Re: How do I measure resonance?



Tap the body part with something hard and pointy - maybe not too pointy :) - and record the resulting impulse response. A Fourier analysis if the impulse response should show the resonant frequencies.

Dear List,

 

I’m hoping some of you might have a few ideas about how one can measure the resonant characteristics of the human body? Specifically I’m trying to figure out what the resonant frequencies of a person’s head/skull might be. Is there a way or established methods to do this? Are there any dangers to playing the resonant frequency of a person’s head to them?

 

I’m hoping to do some investigations into whether the resonant characteristics of a person’s body might interact with various acoustic perceptual judgments. Many thanks in advance for your responses.

 

You are welcome to email me directly and I will post a summary of responses to the list next week.

 

Cheers,

 

Mike
