Mathematica Asked by nxt191 on May 22, 2021
I don’t really know much above Fourier Transform , or how it’s used in Mathematica but I want to know how I can find out, out of which Sin-waves a (static) sound is made of.
So for example I take “G” played by a Violin
Sound[SoundNote["G", 1, "Violin"]]
Because this isn’t a pure tone, I want to know, which frequencies are present in which “strength”.
My Questions:
How do I get this information?
How do I plot that? (I think it’s called “Frequency-Domain”)
How do I plot all the involved frequencies together?
I know, this may be simple for some people, but I have neither much know-how in Mathematica, nor do I know how to use Fourier Transform at all.
Hope you can help me, nxt191 aka Marc
Unfortunately I don't think that Mathematica really knows anything about the frequency content of SoundNote
objects. They are not audio files (recorded in the time domain), but more like MIDI objects. (In fact I think they're 'sonified' by sending them as MIDI events to the OS.)
You can, however, do a fourier transform on an audio file. Either import your own with Import
, or use one of the example sounds:
sound = ExampleData[{"Sound", "ViolinScale"}]
We can extract the list of samples from the single SampledSoundList
inside this Sound
object:
samples = sound[[1, 1, 1]];
We can also extract the sample rate:
sampleRate = sound[[1, 2]];
From here we can compute the FFT and plot:
fft = Fourier[samples];
ListLogPlot[Abs[fft]^2, PlotRange -> All,
DataRange -> {0, (1 - 1/Length[samples]) sampleRate}]
There is a lot of other analysis you can do, but that should get you started.

This is easy to do now with Mathematica's Audio
support introduced in v11.0 in 2016 - though note Spectrogram
was available in 2012 v9.0:
au = Audio[Sound[SoundNote["G", 1, "Violin"]]];
Spectrogram[au]
(* ... or if you want an array ... *)
spectrogramData = SpectrogramArray[au];

Another option is to use the Periodogram function:
sound = ExampleData[{"Sound", "ViolinScale"}];
Periodogram[sound,
Frame -> True,
Axes -> None,
BaseStyle -> {14, FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontColor -> Black},
FrameStyle -> Directive[Black, 14],
FrameLabel -> {"Freq (Hz)", "dB"}]
