Any other waveform than Sinus produces harmonics. To figure out, how they sound, I have written a Pulse-Quad-Morpher, which morphs a Pulsewave with different pulse width (middle slider) into a quadric curve waveform (top slider). The bottom slider is to adjust the frequency. Note, that zero and one are illegal values for the pulse width, since only one value is produced, which is not a waveform.

Caution: Old Macs may produce noise.
This is a bug - upcoming audiostudies will run fine.

Neat… if you turn the frequency all the way down then drag one of the other sliders around, it sounds a little bit like a light saber battle :)

You’re right about the lightsaber battle :D

If you notice it getting louder and softer, its not (unless for some reason its coded in to just that? but i doubt it) our mid level of hearing is the loudest, and the further you stray the quieter noises appear. Thats why dogs usually respond to lower (male) voices and cats ignore you (they are higher on the spectrum)

just a fun fact!

very cool

Sounds a lot like my old 56k modem!

Really Cool!!!

Who did the web design?

Lol very funny, yet very painful.

Would like to learn how to use neat sound generation code, such as used here, into various animations. Any hints on where to start looking would be very much appreciated. Great samples!!!

now that is just sweet. keep up the good work

hola c

Hey please share with me how you did this? Will this also work with wav files (I’m assuming you’re doing with a tone generator). I am very interested in this and would like to pass code back and forth if you’re interested.

It can be used with the sound of car engines.
