Analagous to the ringing of a bell, it is the rise and decay time before and after the transducer reaches maximum amplitude Expressed as the mechanical Q of the transducer which is the number of cycles it takes to get up to 90% of maximum amplitude, or down to 10% above zero amplitude
The tendency of a filter to oscillate for a time when a transient waveform is applied to it
Ringing is the response of the decay of the output signal from a filter when the driving signal is suddenly removed See the section on Ringing Response for some typical examples
an alternating or pulsating current intended to produce an audible or visible alerting signal
