The results below are taken from an FFT using a webcam microphone to analyse the output across an array
of frequencies for a square wave inputted into
an MBed application board built-in speaker. The results below show what frequencies to avoid/use by detailing the frequencies where the speaker resonates.
Below is a mini block diagram of the test ran:

1600 210,260, N- Amplitude
1600 is very close to many other frequencies in the 600Hz- 2KHz band. Especially when viewed live through the FFT graph 1700 210,1700 N- Amplitude is very close to many other frequencies in the 600Hz- 2KHz band. Especially when viewed live through the FFT graph 1800 210 N- Speaker amplitude at this frequency is too low
1900 N/A N- Speaker N/A – Similar to 1800Hz
amplitude at this frequency is too low 2000 N/A N- Speaker N/A- Similar to 1800Hz amplitude at this frequency is too low
