Wolfram Tones is a neat offering from Wolfram that students can use to can play with sample sounds and rhythms to create new own sounds. Wolfram Tones uses algorithms, music theory, and sound samples to generate new collections of sounds. Wolfram Tones allows visitors to choose samples from fifteen different genres of music on which to build their own sounds. Once a genre is selected visitors can then alter the rhythms, instrumentation, and pitch mapping of their sounds. When satisfied with their creations, users can download their sounds or have them sent directly to their cell phones.

"With just one week until Sound Check Australia closes we thought we'd peek into the huge digital vault of data to produce some (non-scientific) early results. Disclaimer:Please note that these early results have not been scientifically validated - they're just a taste of the numbers so far.  The really juicy scientific findings will come out after the data is properly validated and analysed."

"Visualize in real-time the frequencies that you can hear around you and even those you cannot. The SpectrumView analyser provides a high quality real-time spectrogram and spectrum analyser display with configurable sample rate and frequency resolution for the iPhone and iPad.  You can use this application to measure the highest tones you can sing, to find the source of an annoying sound, for calibrating musical instruments or generally for all sorts of acoustic analysis.

"Earlier this year, NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 left our solar system after a 35-year journey, carrying with it a golden record containing sounds, images and music from Earth. Its sister craft, Voyager 2, carries an identical record. The records were designed to encapsulate the aural heritage of Earth in 90 minutes - but some preliminary investigation, however, reveals that there a few inaccuracies in the official NASA documentation about the golden records."

Interesting voice simulator where you adjust the shape of the virtual mouth and voicebox to investigate how these work to produce sound.
