What is acoustic jitter?

Acoustic jitter refers to small, rapid variations in the timing of sound wave production, which can occur in various acoustic systems. These fluctuations can cause inconsistencies in the playback of audio signals, leading to distortion and perceived degradation in sound quality. Acoustic jitter is often influenced by factors such as environmental conditions, mechanical vibrations, and electronic interference. In digital audio systems, minimizing jitter is crucial for maintaining audio fidelity.
