5 AUDIO NOISE REDUCTION PRIMER This noise reduction primer is presented in an informal, easy-to-read manner to help you better understand the characteristics of sound, noise, and speech. The information given here is intended for those unfamiliar with audio clarification. For more thorough training in audio processing, DAC teaches DAC School courses that include lecture presentations and hands-on experiments. 5.1 SOUND Was that a sound? Sound is simply pressure waves in the air that are caused by some disturbance (such as a tree falling, a car crashing, or a person talking). In other words, something happens that causes the air to respond in a certain way that affects our ears and causes us to sense sound. At 70° F (21° C), these sound waves travel through the air at about 1130 feet per second (344 meters per second) or about 770 miles per hour. The rule of thumb we typically use is that sound moves at approximately one thousand feet per second or one foot per millisecond. Sound has two characteristics that are important to us when we are clarifying audio: energy and frequency. Energy is the strength of the signal, but we sometimes refer to it as level or (somewhat incorrectly) volume. We often measure the audio level in decibels (dB). High dB is loud, while low dB is quiet. Decibels are measured on a special logarithmic scale which enables us to use a practical range to indicate both very loud sounds and very soft sounds. Below are some common sounds and their dB level. 13
