%This file takes roughly 30 seconds to compile completely and will play
%three different versions of 'Hail Purdue'.  Note: When the wave files are
%created MatLab produces a warning, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

sound(HailPurdue,1/delta);
sound(HailPurduex2,1/delta);
sound(HailPurdueTrans,1/delta);

wavwrite(HailPurdue, 20100, 'hw1_1a.wav');
wavwrite(HailPurduex2, 20100, 'hw1_1b.wav');
wavwrite(HailPurdueTrans, 20100, 'hw1_1c.wav');

Results

This problem took some time, but it was nice learning how to make and play Hail Purdue in Matlab. The only thing that bothered me was a warning produced in Matlab when using wavwrite, however it didn't seem to be doing anything noticeable.
