What is Reddit's opinion of Spectral Audio Analyzer?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could use a spectral analyzer to see if it's really there or not.

If your'e younger than the other people around you, it's quite possible you're hearing a high pitch tone that they cannot here. I've personally experienced this (uh, the other way I'm afraid).

If it's not there, then it's tinnitus. Usually tinnitus sounds fade in and out, not just abruptly start and stop. More noticeable when it's really quiet.

hey cool

in addition to a tuner.. i wonder if a spectrum analyzer would be useful? could give you visual feedback on tone..

i use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=radonsoft.net.spectralview&hl=en_US

If you have an Android device, try getting some software like Spectral Audio Analyzer. Run it, and you should see the sound as a constant horizontal line that never goes away despite whatever other sounds are made. (That is, assuming that the sound is a real noise present in your room and not some artifact generated by your computer.)

Anyway, if you can detect it with this, walk around the room and see if it gets stronger and weaker as you move around. It could help you find the source of the noise so that you'll have a shot at eliminating it.

There may be similar apps for iOS devices, but I don't have an iPhone or iPad so I don't really know what they are.

Kind of, as i've said it's a bit off being truly scientific with the kit I've got now. A great deal is knowing the process damping wavelength of your material, which is found through empirical methods. (coincidentally figure 15 is the important result graph, it allows you to find the maximum depth of cut vs a range of rpm values)

I wing it on process damping wavelength from values I've learned/found, find the main natural frequency from a signal processing app and plug it into a bit of software I still have kicking about. To be honest it's still a tad trial and error.

I've used a spectrum analyzer app for something like that before.

For Android, there's Spectral Audio Analyzer. I'm sure there are many others.

Anyway, once the app is running, you can usually figure out what part of the image on the screen corresponds to the noise. Then while walking around and turning the phone different directions, it seems easier to identify the source of the noise. In my experience, it eliminates the feeling that your ears are playing tricks on you.

I was just reading yesterday about somebody using an app designed for hunting down high-pitched noises. There was a thread of somebody talking about the sound that CRT Tubes make.

I think the app was called SpectralView

Think you could do the same with something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=radonsoft.net.spectralview
