icon-wvs_v200.png

"Wavelet Voice Sonogram" has been updated to version 3.0 today!

"Wavelet Voice Sonogram" is an iPhone app that performs acoustic analysis of voice signals and displays a spectrogram.

A spectrogram is a graph showing the results of sound frequency spectrum analysis with time on the horizontal axis, frequency on the vertical axis, and signal strength represented by colors, and is used for voice analysis, voiceprint identification, and other purposes.

The application can perform acoustic analysis and display spectrograms using three time-frequency analysis techniques: Wavelet analysis, Octave-band analysis and FFT analysis.

It is easy to perform acoustic analysis of speech, instrumental sounds, noise, and so on. It can also be used for elementary learning of speech analysis.

In this latest version, the UI design has been updated and the stability of the application has been improved.

- Wavelet analysis

New updated iOS app - "Sound Lissajous Meter" ver 3.0

icon-lissa_v300.png

"Sound Lissajous Meter" has been updated to version 3.0 today!

"Sound Lissajous Meter" is an iPhone app that can display audio signals as Lissajous curves in real time.

"Lissajous" is a plane figure obtained by combining two single vibrations that oscillate at right angles to each other.

With the vertical axis as the microphone input signal and the horizontal axis as the reference sine wave, the Lissajous curve can be displayed as a two-dimensional curve.

lissa_oct_1khz_v300.jpg

For example, a sine wave of the same frequency as the reference sine wave can be played back from an audio system and its frequency and phase changes can be observed in the Lissajous curve pattern. If there is a lot of noise, it can be displayed more clearly by applying a filter.

lissa_scale_A4_v300.jpg lissa_scale_A4_filter_v300.jpg

In the case of an unknown sound source, the interrelationship of amplitude, frequency, and phase with a reference sine wave can be used to analyze the source.

"Octave-band Colored Noise" has been updated to version 2.0 today!

"Octave-band Colored Noise" is a new sound generator iPhone app that can generate various colored noises and octave-band noises.

It can be used for various purposes such as sound masking, sound effects for tinnitus relief and sleep, reference sound source for sound equipment measurement, sound tuning, and sound insulation effect measurement for buildings.

The latest version features improved performance and revamped UI design.

ocn_init_v200.png

It generates six types of color noise signal, white noise, pink noise, brown noise, blue noise, purple noise, and gray noise.

ocn_brown_v200.png ocn_blue_v200.png

ocn_purple_v200.png ocn_gray_v200.png

Furthermore, octave-band noise signals of various frequency bands can be generated by processing color noise signals with the 1/1 octave-band filter.

ocn_pink_oct_init_v200.png ocn_pink_oct_multi_2_v200.png

As an application, the octave-band noise is also useful to adjust the characteristics of the audibility of earphones or headphones. By selecting the pink noise and playing the 1/1 octave band noise in the order of 125Hz, 1KHz, 8kHz of the center frequency, you can determine the intensity of each frequency band on the audibility. If you know the characteristic of frequency band, you will be able to adjust the earphone in the equalizer to your favorite sound easily.

New updated iOS app - "High-Frequency Noise Monitor" ver 3.0

icon-hfnm_v300.png

"High-Frequency Noise Monitor" has been updated to version 3.0 now!

"High-Frequency Noise Monitor" is a high-frequency noise analysis tool that specializes in high-frequency bands above 8 kHz.

You may be exposed to artificial high-frequency noise on a daily basis that is inaudible to the human ear. This app allows you to monitor such high frequency noises and examine their occurrence.

In general, noise may contain relatively high frequency components depending on its source, and this is classified as high frequency noise.

For example, harmonic noise is radiated from the main body of an electronic device or the power lines of a power conversion device such as a AC-DC power adapter, and depending on its power level, it may affect peripheral devices.

There are also devices that generate high-frequency noise to drive away vermin such as rats and weasels. The frequency of the sound varies depending on the type of vermin, and some devices incorporate sensors to change the volume and frequency over time. When such devices are installed in the vicinity, there are cases where they can lead to noise problems with adverse effects on human health.

High-frequency noise does not often occur at a constant volume or frequency, but often occurs in a certain cycle or randomly. It is not easy to detect such high-frequency noise.

This app records randomly fluctuating high-frequency noise from the iPhone built-in microphone and performs frequency analysis in real time.

The latest version has an updated UI design and improved application stability.

hfnm_main_1a_v300.jpg

In addition, it retains the PCM data for 20 seconds just before the measurement is stopped, and displays a spectrogram by FFT or the octave band analysis.

The spectrogram is a graph showing the analysis results of the frequency spectrum of sound with time on the vertical axis, frequency on the horizontal axis, and signal strength in colors, allowing visual observation of the occurrence of high-frequency noise.

New updated iOS app - "Mosquitone Detector" version 4.0

icon-mtd_v400.png

"Mosquitone Detector"has been updated to version 4.0 today!

"Mosquitone Detector" is a sound measurement app that detects high-frequency noises and ultrasonic sounds hard to hear for human ears.
It may have been exposed to artificial high-frequency noise while you do not notice. This app can detect and visualize such high-frequency noises.

The latest version features a new UI design and improved stability. In addition, a measurement screen rotation function has been added.

mtd-detect-16k-1_v400.jpg mtd-search-16k-1_v400.jpg

# Detect mode : It can check if there are high frequency and ultrasonic sounds that you can not hear.

・Frequency spectrum (pie chart)
The pie chart displays a detailed frequency spectrum and is displayed in color gradation according to the intensity of the noise level for each frequency. Normal levels are blue to green, yellow for stronger vigilance levels, and red for stronger danger levels, as described below.

- Normal level (less than 75dB) : Blue / Green
- Warning level (75dB or more, less than 85dB) : Yellow
- Hazardous level (85dB or more) : Red

・Frequency band sound level (bar graph)
The bar graph is the frequency band sound level, and displays the noise status in 1kHz unit bands.
It detects the strongest high-frequency components and displays the peak frequency bar and measured values (frequency and level) as reference information. This peak frequency is constantly updated.

* Measurement case with high-frequency band above 16 kHz; high-frequency noise found around 21.3 kHz! As noise level is not so loud, the display range is adjusted and enlarged.

* Measurement case with high-frequency band below 16 kHz; high-frequency noise with large gain level was found around 15.1 kHz!

mtd-detect-8k-1_v400.jpg

# Search mode : It can find the direction of high-frequency sound source.

Tap "Start" button, hold the iPhone device firmly in your hand, and make one slow clockwise (rightward) rotation (360 degrees horizontally) to search for the direction of the high-frequency sound source. The red bar on the pie chart and the angle display show the direction of the sound source.
