Summary edit

Description
English: An 1859 phonautograph recording of a 435 Hz tone, one of the earliest surviving recordings of sound. The phonautograph was intended only for the visual study of graphic recordings of sound waves and playback as sound was not anticipated. Digital scanning and computer processing have now made extracting the sound from such recordings a relatively straightforward desktop operation. More substantial phonautograph recordings from 1860, as well as snippets from 1857, may be heard at firstsounds.org.
