Audio Signal Filtering

I used MATLAB to explore how bandpass and low-pass filters change an audio signal and which parts of its frequency content they retain.

About this project

I wanted to understand audio filtering as more than a set of equations. In this MATLAB project, I designed bandpass and low-pass filters and applied them to audio signals, connecting the filter behavior with the signal being processed.

The two filters gave me different ways to work with frequency content. A low-pass filter retains lower-frequency components while attenuating higher-frequency ones. A bandpass filter focuses on a selected frequency range and attenuates content outside it.

Working with both approaches helped me build a more intuitive understanding of frequency selection in signal processing. The project gave me practice with MATLAB-based audio processing and made the relationship between a filter and its output easier to understand.
