" distort "

 [ "distortion" ]

1: A sound that is not part of the original signal. Distortion can be a modification of the original signal (intermodulation distortion), or generating new signals that result from the interference of a combination of signals (harmonic distortion). Can be characterized as a roughness, fuzziness, harshness, or stridency in the music. There are many distortions that can be measured: IM (intermodulation distortion), harmonic distortion, and TIM (transient intermediation distortion).

  * e.g.,  ... Distortion can cause breakup, where the headphone can’t handle the power or the low frequencies, which causes sound to crack up.
