which of the following would not be taken into consideration when describing the quality of a sound? a. the number of the overto
nes in the sound b. the source producing the overtones in the sound c. the frequency of the overtones in the sound d. the intensity of the overtones in the sound
B. the source producing the overtones in the sound
Explanation;
-Sound quality describes the characteristics of the sound which allow the ear to distinguish sounds which have the same pitch and loudness. The quality or timbre of a sound depends on its wave form, which varies with the number of overtones, or harmonics, that are present, their frequencies, and their relative intensities.
-The source producing the overtones in the sound does not affect the timbre or the quality of sound and thus it is not taken into consideration when describing the quality of a sound.
