A sound in which the sound pressure varies sinusoidally with time.  4, record 3, English, - pure%20tone

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Few sounds in daily experience are pure tones characterized by a single frequency ...  5, record 3, English, - pure%20tone

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT

If a loudspeaker cone is made to vibrate with simple harmonic motion at a given frequency, ... it gives rise to a sinusoidal disturbance in the atmosphere. This sound is known as a pure tone. Examples of noise sources which contain pure tones include fans, engine exhausts, pumps, compressors, gears, bearings and electric motors.  6, record 3, English, - pure%20tone
