Notes in Scratch
Hey Guyz,
I was just messing arround with the music extension and tried to figure out which exact frequency the tone C(0) has.
According to the wiki thats about 8 hertz, which confused me,
because I can hear it and hearing fequencies below 20 Hertz is impossible for humans.
Does Someone know what has gone wrong?
Thank you in Advance, DasHeligeDönerhuhn

Yeah,but the wiki states
There are 131 notes on Scratch's keyboard, numbered from 0 (C-1, about 8.18 Hz) to 130 (B♭9, about 14917.24 Hz),so the tone 0 = 8 hertz and should be completely silent(to the human ear). so if the music extension would produce a sine wave at exactly 8.18 Hertz, as the wiki states, then the note should be silent, but it isnt

Yeah,but the wiki statesIt also produces a sine wave at multiples of 8 Hz (16, 24, 32 …).There are 131 notes on Scratch's keyboard, numbered from 0 (C-1, about 8.18 Hz) to 130 (B♭9, about 14917.24 Hz),so the tone 0 = 8 hertz and should be completely silent(to the human ear). so if the music extension would produce a sine wave at exactly 8.18 Hertz, as the wiki states, then the note should be silent, but it isnt

Are These lower amplitude or sth?Higher ones are quieter but the exact difference depends on the instrument.

When you use the music extension, it isn't a pure sine wave. It actually has overtones that you can hear, and that's what you are hearing. If there was a pure sine wave instrument then yes, you wouldn't be able to hear it.
