    • 13.1: Frequency and pitch- How do we know?
      This page explores sound's frequency-pitch relationship, showcasing historical inventions like the Savart Wheel and siren disks that demonstrate how vibration frequencies affect musical pitch. It also details practical applications, such as rumble strips and “singing roads,” examining how car speed and bump spacing create sound through specific calculations.
    • 13.2: Sound Texture
      This page explores the aural texture of four key periodic waveforms: sine, triangle, square, and sawtooth. It identifies the sine waveform as essential for constructing other waveforms via harmonic summation in the Fourier Series. The page emphasizes timbre, the richness of sound, and explains its dependence on the amplitude of harmonics in the Fourier sum.
    • 13.3: Harmonic Series I- Timbre and Octaves
