Inharmonic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Inharmonical
Example Sentences:
(1) A final experiment, with a stimulus duration of 1 s and slower modulation rates, showed that listeners could detect incoherence for some inharmonic complexes.
(2) When the complex was inharmonic, performance was near chance at all modular delays, both for component frequencies between 1500 and 2500 Hz, and for component frequencies between 400 and 800 Hz.
(3) The second demonstrates that, for inharmonic sounds, coherence of FM has no effect on the phenomenon of modulation detection interference (see Moore & Shailer, this symposium) once within-channel cues (combination tones and beating) are masked by background noise.
(4) Preference for the root note shifted to preference for the highest note as the triad type became increasingly inharmonic, suggesting that the former depended on inference of a missing fundamental.
(5) Spectral noise levels served as an index of the inharmonic (noise) components present from 100 to 2500 Hz for sustained vowels.
(6) Each vowel production was analyzed to produce a narrow-hand (10 Hz) frequency-by-amplitude acoustic spectrum in which the levels of inharmonic energy, i.e., noise components, were measured in dB SPL over the frequency range 100--3000 Hz.
(7) In experiment II the fundamental frequency was fixed at 200 Hz, and thresholds for inharmonicity were measured for stimulus durations of 50, 110, 410, and 1610 ms. For harmonics above the fifth the thresholds increased from less than 1 Hz to about 40 Hz as duration was decreased from 1610-50 ms. For the lower harmonics (up to the fourth) threshold changed much less with duration, and for the three shorter durations thresholds for each duration were roughly a constant proportion of the harmonic frequency.
