This is a non-trivial task, although not impossible.

Basically, you'd need to run a sliding window FFT/DFT (Fast Fourier Transform/Discrete Fourier Transform) and look at the spectral energy density of various frequency groups. If the energy density is the same for both samples at the same time, you could consider them the same.

FFT/DFTs are not difficult to implement, and while I'd tend to do it in C, I think Perl should do it pretty well. There are dozens of FFT/DFT implementations on the 'net. Decoding the .WAV format is pretty simple, also.

About the only problem I can really see is that if you have two .WAV files sampled at different rates (i.e., one is 44.1Khz, and the other 10Khz). In that case, you'd have to resample one to match the other. Still not overly difficult, but an added step.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
