Aliasing occurs when a signal is sampled at an insufficient rate. Two different signals can become indistinguishable from each other when they are sampled – they are aliases of each other.

How do you explain aliasing?
Aliasing occurs when an oscilloscope does not sample the signal fast enough to construct an accurate waveform record. The signal frequency is misidentified, and the waveforms displayed on an oscilloscope become indistinguishable. Aliasing is basically a form of undersampling.
What does aliasing sound like in audio?
What does aliasing sound like? There are two forms of aliasing that can take place: either there will be silence, or the signal will be recorded as if it were a lower octave, completely misrepresenting the original signal.
What is aliasing causes?
Aliasing is Caused by Poor Sampling
A bandlimited signal is one with a highest frequency. The highest frequency is called the bandwidth ωb . If sample spacing is T, then sampling frequency is ωs =2π/T. (If samples are one pixel apart, then T=1).
What is sampling and aliasing?
Aliasing is when a continuous-time sinusoid appears as a discrete-time sinusoid with multiple frequencies. The sampling theorem establishes conditions that prevent aliasing so that a continuous-time signal can be uniquely reconstructed from its samples. The sampling theorem is very important in signal processing.
Can you hear aliasing?
Aliasing moves in the opposite direction to the desired signal, so if you hear (or see on a spectrograph) some components going up in pitch while others are going down, and no effects or other synth functions are engaged, you can reasonably bet that you've got aliasing.
