Talk:Audio frequency

message: The range of a piccolo is D5-C7, altho in very rare cases, may i emphasize on the word VERY, a piccolo would be customized to play a the C5. yet it is generally accepted that the lowest not of the piccolo is D5
even in the obscure chance that this statement is "true" the notion of "the lowest note for a piccolo" is pointless and insignificant; i would suggest using another instrument or sound for C5. 
it might be helpful to put C7 as the highest note of the piccolo, again, that may not be the Theoratical high of the range of the picc. but it is generally accepted that anything above c7, are products of ignorant composers or the sheer joy a piccoloist gets by playing really high notes  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.130.32 (talk) 04:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lowest note for a piccolo 

message: An anonymous editor appears to have dedicated him-/herself to spamming talk pages with long lists of WikiProject banners.  This goes against the good advice at WP:WikiProject Council/Guide#Article_tagging and WP:WikiProject Council/Guide/WikiProject#Over-tagging, which recommends against speculatively spamming a long list of tangentially related WikiProjects to an article.
The editor often adds empty  lists and usually , even to empty talk pages, which also violates the instructions for their use.  
While WikiProject Medicine is normally happy to have articles obviously within its scope tagged by any editor, I have removed the WPMED tag from this article because it doesn't fall within the core "diseases and their treatments" scope of the project.  WikiProject Medicine does not support the inappropriate medicalization of everyday life.  (I may or may not have removed other banners at the same time.)  
If you believe that there is a significant medical connection to this subject that I've overlooked, please do not re-add the banner.  Instead, take these steps:
# Read Is WPMED the correct WikiProject to support this article?
# Read the instructions on the WPMED template.
# Then leave a message at the doctors' mess to ask whether the article falls within the scope of the project.
I continue to attempt to communicate with this anon editor, but the IP address changes very frequently, and efforts so far appear to be unsuccessful.  If the anon editor places the WPMED banner on this article again, I ask for your support in removing it again.  Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:01, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "32 to 512 	2nd to 5th 	Rhythm frequencies, where the lower and upper bass notes lie."
Utterly ridiculous. Calling anything above Middle-C (262Hz) a "bass" note is obvious nonsense. This article should either be fixed or just outright deleted.21:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Warning 

message: claims that this example is a B, not a C. Es anyone able to do a quick measurement to confirm or deny this. I've restored the example until this minor issue is resolved. --Kvng (talk) 18:29, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My professional audio analysis computer application sets this tone at 4185.1 or 4185.2 Hz, depending on a couple of settings on the analyzer, well within a reasonable error range of 4186 Hz which is C8. The example deserves to stay. Binksternet (talk) 07:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  C8 example 

message: there seems to be quite a bit of noise in the C10 example. I ran it through an analyzer (Amadeus) and there are additional frequencies at (roughly) 7,800, 6,200, 5,400, and 2,840 Hz. While C10 seems to be at my upper hearing threshold and therefore rather weak, these lower frequencies are quite discernible. (kind of a whispering static sound) Are these artifacts due to ogg compression or 44.1 kHz resolution (beat frequencies, perhaps?) or could they be eliminated? (they are presesnt in other samples, too, but there the main frequency is loud enough to overpower them...) -- megA (talk) 09:28, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noise in C10 example 

message: There is a big difference between the examples of frequencies stated in the first diagram and the second one, the one with the sound files. As you can read the article begins saying that " from 1024 to 2048 (Hz) | 6th to 7th |	Defines human speech intelligibility, gives a horn-like or tinny quality to sound." Then it says that "C6  1046.50 Hz  Approximately the highest note reproducible by the average female human voice." So, one of them must be wrong, or maybe both.
Please correct this contradiction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.139.106.222 (talk) 04:32, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Human voices carry more than one frequency. The lowest frequency is usually the one we talk about, but the voice is composed of that low frequency, which varies during speech, and multiples of that low frequency. The multiples are called harmonics or overtones. These higher frequencies are crucial to intelligibility. Binksternet (talk) 04:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Article is not coherent

message: Above all there article seems to be exclusively about human perceived range and then falls short of even adequately exploring that. 92.40.254.144 (talk) 14:24, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article reads like high school homework 

message: Is there any reason why Wikipedia includes both this article "Audio frequency" and a separate article on "Hearing range", covering fairly similar matter? 86.16.3.237 (talk) 11:10, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hearing range is a survey of audio frequencies for different critters. This article is human centric. We could merge the material in this article into Hearing_range#Humans but I think that would cause an WP:UNDUE issue there. ~Kvng (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: I'm over 30 and I still regularly encounter painful high-pitched noises. :( I was looking forward to hearing loss, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I'll see if I can find some citations before editing the article...
