Measuring the Pitch of Door Closing Sounds - The Sound Quality Issue of Door “Thump”

2007-05-15
2007-01-2216
The impetus for the investigation was a paper by Gardner and Magnasco. Their paper described an instantaneous frequency decomposition method that they used in the study of bird song and human speech. ...Two questions that immediately arise are can Gardner and Magnasco's technique resolve the low frequency components that occur in door closing sounds and, if so, do they relate to human perception of thump?
