Three A's at 220 hz

We provide three audio files each containing a different instrument
playing the same note (an A at 220hz).

Use MATLAB to sample an appropriate range of the audio file and

take the Fourier transform. Compare the frequency spectrum to
answer the following multiple choice questions.

This MATLAB problem is ungraded and is for your exploration

purposes only. If you would instead like to explore using MATLAB
online, you can copy and paste the code below which will allow
you to copy the audio files into your workspace, and begin your
analysis.
