Detailedexplanation

Tonecoloristheattributeofsound(namelyloudness,Pitch,timbre),mainlydeterminedbyitsovertone.Thedifferencebetweeneachperson'svoiceandthesoundproducedbyvariousmusicalinstrumentsiscausedbythedifferenceintimbre.

Thejuniorhighschoolphysicstextbookstipulatesthatthequalityofsoundiscalledtimbre,alsocalledtimbre,whichreflectsthesoundmadebyeachobjectUniquequality.

Toneintroduction

Timbremeansthatdifferentsoundsalwayshavedifferentcharacteristicsintermsofwaveform,anddifferentobjectvibrationshavedifferentcharacteristics.

Differentsound-producingbodieshavedifferenttimbresduetotheirdifferentmaterialsandstructures.Forexample,piano,violinandpeoplemakedifferentsounds,andeveryonemakesdifferentsounds.Toneisthecharacteristicofsound,anditisalwaysdifferentliketheappearanceofpeopleallovertheworld.Accordingtodifferenttimbres,eveninthecaseofthesamepitchandthesamesoundintensity,wecandistinguishthattheyaremadebydifferentinstrumentsorpeople.Justliketheever-changingcolorpalette,the"timbre"willalsobeever-changingandeasytounderstand.

Thetimbreisalsocalledtimbre.Whyisthetonedifferent?Itisbecausedifferentvibrationscanalwaysbecombinedintodifferentsounds.Everymusicalinstrument,thevocalcordsofdifferentpeople,andallotherobjectsthatcanvibratecanemitdifferentsoundswiththeirowncharacteristics.Thesesoundscanalsohaveinstrumentsthatdisplaywaveforms.Inadditiontoa'fundamentalsound',thesoundalsonaturallyaddsmanydifferent'frequency'(thenumberoftimesthevibratingobjectvibratesin1second)andtheovertone'intertwining',whichdeterminesthedifferenttimbre,sothatpeoplecandistinguishitafterlistening.It'sadifferentvoice.It'slikedistinguishingbetweendifferent‘identitycards’.Forexample,ifyouhearaperson’sspeechorsinging,youcantellwhichpersonitis?Everyoneintheworldhasadifferenttoneeveniftheypronouncethesameword‘huh’.

Soundisproducedbythevibrationofthesound-producingobject.Whentheobjectvibrates,itwillemitafundamentalsound.Atthesametime,eachpartofitalsohascompoundvibration,andthesoundproducedbythevibrationofeachpartiscombinedintoanovertone.Allthedifferentovertoneshaveashorterwavelengththanthefundamentaltone,andtheirintensityisquiteweak,soitcan'tcoverthestrongerfundamentaltone,andthemusiciancanadjustthepitchoftheinstrument.

(Payspecialattentiontothesoundcolorisnotthesoundquality.Thegeneralmeaningof"soundquality"iswhetherthesoundqualityisgoodornot.Forexample,aperson’svoicechangesaftercatchingacold,especiallywhensingingisunpleasant.Itiscalled“soundquality”It’sbad,butyoucan’tsaythataseriesof'8’isthebest.It’sjustamatterofgoodpsychologicalfeeling.Thekeyliesinthegoodengine.

ToneAnalysis

Thevibrationofthepronunciationbodyiscomposedofavarietyofovertones,amongwhichtherearefundamentalandovertones.Thedifferenceinovertonesdeterminesaspecifictimbre.Thetimbreislikenedtothe'thingsproducedbythepalette',andthetypesarealmostendlessYes.Candirectlytouchthedynamicauditorysenses.Generallyspeaking,people’sabilitytodistinguishtimbrefromotheranimalsis“instinct”.Thetimbreofmusicisdividedintohumantimbreandinstrumentaltimbre.Humanvoiceishigh,mid-range,low-pitched,andtherearemalesandfemales.Dividedinto;instrumentaltimbreismainlydividedintostringedinstrumentsandwindinstruments,andthetimbresofvariouspercussioninstrumentsarealsodifferent.

Inanutshell,timbre=puretone+transformation+mixingmethod.

Theso-calledfrequencyspectrumisactuallyavarietyofpuretonesofdifferentfrequencies,whichareformedtogetherindifferentgradientsandinacertainproportion.

Theroleoftoneishuge,anditstypecanbeexplainedbythefollowingformula:

1.Sound=music+noise

2.Music=source+beat

3.Source=tone+loudness+timbre

4.Tone=puretone+transformation+mixingmethod

Specifically,thetypeoftoneisdeterminedbythecharacteristicsofthevibrationsourceandtheshapeoftheformant.Intermsofthevibrationsource,Theovertoneintensitydecaysquickly,thetimbreisverysoft,suchasvocalsandstringsTheovertoneintensitydecaysslowly,andthesoundisveryhard,suchaswoodwindinstruments(especiallyoboeandsaxophone).Inthecaseofresonancecavity,theformantappearsatalowerfrequency,andthesoundismagnificent,suchasatrumpet;whentheformantappearsatahigherfrequency,thesoundiscold,suchasapiano.Sometimbreshavemultiplecharacteristics.Forexample,thevocaltoneissoftandround,thetrumpetisstrongandhard,andtheFrenchhornisstrongandroundatthesametime.
