Wave audio or ''variant'', may refer to:
*
Sound
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
In human physiology and psychology, sound is the ''reception'' of such waves and their ''perception'' by the br ...
, vibrations carried on acoustic waves

Acoustic wave
Acoustic waves are types of waves that propagate through matter—such as gas, liquid, and/or solids—by causing the particles of the medium to compress and expand. These waves carry energy and are characterized by properties like acoustic pres ...
, audio waves that carry sound

FM synthesis
Frequency modulation synthesis (or FM synthesis) is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator. The (instantaneous) frequency of an oscillator is altered in accordance wi ...
, sound synthesis technique, by manipulating generated pure waves
*
Wavetable synthesis, sound synthesis technique
*
Sample-based synthesis
Sample-based synthesis is a form of audio synthesis that can be contrasted to either subtractive synthesis or additive synthesis. The principal difference with sample-based synthesis is that the seed waveforms are sampled sounds or instrument ...
