Evidence

The mass of a sound is where its bulk seems to lie. It is regarded as the predominant bandwidth of the sound. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 465

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines sound mass as the predominant bandwidth, distinguishing it from the frequency label.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 465
• XREF: connects to: Sound mass is predominant bandwidth while grain is regular internal fluctuation — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 465; Sound grain is regular modulation, opposed to isolated transients — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 466
