obspy.io.wav.core._write_wav¶

_write_wav(stream, filename, framerate=7000, rescale=False, width=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Writes a audio WAV file from given ObsPy Stream object. The seismogram is squeezed to audible frequencies.

The generated WAV sound file is as a result really short. The data are written uncompressed as signed 4-byte integers.

Warning

This function should NOT be called directly, it registers via the the write() method of an ObsPy Stream object, call this instead.

Parameters:

stream (Stream) The ObsPy Stream object to write. filename (str) Name of the audio WAV file to write. framerate (int, optional) Sample rate of WAV file to use. This this will squeeze the seismogram (default is 7000). rescale (bool, optional) Maximum to maximal representable number width (int, optional) dtype to write, 1 for ‘<u1’, 2 for ‘<i2’ or 4 for ‘<i4’. tries to autodetect width from data, uses 4 otherwise
