[Setup Time: 20 Min.] [Current Condition: Unknown- in principle I could try and set up something with an oscilliscope that does FFT's, but please give advanced warning if you'd like me to try]
A sonometer computer program breaks up a sound (instrument, voice, tuning fork, etc.) into its Fourier components. The program shows the frequency of the harmonics on the y-axis as time scrolls through on the x-axis. The amplitude is displayed at the top of the screen in a graph showing the loudness of the sound on the y-axis as time scrolls through on the x-axis. The image from the computer is displayed onto a TV screen.
1. Connect the microphone to the computer and use the spectrograph program.
[Note: Suggest to use application SPEAR available as a free download from this website. Significant preparation time will be involved.
