I am using the tones command from siggen package.
$ rm notes.wav; tones -w notes.wav 1000 4...@-2 0 4...@-4 && play notes.wav
The command generates 3 tones, each one second long
1. 440 Hz at -2 dB
2. 0 Hz (silence)
3. 440 Hz at -4 dB
However, both the first and third tones sounds equally loud.
I was using the beep command in the 'beep' package to generate tones.
I find that it doesn't quite behave as expected. I ran the following
two commands:
$ beep -f 440 -l 1000
$ beep -f 880 -l 1000
The 880 Hz sound sounded lower in pitch than 440 Hz sound.
Also, it sounds out of tune with the s
