Silence suppression Silence suppression is achieved by recognizing the lack of speech through a speech processing mechanism called voice activity detection (VAD) which dynamically monitors background noise and sets a corresponding speech detection threshold. This technique is also known as speech activity detection (SAD). Silence suppression is a way to save bandwidth when conducting voice communications‚ or at least audio communications‚ over the Internet; it’s an advantage for businesses‚ especially

Weird Animals Lesser water boatman ( Micronecta scholtzi): The loudest penis on Earth The lesser water boatman‚ just 2 millimetres long‚ is the loudest animal on Earth and more impressive fact is that he makes its noises using its penis instead of its mouth or legs or wings. James Windmill‚ engineering expert‚ in mid-2011 from the Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering at the University of Strathclyde (Scotland) reported in PLoS One that the lesser water boatman can produce sounds

Ultra sounds. Fetus – develops its own character within the womb. Subjective and Objective – the women is being objected because we can not see her. The idea of the ultra sounds is seen to be an un natural theory The power of the relationship and the power of looking at an image between the Mother and the baby. Technology is developing so we can an ideal visual of the fetus and a better understanding and clearer image of the fetus. “the window” was created so that we can visualize the baby

Have you ever wondered why your voice matures when you get older? Well that’s because your vocal cords grow longer making you voice deeper. A male’s voice gets way deeper than a female’s voice though. A male’s larynx grows bigger during puberty making the voice deeper. For some people‚ if you sing‚ that means that your vocal range can increase easily. But if you don’t sing‚ it isn’t necessary for your vocal range to increase. As you grow older‚ your larynx hardens making your voice seem a little

Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a Speech-Language Pathologist‚ also called speech and language therapist‚ or speech therapist‚ who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders. The components of speech production include: phonation‚ producing sound; resonance; fluency; intonation‚ variance of pitch; and voice‚ including aeromechanical components of respiration. The components of language include:

In the video “Why do whales sing?”‚ the speaker mentions that whales sing to communicate with one another. First of all‚ due to the fact that light and smell do no travel well in the water‚ most of marine animals rely on sound‚ which can travel four times faster in water than in the air. Especially‚ whales communicate by using sound very skillfully as if they sang. According to the video‚ unlike land mammals‚ who generate sounds by exhaling air‚ whales produce sounds by using an organ called “Laryngeal

Strings: For a common acoustic guitar‚ there are six strings. These strings‚ either made of nylon or steel string acoustics‚ are tuned low E‚ A‚ D‚ G‚ B‚ and high E respectively. Subsequently‚ four factors determine the pitch when the strings are plucked: mass‚ tension‚ length‚ and mode of vibration. For instance‚ if you were to have a heavy string‚ it would take a longer time to vibrate‚ thus‚ giving it a lower frequency. And vice versa. However‚ frequency is not only limited to string

Design of a Speaker Recognition Code using MATLAB E. Darren Ellis Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering University of Tennessee‚ Knoxville Tennessee 37996 (Submitted: 09 May 2001) This project entails the design of a speaker recognition code using MATLAB. Signal processing in the time and frequency domain yields a powerful method for analysis. MATLAB ’s built in functions for frequency domain analysis as well as its straightforward programming interface makes it an ideal tool

“Crickets jingle here.” Onomatopoeia This sentence was described in the lines where the soldier had a flash back where he used to live. Jingle is like a sound of a bell vibrating‚ like in occasions in Christmas which is the most important holiday in England. When the people hear the bell jingle; it’s echoing and creating a melody and some kind of music inside the sound. The writer’s linking the crickets with the jingle sound could be because the crickets sound also echo and create some kind of melody
