Understanding Sound in Game Programming

Sound is the sensation perceived by the sense of hearing.

Amplitude is the parameter that represents wave height and volume of air moved.

Sound travels faster than light.

Sound can travel through a vacuum.

Sound can travel through a vacuum.

Analog sound can be directly written to a disk without any conversion.

The Pinna is responsible for the reflection of sound.

Digital sound processing has many similar properties to computer imagery processing.

The frequency of the sample rate for digital sound should be less than the frequency of the original sound.

Spatial hearing is the ability to determine direction and distance from a sound source.

The transmission of sound requires a medium with elasticity and inertia.

Sound waves travel at a constant speed and can be specified with two parameters: amplitude and frequency.

The sample rate for digital sound should be twice the frequency of the original sound.

Digital sound is an analog process, similar to vision.

The process of spatial hearing, which allows us to determine the direction and distance from a sound source, is fully understood.
