    What Is Frequency?

    Uploaded by

    Frequency is the number of cycles per second of compression and rarefaction of air that produces a sound. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), with the normal human hearing range being 20-20,000 Hz. Frequency determines the pitch of a sound.

    What is Frequency?

     Frequency is the number of times the cycle of compression and rarefaction of air
    occurs in a given unit of time is describe as the frequency of a sound. For example,
    if there are 1000 cycles in the period of one second the frequency is 1000 cps
    (1000 Hertz-Hz in the new standard nomenclature.
     Rate of repetition of a periodic phenomenon (determines the pitch of a sound)
     Number of displacement or oscillations that a particle undergoes in one sound.
     Unit of frequency = Hertz (Hz)
     Normal responds to sound within the audio frequency range of about 20 – 20000 Hz

    Airborne Noise is due to fluctuations of air pressure about the mean atmospheric pressure.

    Flanking Paths
    F1– Open plenums over wall and through
    suspended ceilings
    F2 – Common ductwork
    F3 – Adjacent exterior windows
    F4 – Common floor heaters
    F5 – Open vents
    F6 – Louvered Doors
    F7 – Under doors
    Noise Leaks
    L1 – Poor seal at wall/ceiling connection
    L2 – Poor seal at wall/wall connection
    L3 – Poor seal at wall/mullion connection
    L4 – Poor seal around outlet penetration (also
    avoid back-to-back outlets
    L5 – Poor seal wall penetration
    L6 – Poor seal floor penetration
    L7 – Poor seal wall/floor connection

    Structural borne noise is the


    vibration of elastic bodies. It
    travels through walls, floor, and
    columns.
    Liquid borne noise is cause by pulsations
    of liquid pressure about the mean static
    pressure. Rapid pressure changes
    produce more noise. Large and rapid
    changes in pressure produce
    "cavitation" sound.

    Ultrasound is noises of
    frequency greater than 20,000
    cyc/sec. Sounds in the range
    20-100kHz are commonly used
    for communication and
    navigation by bats, dolphins,
    and some other species

    Infrasound is noise of frequency less


    than 2- cyc/sec. (below the normal lower
    limit of the human ear). Sources of
    infrasound in nature include volcanoes,
    avalanches, earthquakes and meteorites.
