1. For 10 seconds, record the static noise between two (2) radio stations while
slowly adjusting to reach one specific station.
Question: What happens to the static noise once it reaches a specific radio station?
Answer: When I was listening to the radio to tune in for a specific station, I noticed the
changes in the static noise. The changes were caused by reduced interference from
other stations and atmospheric noise. When the radio reached a station's frequency, the
radio filtered out the static noise and tuned it to the specific frequency. The static
gradually decreased until it disappeared, leaving a clear signal of the station.
2. Find a song that uses distortion. Clip the part of the distortion. Start 3 seconds
before the distortion starts.
Question: Did distortion improve the song?
Answer: The song I listened to was Elbow by Ground for Divorce, as for the question, if
whether distortion improved the song, I could say that the distortion coming from the
guitar made the song a bit raspy and gritty and I took quite a liking for it. So, the
answer is, yes distortion improved the song.
3. For 30 seconds, record yourself talking while background music is plays at
20%, 50%, and 90% volume, respectively. Give 10 seconds for each volume level.
Question: What is your observation regarding the effect of the background music on
your talking voice?
Answer: At 20%, the background music often empowers my voice but, I could still
properly hear my voice.
At 50%, my voice is starting to become quite muffled due to the background noise
having a much higher volume.
At 90%, my voice I could barely hear myself talking due to the background noise having
almost a 100% volume rate
