The reason you can’t hear crickets through your phone
Mark was talking with his friend Sophia on the balcony on a summer night. Outside, crickets were making their usual rhythmic sounds, and Sophia asked, “I love the sound of the night, can you hear it too?” But Mark couldn’t hear anything. Sophia, puzzled, said, “Why is that? It should be much quieter where you are.” Mark thought of a particular signal processing algorithm. “It’s probably because of this technology,” he said quietly. They continued their conversation. Why couldn’t Mark hear the sound of crickets?
- Mr. Jackson: Maybe the low-frequency filtering on the smartphone is misconfigured?
- Kitty: The noise suppression feature on the smartphone probably removed the high frequencies.
- Carly: It’s likely that the adaptive digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm filtered out a specific frequency range.
- Julia: It could be because the acoustic restoration feature wasn’t activated?
