Unless otherwise noted, all compositions, granular synthesis and piano examples are by the author.

Vocal examples are identified by the speaker or singer.

The spectrograms, power spectrum and oscilloscope examples were prepared with SpectraFoo, as marketed by Metric Halo, except for the ones in the Speech Acoustics module which were done with Audition.

Graphics in the Handbook for Acoustic Ecology have their sources and permissions acknowledged in that document. Many have been redrawn for the Tutorial.

Environmental sound recordings used as examples that are identified as WSP may be found in the WSP Database Recording Collection as noted.

Other sources used in the modules with short attributions are:
