Results

The audio file contains the regular Hail Purdue followed by the tune being played twice as fast followed by the y(t)=x(2t) transformation.

The first two have the same sounding notes but the 2nd is just half the time to play. However, the last one made the frequency twice as fast and made it half the tempo.
