Playing 440 Hz, what are the approximate harmonic amplitudes for a trumpet? For a flute?
This is to help students understand the differences when those instruments play the same note.
I've been to many website, including University of New South Wales. I would like the frequency spectrum in percentages.
For example:
--- Flute => 440 Hz - 100% | 880 Hz - 33% | 1320 Hz - 8% | 1760 Hz - 13% | 2200 Hz - 12% | 2640 Hz - 2% | 080 Hz - 12%
--- Trumpet => 440 Hz - 100% | 880 Hz - 100% | 1320 Hz - 53% | 1760 Hz - 75% | 2200 Hz - 85% | 2640 Hz - 40% | 3080 Hz - 32%
--- Same harmonics - different harmonic amplitudes.
I prefer percentages. Many students have no idea what dB means. Percentages they do understand.
I'm curious if anyone has pursued this type of question.
