Detailed Description

A-weighting filter coefficients.

This file creates an A-weighting digital filter, which reduces low and high frequencies and enhance the middle ones to reflect the ability of the human hearing.

The implementation is based on the following standard:

• IEC/CD 1672: Electroacoustics-Sound Level Meters, IEC, Geneva, Nov. 1996, for A- and C-weighting filters.

• A-Weighting on Wikipedia
• Weighting filter on Wikipedia
• Christophe Couvreur's 'octave' toolbox

The coefficients in this file have been computed using Christophe Couvreur's scripts in octave 3.0 (debian package 1:3.0.5-6+b2 with octave-signal 1.0.9-1+b1 on i386), with

 [b, a] = adsign(1/Fs) 

for various sampling frequencies (8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, and 192000 Hz).

The sampling frequency should normally be higher than 20kHz, but most common file sampling rates have been included for completeness.
