WAV Files
Alternate Line Plot Method
Visualization of waveforms
We can use Matplotlib, NumPy, and the wave module to plot waveforms of WAV files.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np import wave import sys wav=wave.open('chicken.wav', 'r') #We only want to use mono files if wav.getnchannels()==2: print('Stereo files are unsupported. Use mono files.') sys.exit(0) #Terminates program raw=wav.readframes(-1) #This reads all frames, returns them in byte form raw=np.frombuffer(raw, dtype='int16') #Converts bytes to integers sample_rate=wav.getframerate() time_=np.linspace(0, len(raw)/sample_rate, num=len(raw)) plt.title("Waveform of Chicken") plt.plot(time_, raw, color="blue") #Plot time and amplitude plt.xlabel("Time (s)") plt.ylabel("Amplitude") plt.tight_layout() plt.savefig('chicken.png') plt.show()
This should result in something like this:
