Auditory demonstrations in Acoustics & Hearing conservation
A series of auditory demonstrations that illustrate fundamental concepts in acoustics (e.g., frequency, sound level, tonal and broadband noise sources, A-weighting, octave band filtering, audiometric test frequencies, and simulated hearing loss demonstrations). Narration tracks alternate with signal tracks to allow the collection to be used in its entirety as a stand-alone lesson as well as a source of independent sound files. This is downloadable - used to be a CD.
