A transient is a short-duration non-tonal, non-periodic sound element, usually of high amplitude and typically comprising high-frequency components. In the case of sounds generated by musical instruments, transients inherently present at the beginning of tonal waveforms are often critical to the instrument's aural signature and recognition. Transients can also be caused by a variety of fault conditions, such as incorrect clocking in digital systems.
