Sound Component

Parameters

name : string

Everything in a PsychoPy experiment needs a unique name. The name should contain only letters, numbers and underscores (no punctuation marks or spaces).

start : float or integer

The time that the stimulus should first play. See Defining the onset/duration of components for details.

stop :

For sounds loaded from a file leave this blank and then give the Expected duration below for visualisation purposes. See Defining the onset/duration of components for details.

sound :

This sound can be described in a variety of ways:

• a number can specify the frequency in Hz (e.g. 440)
• a letter gives a note name (e.g. “C”) and sharp or flat can also be added (e.g. “Csh” “Bf”)
• a filename, which can be a relative or absolute path (mid, wav, and ogg are supported).

volume : float or integer

The volume with which the sound should be played. It’s a normalized value between 0 (minimum) and 1 (maximum).
