How do you convert to mel scale?

The calculation is done using the formulae mel = 1/log(2) * (log(1 + (Hz/1000))) * 1000 where Hz is the frequency in Hz.

How does mel scale work?

The mel scale is a scale of pitches judged by listeners to be equal in distance one from another. The reference point between this scale and normal frequency measurement is defined by equating a 1000 Hz tone, 40 dB above the listener's threshold, with a pitch of 1000 mels.

Is mel scale logarithmic?

The mel scale is a quasi-logarithmic function of acoustic frequency designed such that perceptually similar pitch intervals (e.g. octaves) appear equal in width over the full hearing range.

What is mel scale filtering?

The Design Mel Filter Bank block outputs a frequency-domain auditory filter bank using the mel frequency scale. You can use a mel filter bank to decompose an audio signal into separate frequency bands in the mel frequency scale, which mimics the nonlinear human perception of sound.
