'''Electrical network frequency''' ('''ENF''') '''analysis''' is a [[forensic science]] technique for validating [[audio recording]]s by comparing frequency changes in background [[mains hum]] in the recording with long-term high-precision historical records of [[mains frequency]] changes from a database.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.diamondcut.com/Downloads/AppNote4DiamondCut.pdf|title=Digital Audio Recording Analysis: The Electric Network Frequency Criterion|author=Catalin Grigoras|publisher=Diamond Cut Productions, Inc}}</ref>
 
In effec the mains hum signal is treated as if it was a time-dependent [[digital watermark]] that can be used to identify the time at which the recording was created, and to help detect any edits in the sound recording.<ref> Cooper, A.J: {{cite web|url=http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=14411|title=The electric network frequency (ENF) as an aid to authenticating forensic digital audio recordings – an automated approach}}, Conference paper, AES 33rd International Conference, USA (2008)</ref>
