Data: Collect data from three different sources. You can try humming a particular frequency, have a friend try to hum the same frequency (or sing a single frequency), and try playing a single note on a musical instrument. Take a screen shot of all three sources, and paste each one into this assignment. Analysis: Look at the scaling and determine the fundamental frequency and write it down. Also, notice the frequencies of the first couple of overtones. The scale on the side is a log scale in KiloHertz (kHz), so in my example the fundamental is about 0.15 kHz or 150 Hertz. Remember Kilo means 1,000. Although the assignment only asked to do three, you can do several instruments and see more of distinction between the fundamental frequency and overtones which gives that instrument its quality. Comments and Conclusions: Try and draw a conclusion about your data. Did you observe anything interesting? Does it make sense why different instruments or people playing or singing the same note, sound different? Think about the overtones
