What is Wav
WAV is a high-quality audio format used to record, store and analyse sound for acoustic measurements and noise monitoring.
WAV, or Waveform Audio File Format, is a digital audio format commonly used to store high-quality sound recordings. In acoustics, WAV files can be used to capture, store and analyse audio from noise measurements, helping us investigate sound in greater detail.
In this video, we explain:
• What a WAV file is and how it works
• How WAV files store digital audio
• Why WAV files are useful for acoustic measurements and analysis
• How recorded audio can support playback, post-processing and identifying noise sources
If you’re involved in noise monitoring, acoustic testing, environmental assessments or sound analysis, understanding WAV files can be incredibly useful.
