Transient
From WikiRecording
In acoustics and audio, a transient is a short-duration signal that represents a non-harmonic attack phase of a musical sound or spoken word. It contains a high degree of non-periodic components and a higher magnitude of high frequencies than the harmonic content of that sound. Transients do not directly depend on the frequency of the tone they initiate.
Transient Peaks
Transient peaks are can often induce distortion. This is particularly a problem in digital audio because crossing the ceiling of the equipments headroom causes digital distortion which sounds very nasty.
