Audio File Formats There are many types of formats. Common ones are: *.mp3 - MPEG Layer III Audio - compressed format - popular for CDs *.ogg - Ogg Vorbis - open source - compressed format - Archos and Samsung *.wav - large file sizes, convenient for conversion to ASCII text http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format
Conversion Need data in *.wav format for digital post-processing Use conversion utility such as: • Online conversion: • http://www.zamzar.com/ • Download freeware audio editor: • http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Matlab Utility vibrationdata > Miscellaneous > Sound File Editor > Read wav File Read wav file then Export to Matlab (one or two channels)
Sample Sound File, Two Channels Read into Matlab. Then Export to Workspace File: crj900.wav - noise inside aircraft cabin due to engines, etc.
Fast Fourier Transform Each turbofan engine has two rotors. N1 Fan - 104 Hz N2 Core - 252 Hz Engines were at 85% power for this recording. vibrationdata > FFT - input one of the sound channels
