Can you hear the difference between a sine wave and a square wave?

Man those edits between your dialog are trippy. When you morf into yourself.

best part is seeing your voice in oscilloscope and watching bass overpower rest of the noise sibilants

The "ringing" is actually an artifact of creating lower pitch square waves by adding progressively higher and higher multiples of sine waves together, which is probably where the harmonics come from as well. It's something Fourier discovered while trying to explain the phenomena of how heat dissipates through different temperature rods before finally coming up with the now-famous Fourier transform.

This is fantastic! David's eye contact is on-point - amazed he didn't blink once the entire video.

These videos would have been a lifesaver when I was first getting into synthesis and learning the essentials

I noticed that even at the highest frequencies it was still possible to detect a difference, the sine wave actually feels bigger to me when I hear it but the difference becomes is distinct the higher you go. the key to hearing it is, listen to the notes switch back and forth, one transition will feel like it's dropping or shrinking and be less pronounced (sine -> square) and the other will feel like it's the same note but expanded out a bit and with a more pronounced distinction as it transitions (square -> sine)

This was actually really fascinating and very well put together!

This is one of the best videos I have watched in the past year or so

Never have I ever wanted to hear a function generator from youtube in my entire life.




*One video clip please*

I feel very smart cause I actually picked up on this happening on my own while making chiptune! The explanation however makes so much sense!! I just never considered it

Very educational video! The explanation helped me understand why a sound I was producing sounded like it was ringing.

On a totally unrelated side note, one suggestion I would make would be to try blinking a few times a minute while recording. Not blinking can be a bit off-putting for a viewer, though they might not consciously process it.

Very professional demonstrations and video, and very mindful of the viewers' constraints! Much appreciated by a curious physics student.

Amazed by the details given in a video of 9 mints. Appreciate the clear explanation on the topic. Thank you. I am getting into Vehicle Acoustics field and this would help me to look things differently.

One question related to content, I am looking for such detailed explanations on harmonics in Freq spectrum. It’d be great if I could get some information on that.

This video explains very well what I've noticed when messing around with my signal generators and audio amplifiers, I thought this was from me not having a musical ear or from me not constructing my signal generators well enough. 😄

Very interesting video, thank you!
I am just curious about how does your digital audio workstation generate the square sound wave? What is the input electrical signal of it?

Well, In the beginning I was honestly listening with intent, but I had to start the vid over when I suddenly realized I was actually wondering when this man was actually going to blink, if ever!🤔 Haha...to be continued👍😉 (and I'm sorry oh blinkless one..but if theres any consolation, I did subscribe to you!)

Great video but I would avoid using morph cut, it looks a little strange.
