Audacity Software Analysis In Analyzing The Frequency And Character Of The Sound Spectrum

Abstract

In the process of learning physics, experiments are needed that can help someone in gaining a deeper understanding of learning physics concepts and using technology in the learning process, especially learning sound waves. In this study, the aim is to be able to analyze the sound frequency with the help of Audacity software. Subjects used are 5 different cat sounds. The implementation of this research uses several tools such as a microphone, Audacity software on a laptop, and 5 cat sounds. This experiment was carried out by bringing the micro hope closer to the cat with 5 cm so that the sound was captured by the microphone which would later be transferred to the laptop and read by the audacity software. Furthermore, the data recorded in audacity were analyzed. From the results of the study, it can be said that a tool that can be used in practicum and can read and capture sound waves is effectively used in analyzing sound frequency, spectrum in the application of sound learning so that it can be used as one of the learning media in practicum on sound wave material at Junior high school.

Experiment to Determine the Relationship Between Temperature and Tuning Fork Frequency

“…Step c: Processing of experimental audio recordings by selecting the best audio recording that has a duration of 1 second. Then analyzing the spectrum plot using audacity software which will display the frequency value of the recorded audio by looking at the highest peak in the spectrum plot process [32]- [34], [37].…”

Using Sundanese Musical Instrument and Audacity Software to Learn About Sound Waves

“…The software can facilitate students analyze the frequency properly. Audacity can measure the soundproduced frequency and the sound intensity produced by the source [16]. The level of sound intensity produced significantly differs because the air in the environment is not constant, thus affecting the intensity of the sound produced.…”

“…Using technology is essential to bring students closer to the sound produced by traditional musical instruments. Audacity is an advanced tool that can be adapted because the software is suitable for teaching and helping students understand the signal of voice and noise [16]. Audacity software has measured the frequency of Gamelan and Bonang [17] as Central Java musical instruments.…”
