I wonder if there is such a thing as a musical note too short to be heard by the human ear?
What is the frequency of a handclap?
I wasn't thinking in terms of frequency, more of duration.
So was I; a handclap is too brief for a meaningful frequency to be assigned to it.
But if you recorded it, played it back at a slower speed, I bet you could come up with a frequency spectrum. I suspect handclap has a more complex frequency structure than you would think, since you can hear differences between different people's claps, and there are tonal differences between handclaps ...
