A simple experiment demonstrating the connection between chaos and music

Abstract

In this pedagogical paper we study the dripping pattern of a leaking faucet which we analyse on the basis of a musical procedure which we outline and match the power spectral density of these drops (which are recorded as noise signals over time) to verify the $\frac{1}{f^{\beta }}$ power law which characterizes the nature of such systems with non linear characteristics.
