Noise is unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, noise is indistinguishable from desired sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate (e.g., music or speech) or unintended. In contrast, noise in electronics may not be audible to the human ear and may require instruments for detection.In audio engineering, noise can refer to the unwanted residual electronic noise signal that gives rise to acoustic noise heard as a hiss. This signal noise is commonly measured using A-weighting or ITU-R 468 weighting.In experimental sciences, noise can refer to any random fluctuations of data that hinders perception of a signal.
Hi all!
I have this problem: I have some data that come from a negative binomial distribution with unknown parameters and some additive noise with gaussian distribution of known parameters.
What is the best way to remove the noise from the distribution of the data? I tried bot a very basic mean...
How should I gauge noise on a RS485 line? (2 equal and opposite data lines and a shield line)
I tried connecting a Oscope. Persumably however the same noise is appearing on all 3 lines. So if I attach my oscope probe to 1 of the data lines, and the ground to shield all the noise will be...

A simplified model of ADC noise refers the noise to a noisy source resistance Rn while assuming the rest of the signal path to be noiseless. Figure 3 represents a particular 18-bit ADC that has a 10 V input voltage range. The ADC has a bandwidth of 1 MHz.

I am trying to reduce the noise created from a machine that makes contact (impact) with a thin plate. I just don't have anyone to bounce ideas off of.
I can change the support geometry to whatever I want as long as it will with stand a static load and the impact. I can handle this, but the...
From my research I am showing that if an input signal becomes too slow (ie: a low slew rate) then the noise can cause multiple state changes.
But I am being told that if the slew rate is low then it will get rid of unwanted noise.

I live in a second floor apartment and I am having trouble with floor noise. I just moved in this week and the guy below me has already yelled from his room a few times to "Go to bed, son of a bit**". Well, the problem with that is 1) I was only walking through my bedroom, 2) it was 8 at night...
I'm curious as to why I can hear traffic noise sometimes and not others. The busy hwy is about a mile away across a field. Sometimes it sounds like it is at my door but other times I can't hear it but still see a lot of traffic. How does environmental conditions (temp, no wind, etc) affect the...
I just noticed this and it is crazy. I have a little speaker that I plug into my computer. it is being charged by the usb port. I got up and turned off the fan in my room and I heard a popping noise. It worried me a bit, so I turned the fan back on (no noise), then I turned it off and I heard...

Hi Folks,
I have an article which explains the modulation of 2 signals given by
X_1(f) e^{-j 2 \pi f t_i} and X_2(f) e^{-j 2 \pi f t_i}

In particular I am wondering about compressor blades, but it's an interesting question to pose for household type fans as well. We can imagine "waterwheel" type schemes, and also the more traditional schemes where the axis of rotation is parallel to the flow. Which produces more noise per...
I am to choose a certain type of jet fan in a parking garage. Looking at a spesific one, what I'm having a hard time considering is the noise it generates - 78 dB (A) at 3 m - and whether it would within acceptable limits? This is a fan that you would pass underneath walking to or from your car...
I am confused about very fundamental question.
Why does the rms value of number of electrons collected from a signal(like in photoconductor) gives you the noise in that signal.
I'm struggling to compute the noise voltage due to the thermal noise on the resistors of an op-amp circuit, configured as a t-network.
If it were a single feedback resistor, the noise voltage referenced to the output (RTO)would be given by sqrt(4KTRB).
I'm not sure how to combine them...
it is my understanding that the input referred noise current (density) can be obtained from Ibias via
inoise=sqrt(2*q*Ibias), where q=1.6e-19.
on op-amp datasheets, both Ibias and the input referred noise current are both specified. Yet, the value typically shown for the noise current...
