Rumble measurement

Rumble measurement is carried out on turntables (for vinyl recordings) which tend to generate very low frequency noise originating from the centre bearing and from drive pulleys or belts, as well as from irregularities in the record disc itself.

It can be heard as low-frequency noise, and becomes a serious problem when playing records on audio systems with a good low-frequency response. Even when not audible, rumble can cause intermodulation, modulating the amplitude of other frequencies. The nweighted response curve is intended for use in assessing the level of inaudible rumble with such intermodulation in mind.

Turntable design

One way to reduce rumble is to make the turntable very heavy, so that it acts as mechanical damper or low-pass filter, but even with the best turntables a lot of rumble tends to be generated by warped records or pressing irregularities sometimes visible as obbles in the surface. An important factor affecting rumble is low-frequency resonance resulting from pickup arm mass bouncing against stylus compliance. This resonance is usually in the 1030 Hz region, and will increase rumble as well as reducing tracking ability if not well-damped. Good pickup arms incorporate viscous damping aimed at eliminating such resonance.

Rumble filters

Because these effects generate a mostly vertical component at the stylus, which corresponds to a difference signal in stereo reproduction, the incorporation of a high-pass filter operating only on the channel difference can be very effective in reducing rumble without loss of bass. Such a filter merges the two channels to mono at very low frequencies, which is not generally considered to have any effect on stereo perception, though it can change the sound balance (often for the better) by altering the way in which resonant room modes are stimulated (reducing corner to corner stimulation). The original circuit was designed in 1978 by Jeff Macaulay and featured as a circuit idea in Wireless World. Most so-called rumble filters work by simply rolling off the low-frequency response, which is detrimental to sound quality.

Though several standards exist that define how rumble should be measured, they all have a common basis, and use the weighting curves shown here. DIN 45539 (1971) and IEC98-1964 both cover rumble measurement. BS4852: Part 1 (1972) is specific in requiring that a slow rectifier be used, which shall reach 99% of its steady indication in 5s +-0.5s with not more than 10% overshoot.

Do You Think I'll Get Mono?

my cousin thinks she has mono and she got it from my friend because they shared a sucker and his boyfriend has mono. she has this awful rash in her throat that looks exactly like mono. and me and her always share drinks and forks and all and before i found out she thought she had it, i went on a school trip and got really sick. then i find out about this and i think i might be getting it.
but im not sure
im just super tired
i dont have a sore throat all the time mostly itchy
and ive been getting lots of headaches and just aches around my stomach area...
so do you think ill get it?

You should go to hospital to inspect the disease to judge if you get the mono. And I have some articles bellow for healthcare, I think it would help you.
