This post is about resonant frequencies of a tube, in the context of speech and the neutral vocal configuration. Two formulas are given: the first to calculate the resonant frequencies when the length is known, and second, to calculate the length when the frequency of a formant is known. Finally, there is a real-life example: […]

Sound (Related to Speech)
Sound is a form of energy (Crystal 32). It is a series of pressure fluctuations in a medium (Johnson 4). In speech the medium is usually air, although sound can propagate through solid objects and water, for example. Once the air particles become energised by the vocal folds vibration, a series of rarefaction and compression […]
Jonas Beskow at the Centre for Speech Technology KTH Stockholm wrote free Formant Synthesis Demo computer programme that runs on Windows and Linux (and on any other OS for which the application can be compiled from the open source code the author kindly uploaded). The programme synthesises F1, F2, F3 and F4 formants from several sources […]
