Unreferenced date July 2009 for the band Puretone Josh G. Abrahams A puretone is a tone with a sinusoidal waveform . A sine wave is characterized by its frequency , the number of cycles per second or its wavelength , the distance the waveform travels through its medium within a period and the amplitude , the size of each cycle. A puretone has the unique property that its waveshape and sound are changed only in amplitude and phase by linear acoustic systems. A pure sine wave is an artificial sound. Hermann von Helmholtz is credited as the first creator of a sine wave with the Helmholtz Siren noisemaker siren , a mechanical device that sends compressed air through holes in a rotating plate. This is presumably the closest thing to a sine wave that was heard before the invention of electronic oscillator s. Sinewaves are generally uncomfortable to the ear, ? if all the pure tones are represented as sinewaves of varying periodicity then this statement is contradictory. I.e. music is pleasant to the ear. and may cause noise induced hearing loss reference? at lower volumes than other noises Citation needed date June 2010 . Sound localization is often more difficult with sine waves than with other sounds they seem to fill the room . Fourier theorem The Fourier theorem states that any periodic waveform can be approximated as closely as desired as the sum of a series of sine waves with frequencies in a harmonic series mathematics harmonic series and at specific phase waves phase relationships to each other. The lowest of these frequencies the fundamental frequency , which is also the inverse of the period of the waveform, determines the pitch music pitch of the tone, which is perceived by the human hearing. In music, note s are assigned to tones with different fundamental frequencies, in order to describe the pitch of played tones.

A reference tone is a puretone corresponding to a known frequency, and produced at a stable sound pressure level volume , usually by specialized equipment. In media The most common reference tone in audio engineering is a Audio 1000Hz.ogg 1000 Hz tone at 0 Decibel dB . It is meant to be used by audio engineers in order to adjust the playback equipment so that the accompanying Electronic media media is at a comfortable volume for the audience. In video production , this tone is usually accompanied by a test card so the video signal may be calibrated as well. It is sometimes played in sequence between a 100 Hz and 10 kHz tone to ensure an accurate response from the equipment at varying audio frequencies. This is also the bleep censor bleep tone commonly used to Censorship censor obscene or sensitive audio content. In music Many electronic tuner s used by musicians emit a tone of A440 pitch standard 440Hz , corresponding to a pitch music pitch of A above Middle C A4 .

When two tones are played simultaneously, a listener can sometimes perceive an additional tone whose frequency is a sum or difference of the two frequencies. The discovery of some of these phenomena is credited to the violinist Giuseppe Tartini , and so the tones are also called Tartini tones . One way a difference tone can be heard is when two tones with fairly complete sets of harmonics make a just fifth . This can be explained as an example of the missing fundamental phenomenon. ref Beament, James 2001 . How We Hear Music , page needed date October 2010 . The Boydell Press.

Tone terracing is a type of phonetics phonetic downdrift , where the high or mid tone linguistics tones , but not the low tone, shift downward in pitch downstep phonetics downstep after certain other tones. The result is that a tone may be realized at a certain pitch over a short stretch of speech, shifts downward and then continues at its new level, then shifts downward again, until the end of the prosodic unit prosodic contour is reached, at which point the pitch reset s. A graph of the change in pitch over time of a particular tone resembles a terrace agriculture terrace . Since the pitch of the low tone remains more or less constant at the lower end of the speaker s vocal range, while the other tones shift downward, the difference in their pitches narrows, eventually obscuring the tones altogether. At this point pitch reset is required if the tone system is to continue functioning. Tone terracing is particularly common in the languages of West Africa , where typically only the low tone causes downstep. However, a somewhat more intricate system is found in the Twi language of Ghana ..., may only start with a high tone or a low tone on its first syllable. As in many languages, a low tone starts out and remains at the bottom of the speaker s range. After a low tone, a subsequent high tone is downstepped.
