Be aware that the maximum SPLs found may change from frequency to frequency due to the capabilities of the loudspeaker/subwoofer. What is important here is the locations of the peaks and valleys along with the difference between their SPLs. Compare the locations of where the peaks and valleys occur as well as the decibel differences between them.

Based on the frequency measurements, estimate the main frequency range of human speech. How does this compare with the frequency range of whistling? Of the sounds tested in the Tables, which appears the most like a pure sine wave? How much pitch range variation is there between the group members? What do you suppose might cause this variation?

      Loudspeakers are typically specified with nominal impedance, often 8 ohms or 4 ohms, although other values are possible. The actual impedance of a typical loudspeaker can vary widely from this rating....Loudspeakers are typically specified with nominal impedance, often 8 ohms or 4 ohms, although other values are possible. The actual impedance of a typical loudspeaker can vary widely from this rating. In the exercise we shall examine the impedance of two different permanent magnet-voice coil type transducers with respect to frequency. Devices of this type normally exhibit a resonant peak in the bass end and a gradual rise in magnitude as frequency increases.

On the back panel of the switchbox connect the output of the reference generator to input one of the switchbox with a BNC to BNC cable (the right side of the rear panel when viewed from the front). While comparing the reference to the second tone, adjust the amplitude (voltage) of the second tone so that the two tones sound as loud as each other.

The object of this exercise is to become familiar with the range frequencies produced by the human voice as well as the effect of additional harmonics or overtones. It is these overtones, collectively referred to as the timbre, that make dissimilar sounds at the same pitch sound different as well as appear different on an oscilloscope.

Peak-to-valley variation can exceed 10 dB which is clearly audible to even casual listeners. Generally, maximums will occur along wall, floor and ceiling boundaries, especially in the corners where these boundaries meet. The precise locations of peaks and valleys will depend on the room size, shape and construction; as well as the frequency being tested.
