Abstract
It is universally recognized that sampling rate (FS) influences the reliability and validity of acoustic voice measurements; however, an exact relationship has not been determined. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the influence of FS on acoustic voice quality measurements, while considering the influences of gender, intra-subject variability, microphone, environmental noise, data acquisition hardware, and analysis software as balancing factors. The impact of FS, from 44.1 kHz to 10 kHz, was explored by analyzing 864 000 measures of fundamental frequency, jitter, and shimmer, using three software analysis systems: MDVP, TF32, and PRAAT. Results suggest that the recommended, acceptable, and critical FS for acoustic voice analysis are above 26 kHz, above 19 kHz, and 12 kHz, respectively. Thus, voice samples captured above 26 kHz can be used for data analysis and compared without introducing error due to FS.
