Vocal Formant Acoustic Synthesizer

Phonetics Lab: /haɪ/ (Hi)
Acoustic Greeting Trajectories:
F1 vs F2 Vowel Resonance Space (Drag cursor to steer) F1: 720 Hz | F2: 1240 Hz
Based on Peterson & Barney vowel acoustics. Drag directly in the field to steer resonant vocal tract formants.
Acoustic Spectrogram & Energy Envelope 0 - 4000 Hz
Dynamic frequency spectrum over the duration of the utterance. Formant ridges highlight vocal resonance bands.
Utterance Timeline & Phoneme Scrubbing Position: 0.28 s / 0.50 s
[h] Aspiration
[a] Open Vowel
[ɪ] Palatal Glide
0.00s (Glottal Friction) Click & scrub along timeline to inspect acoustic frame Duration: 0.50s
Synthesized Time-Domain Pressure Waveform 44.1 kHz PCM | Glottal Pulse Train
Acoustic Signal Formant State Verified

The phonological greeting sequence /haɪ/ ("Hi") is modeled via Fant's acoustic theory of speech production: unvoiced glottal turbulence passing through a 3-pole dynamic vocal tract filter.

Phoneme Phase Fundamental F0 Formant 1 (Jaw/Height) Formant 2 (Tongue Back/Front) Formant 3 (Lip/Pharynx)
