What is a .wav file?

WAV (Waveform Audio) is a RIFF-based container that typically holds uncompressed linear PCM audio, though it can wrap other codecs. Because samples are stored raw, files are large but lossless and simple to read, with configurable sample rate, bit depth, and channel count. It is the standard format for high-fidelity and intermediate audio.

How to use this file

Use an example WAV to test PCM decoding, sample-rate and bit-depth handling, waveform rendering, and audio pipelines that need a lossless reference source.

How to use this file for testing

“Peak-Clip Pair 04 — Clean (660 Hz)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Loudness / LUFS, Audio analysis. Documented loudness ladders, clipped vs clean twins, and sample-rate conversion sets for loudness meters and normalizers.

Documented properties for this file: seed 2104 · clean · 16000 Hz. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Media fixtures are short and synthetic by design. Prefer waveform or transcript ground truth in the same group when measuring ASR, trim, upscale, or sync tools; do not assume broadcast-quality masters.

Measure integrated loudness / true peak against the documented amplitude or clip role. Ladder rungs differ only by level, so meter regressions are easy to attribute.
