called away yesterday; SWMBO, indeed, MBO! Today I'll derive for you the mathematics of sampling, based on an analysis of the circuits that we actually use, rather than on some dubious mathematics (I will show later why i...
Simple question regarding frequency detection

Hi, I am writing an application to detect a particular frequency(viz. 4.5 Khz) in an input audio signal. I have written the code to capture the sound using a microphone; but I have to properly design a digital filter which will return TRUE as soon as it detects sound of this frequency in the input signal. Also my project demands that I have to detect the signal by looking at a very small num...

Hi. I have posted two messages, but I can?t get this working. I mean, I'm getting the buffer from the sound card, and then I perform the goertzel algorithm with this, but the data I get is wrong almost all times. The steps are: Data: Buffer Size: 4096 Kb, N=4096, Sample Rate = 22050, Format: 16 bits 1) When I get the buffer completely filled, I read the buffer (two bytes a time) convertin...

Please excuse this beginner question. I have about a minute's worth of sound data taken by a microphone and recorded into a file. The sound field has one frequency of interest and some random noise (at a lower magnitude than the random noise). My sample rate is about 6x the frequency of interest. I want to show the change in the frequency of interest alone. I am thinking to perfo...

A while ago I posted a question about how to extract pitch information from the messy sound of an engine. It was for an iPhone app I have developed which displays the RPM of an engine based on the sound it makes. Vladimir and other suggested autocorrelation as used in pitch detection in speech. Thanks, guys! After a long time struggling with various ad hoc ways to qualify peaks in the FFT...

Is anybody using Sound Forge (v5 and above) and Acoustic Mirror to calculate impulse responses from sweeps? I bought the old stand alone Acoustic Modeler DX plugin from Sonic Foundry when they marketed it separately and it won't process recorded files or test sweeps or produce impulse responses over 16 bits. I'd like to know if the newer versions that are only bundled with Sound Fo...

i have been reading a lot of messages on spectral subtraction and how it is useful in reducing background noise. i have tried this in matlab and i was highly successful in attenuating the noise from a sound file. but when i tried this with another sound file instead of noise the signal was not attenuated at all. in fact both of the signals could be heard perfectly well; and i can say pretty...

As the title, I am willing to program in C language to use a sound card as a data acquisition system with the function of pretrigger, as used in Matlab. I have been searching on the internet for long time, but no useful information. There are some shareware of soft ocsiscope. Any idea? Thank you very much.

Hello, I have written a simple sound editor for my university project that can read a .Wav file and saves its format and wave form data in arrays. Now I want to add capability to perform some effect on waveform data .I have written a Fade-In/Fadeout effect myself. but when I tried to find algorithms for other effects in internet I got confused! I almost know nothing about DSP or advanced sou...

Hello. I'm an undergraduate working on a project to build a home security system using DSP and NI's Speedy-33 board. My question is : 1) how can I detect breaking glass sound using LabView? 2) how to connect external hardware(e.g siren, lights) to the Speedy-33 board that will be activated if breaking glass is detected. Thank you.

Hi, I need to build a digital filter for a sound signal. The SIF filter must remove the video portion of the channel and be compatible with worldwide standards and have good rejection. From Matlab, it looks like this requires a tremendous amount of coefficients if built using FIR. So I wonder, does anyone know if a SIF filter MUST be linear phase? Or can it be done using an IIR? And what wou...

Hi, im working on a schoolproject to render sound in a virtual environment. To do that i calculate sound propagation paths. At the moment i model wall soundabsorption with onepole lowpass filters. Some paths bounce of several walls, causing several onepole filters working in series. I update my paths at about 25Hz and filtering i do in timedomain at 44100Hz. Now i would like to replace t...

Hi to all, I need to implement a time variable delay on dsp in order to simulate the doppler effect of a sound source coming nearer and moving away. If I just pick the from the buffer the sample with delay corresponding to (distance of source)/(speed of sound), I get clicks when moving from one position to an other. What's the proper way (preferably not too expensive) to implement such a ...

Hi all, I have a need to sample audio from my sound card and process it. However, the hardware I am processing it on works faster in complex domain than real domain. I know this may sound funny, but it is true. Read on... In essence, I need to convert a real stream sampled at N to a complex stream sampled at N/2. Not sure what the best way to do this is or if it can even be don...
