the question might seem dumb but since I tried it out and got values well above 2000 (watts?) it got me thinking... Check this out:
winLen = 10*1e-3;
fftOverlap = 0.5;
[x, Fs] = audioread('speech_5.wav');
x = x(:,1);
hopSize = winLen * Fs;
nfft = hopSize / fftOverlap;
overlap = nfft - hopSize;
w = hann(nfft);
[S, f, t] = spectrogram(x, w, overlap, nfft, Fs);
S = (abs(S)).^2 + eps; %make it a power spectrogram
If you look into S (the spectrogram) now, you see a lot of values above 1000, in my case (this is clean speech) even 6000. It got me thinking, what kind of unit this is? Intuition says its watts, but 6000 watts of power in a certain frequency in a 10ms time frame seems very unlikely to me... I mean my hair dryer has 2000 watts... Can someone please help me out here?
Additionally, if you see anything in my code that could be improved, please share! I will be more than thankful for any input!
