[edit] Mel and Hz
How can mel and Hz coincide below 500 Hz, and not above, when 1000 mel is defined as 1000 Hz? Maybe it is meant that below 500 Hz the relationship is linear? Guaka 17:49, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
[edit] 2595 and 1227
Many authors say: Mel = 2595*log (1+f/700) .. where does this 1227.something in this article come from??
- 1127.01048 is for natural logarithms (see below). 2595.03753 is for logarithms to base 10. --Zundark 15:33, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] 1127.01048
Where does 1127.01048 come from? (Maybe that's what the previous poster to this page meant?) Michael Hardy 01:40, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- It's supposed to be 1000/log(17/7), so that m = 1000 corresponds to f = 1000. --Zundark 15:33, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] "Mel"?
What does 'mel' stand for? Shoud imho be mentioned in the article. Sipalius 13:07, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Mel is a short from word melody.
[edit] In other words...
"In other words," ... what? Is this an accidental deletion?
