Subject: Re: Generating sine waves with Winsound From: Eckard Blumschein <Eckard.Blumschein(at)E-TECHNIK.UNI-MAGDEBURG.DE> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 12:12:07 +0100Marco, Could you perhaps try Gaussian pulses, instead? In MATLAB, this would not be a problem. Alternatively, you may try and empirically correct for some frequency dependent phase shift in the acoustic chain. Nonetheless I guess, one always hears something like a click in response to a sudden onset of any sound pressure waveform because perception includes not just rather sluggish cortical but also rapid SOC response. In alt.sci.physics.acoustics, I just tried to explain my somewhat unusual but hopefully plausible point of view concerning some main basics of hearing. Look for the thread 12.12.03, Chris Woods: Physics, Oscilloscopes and the Guitar A Note. Anybody may ask me for a copy of my manuscript "The natural spectrogram: "No arbitrary window, no trade-off" as well as for a related powerpoint presentation, also in English. Those who read German may benefit from my DAGA'03 (Aachen) articles: "Neues zu Hoerphaenomenen und -mechanismen" and "Mathematik und akustische Realitaet". Among FCT and cepstrum stuff you will find my explanation why both Peter Cariani and Christian Kaernbach were correct in their extensive dispute on autocorrelation. Hopefully, I will be able to resume my unjamming forum on Auditory Function soon: http://iesk.et.uni-magdeburg.de/~blumsche/ Good luck and a Happy New Year, Eckard Blumschein (living near to a 7 Tesla tomograph)
