Hi Ric, >Ric.... >I have thought of this. If I am standing outside my window and a loud >speaker inside is playing a tone of 440 cps, do I hear 440 cps?

We know that the temperature of the >tone producing device affects the pitch. Hmm interesting--I suspect that when sound waves hit a temperature differencial that they refract just as light does--and I seem to rememeber that does affect frequency. I could have just imagined that--anyone know for sure? Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.M.T., R.P.T.
