Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper is well-written. Authors could discuss more on advantages of using time domain or frequency domain methods.

Reviewer 2 Report
To be honest, it is very hard to follow what have been done in this study because of the poor English writing and there are too many parameters and very little background information is presented for the model used. This paper needs extensive English editing in order for further submission for publication. There are too many errors in English grammar and word usages.
Introduction: The paper is mainly about the contribution of even and odd sound wave modes to the excitation of traveling waves, however the introduction section does not present the rationale and give a thorough literature review. Most of the references cited were published before 2014 including some books. Any study should be based on some previous research work and I don't see in the references.
It is really difficult for general readers to understand the model used. The paper should focus on some important changes made.
Fig. 2: It is not clear how the figure in panel (f) was generated and please give more details.
The current version of the paper is not acceptable for consideration of publication. I cannot even judge the validity of the study and its results because of its writing.
