If an engineer were to tune a sound system for treble-heavy equalization, then you, the consumer, would be forced to focus on the music's high-frequency elements like the cymbals. The audio engineers who craft these systems over the entire course of a new car's development tune the vehicle's stereo for flat equalization, based on the audible spectrum. Keeping your sound system's equalization (EQ) flat allows you to hear your music in the most accurate way possible. While it may be tempting to crank the bass and treble, keeping your equalization flat allows you to hear every instrument reproduced as accurately as possible. A triangle averages 4,500 Hz, while cymbals typically average out to 8,000 Hz. Finally, any treble sound falls between 4,000 and 20,000 Hz, but musical instruments typically can't surpass 12,000 Hz.

Midrange covers the audible spectrum from 250 to 4,000 Hz, and includes instruments such as the guitar (275 Hz), flute (800 Hz) and piano (2,000 Hz). Instruments in this range are the tuba (32 Hz), bass drum (100 Hz) and viola (196 Hz). To put that into perspective, bass is any sound that falls between 20 and 250 Hz. At 20,000 Hz, the human ear is at its upper limit of what it can sense in the high-pitched side of the audible spectrum.

On the flipside, 20,000 Hz means a loudspeaker (typically a small tweeter) is vibrating at a rate of 20,000 oscillations per second. 20 Hz, or 20 cycles per second of a loudspeaker (typically a large subwoofer) moving forward and backward, reproduces the lowest-possible frequency the human ear can perceive. The audible spectrum ranges from 20 to 20,000 Hertz. Although commonly recognized terms, it's good to start with these concepts as a refresher, as they provide a platform for understanding the rest of the ideas we'll be discussing moving forward. Most people are familiar with bass, midrange and treble, the low-, mid- and high-frequency sounds that combine in music.

A couple of days later they quoted almost 20,000 yen (US$190) for the repair of the unspecified damage, which they said would not be covered under warranty 🙁 UPDATE: Softbank Mobile sent the two months old Pixel 3a in for testing and repair. But that is all meaningless if it randomly shuts down or you can no longer charge it. The picture quality seems as good as for its more powerful sibling, the more expensive Pixel 3 and battery life was decent too. Needless to say, I am not impressed with a 2/2 failure rate for our Pixel 3a phones so far. Time to take it back to the Softbank Mobile shop, I guess 🙁 However, after I powered it up and started the system restore, it no longer charged from either that charger or from the Pixel 3a charger or a Pixel 3 charger. After the factory reset I could charge the phone with the charger from my earlier Nexus 6P and a USB C cable when powered off. Other results suggested a factory reset may get it working again, but that did not work for me. That makes sense, since it would explain both the charging issues and the audio warning, as one can plug an analog device into the USB C port via an adapter. I googled the problem and most results suggested it was a problem with the USB C port. There was no analog audio device connected. Nothing was plugged into its headphone socket or into the USB C port. The attached device is not compatible with this phone Eventually it would charge again.Īnalogue audio accessory detected. I then tried different cables and chargers and also rebooted the phone. I would reconnect the phone but it would not show the charging symbol. Recently I would find the phone with less than 50% of battery left in the morning when I had left it hooked up to the charger (so it should have been at 100%). It took a few weeks before Softbank Mobile replaced the phone under warranty. This even happened after the phone had been factory reset, with no third party apps installed. Within a week she had a problem where her phone would suddenly shut down when the battery still had 50-60% charge left, while doing nothing. Three months ago my wife and I both changed our local smartphone plans and changed to a Google Pixel 3a.
