AUDIO
What is an Audio?
Audio
Audio is a more technical term,
referring to sound coming from a
recording, transmission or
electronic device.

website to a media player or computer.
DIFFERENT WAYS
OF
STORING AUDIO MEDIA
Tape
Magnetic
tape on which
sound can be
recorded.
cd
A plastic-fabricated,
circular medium for
recording, storing, and
playing back audio, video,
and computer data.
Usb drive
An external flash drive,
small enough to carry on
a key ring, that can be
used with any computer
that has a USB port.
Memory card
(aka flash memory card or
storage card) is a small storage
medium used to store data such
as text, pictures, audio, and
video, for use on small, portable,
or remote computing devices.
Computer hard drive
Secondary
storage devices
for storing audio
files.
Internet/cloud
Websites or file repositories
for retrieving audio files, and
more precisely the files are
stored in some datacenter
full of servers that is
connected to the Internet.
DIFFERENT AUDIO
FILE FORMATS
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
A common format for consumer
audio, as well as a standard of digital
audio compression for the transfer and
playback of music on most digital audio
players.
M4A/AAC (MPEG-4
Audio/Advanced Audio
Coding)
An audio coding standard for lossy
digital audio compression. Designed to
be the successor of the MP3 format,
AAC generally achieves better sound
quality than MP3 at similar bit rates.
WAV
Is a Microsoft audio file format
standard for storing an audio bitstream
on PCs. It has become a standard file
format for game sounds, among others.
WMA (Windows Media
Audio)
Is an audio data compression
technology developed by
Microsoft and used with Windows
Media Player.
HEARING VS. LISTENING
Do you think there is
a difference between
hearing and listening?
You are right,
there is!!!
hearing
•Hearing is simply the act of
perceiving sound by the ear. If
you are not hearing-impaired,
hearing simply happens.
hearing
•Hearing is an involuntary process
that starts with noise, vibrations,
the movement of fluid in the ears
and sound sent to the brain.
LISTENING
Listening
• Listening is something you consciously
choose to do. Listening requires
concentration so that your brain
processes meaning from words and
sentences. Listening leads to learning.
Listening
• Listening is a voluntary act where we try to make sense
out of the noise we hear. That could be your partner
telling you to rake the leaves or your boss droning on
about the latest plummeting sales figures. But the worst is
when a speaker is on stage vying for your attention. In
any event, hearing and listening are very different because
listening requires conscious action.
