Task 6/6: Handling noise and other unwanted sounds (usually WIND)

You are required to give…

 Existing definitions of handling noise, distortion/clipping and gain as they relate to audio recording, microphone use,
etc. Say where you got them from.
 Rewrite the definitions in your own words to show you understand what they mean.

Existing Definition with Your understanding of

Handling noise is
expressed as an
equivalent sound
Handling noise pressure level as is a
function of the
construction of the
microphone
Clipping is a form of the
distortion that results
when an amplifier lacks
Distortion/clipping
the power to amplify a
signal to meet demand
by the speakers.
Gain absolutely affects
the sound quality, as it
determines how your
system is reacting to
the signal that you are

feeding it. If your gain is
too low, you'll get tons
of noise. If it's too high,
your system will clip or
distort.

When it comes to handling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DebvGgHd2rU
noise, anything can be
picked up while recording
from any hardware
Clipping is basically part of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aniQ_TmOE4
distortion that happens
when an amplifier doesn’t
have the power to push a
signal that is created by
the speakers.
Gain has an effect on how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVXUPu8980o
the noise sounds, if it’s too
high it’ll sound distorted
and if it’s too high then
you’ll have too much
noise.
