Website Detail Page

published by the Cambridge Street Publishing
If you've ever wondered how the sounds you hear relate to changes in air pressure, you'll enjoy this site, produced by Simon Fraser University. It provides a description of waveform, which shows how sound pressure changes over time, with links to explanations of numerous related terms like sound pressure, amplitude, and the law of superposition.  Most importantly, the site includes sound clips of various waveforms such as sine, sawtooth, and triangle waves.
