Lab Files:

For the Speed of Sound Lab (and others), you will need the burst generator and the oscilloscope  (official site) software

For the "Complex Waves" lab, you will need to use the Fourier applet and the spectrogram software and Instrument Recordings

Here is the "oscillator control panel" for the voice and hearing lab  Make sure you unzip it before running. 

Here is the vowel resonator link for the “duck call” lab.  Here is the spectrogram software.
