What has higher frequency A4 or A5?

A4 =440hZ A5 =880HZ


Does a note with a frequency of 440 vibration per sec sounds at a higher pitch than a note at 220 vibration per sec?

Yes. Both frequencies are actually A (La) but an octave apart. The mentioned 440Hz will be the A4 (5th A on a 88 key piano) while the fourth A on the piano sounds at 220Hz.


What is the difference between harmonics and fundamental frequency?

The fundamental is the lowest frequency; the harmonics are all multiples of that frequency. For example, if you play a concert A (440Hz) on a trumpet, the harmonics of that tone would be at 880, 1320, 1760, 2200, 2640, 3080, 3520, 3960, 4400Hz, and so on.In most cases, people do not perceive the harmonics as separate pitches, but as part of the sound. They give the tone its distinctive timbre--in this example, the sound of a trumpet. However, if there are objects nearby, such as strings, bells or even glassware, which are resonant at one of the harmonic frequencies, they can be excited by the tone and will continue to "ring" after the note stops. A resonant filter can be used to pick out the harmonics, as well. The harmonics can also be visualized on an audio spectrometer.Harmonics are not limited to sound waves; they can be present in any periodic motion or waveform, including radio waves.


The term is used to indicate the frequency level of a sound.?

Tough one! You see, there is a term for both thefrequency and the level. The most common term for the frequency would be the "Pitch" of the sound, and the frequency unit of measurement is the Hertz (cycles per second) or Hz. It is an accepted standard that the average Human can hear a spectrum from 20Hz (really low pitch) to 20kHz (really high pitch). The level of sound is commonly referred to as the "Loudness" and is measured in Decibels (db) and the most common measuring device is called an SPL (sound pressure level) Meter. So...If you were describing, lets say, a very loud "A" note above middle "C", the description could look like this; 440Hz @ +110db. Dave Bowling (db)

How do you get a snark tuner to work for a b flat trumpet?

The default setting is for A major at 440Hz but there is a transpose function which will allow you to flatten it by 2 semitones so it will display correctly for a trumpet.


The number of vibrations every second in sound?

It depends how high the sound is, the a above middle C is 440Hz (vibrations/second) and there are 110Hz in an octave. From there you can work out the Hz of any note.

The A just above middle C on the piano keyboard. This is approximately 440Hz. The frequency, curiously, varies a bit regionally/nationally. In Europe, for example, it's typically a few Hz higher.


How many ways are there to reduce the frequency of a guitar?

Yes, you can try other frequencies if your tuner supports this. Look into 432hz which is lower than the standard 440hz. It's also called the classical tuning and slightly lower than 440.


How is playing cello related to math?

The frequency of the vibrations by the strings and the sound that it produces can be divided (or multiplied) into smaller (or larger) frequencies. The changed frequencies make notes. For example, middle C has a frequency of 278.4375 Hz and the A above that has a frequency of 440Hz.


What does musical note B flat major sound like?

B flat major is a scale, which is a series of notes played in succesion, going up and down. The musical note B flat is just one frequency which is a semitone above A. Concert A (the most used middle A) is at 440Hz.
