Formant Frequencies (f1-4)

Formants are spectral peaks in the sound spectrum that are typically distributed in bands across different frequencies1 . OpenDBM outputs values for the first four formants (f1-4), with N in the variable names in the tables below referring to the formant number.

Raw Variables

Variable Description
aco_fmN Formant frequency. Frame-wise formant frequency (fN) measurements, with N being 1, 2, 3, or 4, referring to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th formant respectively.

Derived Variables

Variable Description
aco_fmN_mean Formant frequency mean. Mean of the Nth formant (fN) across all audio frames.
aco_fmN_std Formant frequency standard deviation. Standard deviation of the Nth formant (fN) across all audio frames.
