This is an open-book, graded assignment. Please cite all references as comments in your

submissions. You cannot directly reuse a solution from online sources or AI. You must not engage

with another student, in person or electronically (via phone, social media, etc.), to secure

assistance with this Assignment. If you do so (even for only one of the questions), you will receive

an automatic failure (0%), and it will also be reported to the Executive Vice-Dean of MIEC and/or

Maynooth University Plagiarism board. We will perform similarity checks on submitted

assignments to check for collaborative efforts. The lecturer reserves the right to interview you

about your submission in special cases. It should be mentioned that the Turnitin tool provided in

Moodle can detect AI-generated context.

The first assignment is to use the programs in Java, processing, Python, or Octave/MATLAB to

prepare a narrative on digital waveforms and spectral analysis using the FFT and the Spectrogram

to demonstrate your knowledge of how they work. Make sure that each plot can clearly illustrate

the shape of the waveform, i.e. if you have to zoom in to get this, do so. A thick coloured block is

not acceptable. The results from your plotting should be placed into a PowerPoint presentation,

and along with the plot, a sound file should be inserted into the page (it should be imported as

mp3 to save space). The documents should also show on the following slide to each plot the

programming scripts to generate the wave and its graph. The graphs should have titles, labelled

axes and a caption in the document (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2).

Waveforms

1. Generate and plot one example of the waveform of a sinusoid at a frequency, amplitude,

and phase of your choice. Show the waveform from time t=0. Select the frequency of the

sinewave from the set of musical notes

Make sure to give the frequency of the wave in the title of the plot.

2. Generate and plot an example of waveforms composed of sinusoids at harmonically

related frequencies to create either a sawtooth wave, a square wave or a triangle wave.

3. Read in a wav file of an “effect”/natural sound and plot only 20 seconds of it.

4. Read in a wav file of a Speech utterance (it could be from the web or recorded by yourself)

and plot it (approx. 2-5 seconds), put the text of the utterance in the title of the plot. Page 2 of 2

Fourier transform

5. Plot the magnitude of the Fourier transform (FFT) of a signal composed of more than one

sinusoid of different frequencies and amplitudes using a rectangular window. Use an FFT

length of N=256 and then N=2048.

6. Plot the magnitude of the Fourier transform (FFT) of the same signal composed of more

than one sinusoid of different frequencies and amplitudes using a Hanning window. Use an

FFT length of N=256 and then N=2048.

7. Record at least 1 second of you saying any vowel sound using Audacity or an equivalent

software. Use the editor to retain only the steady portion of the vowel waveform. Plot the

magnitude of the Fourier transform of this, picking a suitable value for N (e.g. 256, 512,

1024 2048) so that it is easy to identify at least two formant peaks form the spectrum.

Spectrogram

8. Plot the spectrogram of the speech waveform you used earlier for a short window N=256

and a long window N=1024. Identify the voiced and unvoiced speech in the plot.

9. Plot the spectrogram of a sound effect that has distinctive frequency components, e.g. a

bird sound, a chainsaw, a car starting, clock strike. Pick an appropriate window length for

the frequency components to be clearly displayed. Make sure to mention the window

length in the title of the plot

10. Plot the spectrogram of a short drum loop of your choice with N=256 and N=2048 to show

that the shorter window means a better time resolution, and thus, the points in time of the

drum hits are easier to discern. Point this out in the figure in its caption.

Sources of sound files

Use Audacity to shorten the sound file to the length required.

Note: the Java and processing code only handles 16-but mono wav files properly. If your file is not

in that format just use Audacity to split a stereo track to mono and export it as a 16-bit wav.
