Abstract

|
This study was an attempt to determine acoustic characteristics in myna bird’s notes. Two myna birds’ sounds imitating a normal male voice in his late 20’s were sampled and analyzed. The analyses included the mean values of F1, F2, F3 and pitch contours. The results were as follows; First, there was a significan difference in the mean values of F1, F2, and F3 in isolatd vowel /a/ and /i/ between the myna birds’ sounds and the human voice. However, there was no apparent difference in pitch contour of their formants. Second, there was a difference in pitch contour of their formants in their sentence (’hn-nyung-ha-se-yo?’ meaning ’How are you?’) production. Namely, the myna birds’ pitch contour was located higher than that of the human’s.
