pens regularly, such as the ticking of a clock, the beating of a heart, or the speed of a
computer processor. The speed of a modern computer processor is generally given
in
Gigahertz
(
GHz
) these days. That's pretty fast if you consider that one
Kilohertz
(
KHz
) is 1,000 Hz, one Megahertz is 1,000 KHz (or 1 million Hertz), and one Giga-
hertz is 1,000 MHz (or 1 billion Hertz). The hearing range for humans is on average
from around 20 to 20,000 Hz.
Ok, that's enough of that since your head probably "Hertz" now. Get it? Anyway, we
know what the frequency of a sound is now. So, let's move on and look at the idea
of
stereo
sound.
