3 11mbre is the distinguishing quality of a sound. It is the dimension of auditory experience reÂ­. lated to the complexity of the sound wave-to the. relative breadth of the range of frequencies that. make up the wave. A pure tone consists of only one. frequency, but in nature, pure tones are extremely. rare.
The sound pressure is higher during the compressional phase of the sound wave, and sound therefore travels faster during this part of a high amplitude wave. Conversely, the sound pressure in the medium is lower during the rarefaction phase of the sound wave, and sound travels more slowly. As a result, the sound wave becomes distorted, as shown in the second panel of the figure below.
