Audio Signal Analysis on MatLab

Objectives
Objectives for working with audio signals in MATLAB can include;
 Signal Processing: Perform various signal processing operations on audio signals, such
as filtering, noise reduction, equalization, and compression, to improve audio quality or
achieve desired audio effects.
 Analysis and Visualization: Analyze audio signals using techniques like Fourier
analysis, spectrograms, and waveform plotting to understand the frequency content, time-
domain characteristics, and identify any anomalies or patterns in the audio data.
 Speech and Audio Recognition: Develop algorithms and models for speech and audio
recognition tasks, such as speech-to-text conversion, speaker identification, music genre
classification, or sound event detection, leveraging MATLAB's signal processing and
machine learning capabilities.
 Audio Playback and Recording: Build systems for audio playback and recording,
enabling MATLAB to act as a platform for real-time audio processing, music production,
or building interactive audio applications.
 Algorithm Development and Optimization: Develop and optimize algorithms for audio
signal processing tasks, such as audio effects, audio synthesis, or audio source separation,
using MATLAB's built-in functions, toolboxes, and libraries.
 Audio Compression and Coding: Explore and implement audio compression
techniques, such as MP3, AAC, or FLAC, to reduce the file size while maintaining
acceptable audio quality.
 From biomedical point of view, it helps in heart sound analysis, respiratory sound
analysis, and biomedical signal processing and auditory prosthetics.

Introduction
Audio signal processing
Audio signal analysis refers to the process of examining and interpreting audio signals to extract
meaningful information. It involves techniques such as spectral analysis, time-domain analysis,
and feature extraction to understand the characteristics, patterns, and content of audio signals.
This analysis enables tasks like speech recognition, music genre classification, sound event
detection, and quality assessment in various domains such as music, telecommunications, and
biomedical engineering.

Procedure
The procedure for writing a code in MATLAB for audio signal analysis can be broken down into
several steps:
1. Load the audio signal: Use MATLAB's built-in functions, such as `audioread()`, to read and
load the audio signal from a file into a MATLAB variable.
2. Preprocessing: Apply any necessary preprocessing steps to the audio signal, such as
resampling, normalization, or noise removal, to prepare it for analysis.
3. Time-domain analysis: Perform time-domain analysis on the audio signal by applying
functions like `plot()` to visualize the waveform or `sound()` to listen to the audio.
4. Frequency-domain analysis: Convert the audio signal to the frequency domain using
techniques like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with functions like `fft()`.
5. Feature extraction: Extract relevant features from the audio signal, such as spectral features
(e.g., spectral centroid, spectral flux) or temporal features (e.g., zero-crossing rate, energy), using
functions like `mfcc()` or custom feature extraction algorithms.
6. Statistical analysis and classification: Apply statistical analysis or machine learning techniques
to analyze the extracted features and classify the audio signal into specific categories (e.g.,
speech, music genre, or sound event).
7. Visualization and interpretation: Visualize the results of the analysis using MATLAB's
plotting functions, such as `bar()` or `imshow()`, to gain insights and interpret the findings.
8. Output or further processing: Based on the analysis results, generate desired outputs, such as
saving the analyzed data to a file, generating reports, or integrating the analysis into larger
systems.

Y_0=fftshift(Y);
AY_0=abs(Y_0);
subplot(2,1,2);
plot(F_0,AY_0, 'LineWidth',1.5);
xlabel('Frequency(Hz)');
