Depending on the musical instrument, the spectral shape and concentration of energy can be quite similar to those of an industrial noise spectrum. This is true of stringed, vocal, brass, and woodwind instruments. It is not true, however, of percussive instruments such as the drums or cymbals-2 Overview of Anatomy and Physiology of the Peripheral Auditory System BY RICHARD J. SALVI, EDWARD LOBARINAS, AND WEI SUN Musicians possess a remarkable array of instruments and vocal styles that can appeal to diverse musical interests ranging from classical and operatic on the one hand to jazz, rock, and rap at the other end of the continuum.
