librosa.frequency_weighting

librosa.frequency_weighting(frequencies, kind='A', **kw)

Compute the weighting of a set of frequencies.

Parameters

frequenciesscalar or np.ndarray [shape=(n,)]

One or more frequencies (in Hz)

kindstr in

The weighting kind. e.g. ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘Z’

min_dbfloat [scalar] or None

Clip weights below this threshold. If None, no clipping is performed.

Returns

weightingscalar or np.ndarray [shape=(n,)]

weighting[i] is the weighting of frequencies[i]
