Coding Adventure: Sound and the Fourier Transform

Sebastian Lague via YouTube

Overview

Embark on a 44-minute coding adventure exploring sound and the Fourier Transform. Delve into small experiments with audio, learning to break down signals into their component frequencies by implementing the Discrete Fourier Transform. Begin with an introduction to .wav files and waveforms, then progress through wave simulation, signal generation, and Fourier visualizations for single and multiple frequencies. Tackle the implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform, addressing concepts like the Nyquist Rate and frequency resolution. Conclude by testing the DFT function and gaining practical insights into sound processing and analysis.
