Sampling of an A 440
Explain how one can use MATLAB to play an A 440. Discuss your choice of sampling rate. (Feel free to post a sound file of your output.)
You will receive feedback from your instructor and TA directly on this page. Other students are welcome to comment/discuss/point out mistakes/ask questions too!
Answer 1
The signal we want is $ x(t) = cos(440 * 2\pi) $.
We can first create a vector of sample times. In this case, we'll let the sample frequency be 1320 Hz over a sample interval of [0,1]
t = 0:(1/1320):1;
Next, we can generate the sound samples vector from the sample times vector.
y = cos(440*2*pi*t);
Finally, we play the signal by using the "sound" command, which needs the user to specify the sound vector and the sample rate of that vector. Our sample was 1320.
sound(y, 1320);
The sample frequency was chosen so that it was more than twice the note frequency, so that the signal could be completely recovered from this sample.
