Greetings,
I was brought to this website by an archived thread titled "Convert CSV to WAV" from the ancient time of 2013. I was trying to do much the same thing as the Guest who started that thread. As I am unable to reply to that thread (due to its archived nature) I wanted to post something here for the next weary traveler seeking to convert csv to wav.
I have found that this can be done successfully with an open-source audio tool called "Audacity".
You'll need to normalize your csv data to within +/- 1 as Audacity treats this as full scale. You'll also need to export your csv to a tab-delimited *.txt file. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. From the Audacity toolbar select Generate>Sample Data Import...
You'll specify the name of the txt file that you saved (make sure to save your text file at <root>/Users/[user name] as this is where Audacity looks by default as the "home" location. Click "OK".
I've only brought in Mono audio this way, but Audacity's manual indicates that with the right specification in your data file, you can import Stereo as well. Anyway, have fun.
