This is the first book that I was interested in at the time of the student and became interested in sound.
In high school physics classes, I learned that sounds were transmitted by air vibration, vibration could be represented by triangular functions, and reverse phase waves were canceled. However, at that time, the only thing I handled was a sine wave, but the sound I actually heard was hardly a sine wave, and I didn't know how the complex sounds. For example, when listening to music, even if multiple instruments are being played at the same time, it is often strange that the piano can be distinguished as the sound of the piano and the violin sound is a violin sound. What I wanted to see was the starting point of starting to study sound.
Reading this book, I first touched the concept of frequency spectrum and learned how it affects the tone. Also, as a matter of course, I know that there is a physical volume represented by an international unit system (SI) and the amount of psychological corresponding psychology, so it is quantified. I understood the difficulty of expressing it. Most of the items are shown in the illustration as described in the title, and are very easy to understand for those who have no knowledge of sound, such as sound physics, psychology, and hearing. The sound is comprehensively and concisely and easy to understand, so it is also recommended to find items you want to study deeply.
One of the very good things about this book is a column sandwiched between milestones. Many of the technical books are explained simple, but this book is supplemented from various angles for the related items. The content of the column is from academic things, phenomena that occur around you, as well as surprising guitarists such as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, so you can read it happily without getting tired. There are some items that are close to trivia, which are very interesting columns that are interested in various phenomena and trigger them to knowledge.
It also describes a little special topic, such as directing sounds in video media and designing the sounds of products and space. You may not usually be aware of it, but it describes how the sounds rooted in your life are made, and I think that many people can read it interestingly.
There are not many descriptions about digital signal processing, but the knowledge of the sound is packed, and considering the time of publishing, you can understand all of the "sound" on the cover! I feel that it is not an exaggeration. If you are interested in sound not only those who want to start studying sound, please take it.
