Ok, what I did was take a sample of the sound clip I wanted to use for
this - if of interest, it's a Suzuki Bandit 1200, with an after-market
Yoshimura tri-oval exhaust canister fitted - and, then using the
frequency figures for the harmonica I have here, and, using the change
pitch effect in audacity, I tried tweaking the basic frequency of the
clip had extracted to match the required frequencies as close as
possible - or until they sounded more or less right to me.
I then combined them all into the following audio clip - listen to it if
you want to, or don't, since it might just sound a bit odd to some 😉:

And, yes, in case you were wondering why I care about things like this,
it does relate to that the term in my e-mail signature relates to
motorcycles, and, not bicycles, and, this bike/exhaust combination
happens to have been my favourite in the old sighted days, and, these
sound clips are how I wish my fellow two-wheeled community members a
'happy birthday' - odd, but, life/personality, or something...LOL!

Andrew, here is a basic example - it's the happy birthday song, being rendered

I pulled that one off youtube, where someone had just taken different sounds
and combined them into that clip. However, for example, was thinking about
taking a specific motorcycle/exhaust combination that provides a cleaner,
clearer sound, and, putting together something similar, but, using the
frequencies gathered from the notes I know how to play on a harmonica, etc.?
Suppose best will just be to take the sound, and adjust it a bit at a time.
And, yes, this is all a bit of a side-thought, and, not really of much
importance... 😉

Hi Jacob
I am not sure that I fully understand what you are aiming for. I just did some
playing around with the pitch change effect and wonder whether it may be worth
a bit more investigation. I was able to change the key of an entire song by
simply selecting a different key. I selected the entire song and applied the
effect and it was all processed.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Might be a bit of an odd question - is it possible to
simply/easily tweak an existing sound to try to get it to fall into a frequency
range
Hi there
Know this may sound a bit odd, but, sort of relates to using alternative sound
forms to render a version of something like a common tune - for example, I know
the frequencies of the notes for happy birthday, but, might want to take an
alternative sound form, and, process it to play back in the frequency ranges of
the notes of a song like that?
Know could tune this bit by bit, using something like the change pitch effect,
but, just wondering if there's a simpler way to handle it, using output
frequency reanges, etc.?
