Mel scale

Have you heard of music notes? There are a lot of different notes, like A, B, C, and so on. They help us create different sounds and songs.

But have you ever thought about how we hear those notes? That's where the mel scale comes in.

The mel scale is a way that scientists and musicians use to measure how we hear different sounds. It's sort of like a map for our ears!

But instead of using letters like A, B, and C, the mel scale uses something called "mel frequencies." These frequencies match up with different pitches and tones that we can hear.

The mel scale is important because it helps us understand how humans hear sound. It's based on lots of research about how our ears work and how we interpret different types of sound.

So, the next time you're singing along to your favorite song, just remember that the mel scale is helping you hear all those different notes and sounds!
