Sound envelope may refer to:

  • ADSR envelope, in sound engineering.
  • Sound packages extracted from video files. Video editing tools, such as the freeware program Zwei-Stein, isolate the audio portion of the avi, mpeg (whatever clip) and "envelope" it for podcast or other distribution.
  • A phenomenon in cognitive neuroscience where incoming sounds are stored very briefly in a person's short term memory. The amount of sound stored at any point in time is called the sound envelope, and it is responsible for a person's ability to remember the beginning, middle, and end of a word for the time that it takes the brain to compile the sounds into a meaningful representation.
