What is it about?

How much sound energy is lost when we register natural sounds of musical instruments? Energy levels per octave emitted by different musical instruments are compared inside and outside the audible range

Why is it important?

Determine the energy levels out of range may be of interest in fuel the debate about ultrasonic perception when we compare natural and registered experience of hearing music. From a technical perspective, it is important to know the levels that will be attenuated by the anti-alias filter, preventing unexpected distortion

Perspectives

There are few works that characterize the ultrasonic components of musical instruments. The absence of a common framework makes it difficult to compare the results of the research carried out.
