Number Theory and Noise
Joo Young "Jon" Kim, Erik Huang, Pooja Ramanathan
This project investigates the representations of sets of positive integers (sequences) as sound.
A digital audio waveform is created from a given set A of positive integers by setting sample number i to a non-zero constant c for all i in the set. All other samples are set to zero.
For example, the waveform for the primes starts like this:
We use the standard CD-audio sampling rate of 44100 samples per second, so Δt = 1/44100= 0.0000226757... seconds.
For many sets, the result is what most people would describe as noise.
