In this post I’ll be using two USB microphones to record audio, one for the intended sounds I wanted to record, the other to capture background noise that I want to filter out. I’m using two cheap USB embedded microphones that I bought for less than $10 each, http://a.co/eIsnp3Z. The machine I’m recording on is a Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubnutu Mate. Since the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have an audio in device built in, I selected the USB microphones. These…
This post will be quick and to the point. We’ll be using SoX to bring high frequency audio, commonly referred to as ultrasound, down to a range that can be heard. First thing I did to validate the process was generate an ultrasonic data file using Audacity. The problem with the standard 44.1k sampling rate is ultrasound frequencies will be dropped. I created my data files with a sampling rate of 192k. play “/home/local/Desktop/Ultrasound/Audacity192k_33khz.wav” Playing audio from this sample is…
In this post I’ll cover how to use SoX to make low frequency sounds audible in a range that can be listened to. Infrasound is a low frequency sound wave that ranges from 20 hertz down to .1 hertz. Monitoring audio frequencies in this range is typically done to detect seismic activity that is caused either by nature or artificially, https://www.isla.hawaii.edu/sounds/ocean-sounds/. I have a sample of video that was shot with a Mobius camera. The audio range of the camera’s…
