MeasureTransferFunction

Measure the Acoustic Transfer Function of the Vocal Tract · By Peter Birkholz / VocalTractLab

MeasureTransferFunction is a free, open-source tool from the VocalTractLab project. It uses logarithmic sine sweeps to excite an acoustic system and compute its linear impulse response, making it possible to measure resonances in 3D-printed vocal tracts, loudspeakers, or rooms.

Designed for researchers and curious builders alike, the program turns a low-cost audio interface into a precision acoustic measurement station — a rare bridge between benchtop hardware and the physics of speech.
