I have been thinking about the problem of how you would analyze audio with a computer program, especially after hearing about ways to analyze images, and have thought of a couple problems, and I figure I'd ask about what I think is the easier of the two.
The question is: Given a sound wave (say, as a .wav file), determine whether or not it is dissonant.
Has there been any attempts to solve the problem? Did it turn out to be easy, or is this actually a hard problem? Are there any programs out there that do this, or any research papers that investigate the problem? What techniques could be helpful here? (I have a feeling that a Fast Fourier Transform would come in handy here.)
