We study the vibrational spectra of one-dimensional statically compressed granular crystals (arrays of elastic particles in contact) containing defects. We focus on the prototypical settings of one or two spherical defects (particles of smaller radii) interspersed in a chain of larger uniform spherical particles. We measure the near-linear frequency spectrum within the spatial vicinity of the defects, and identify the frequencies of the localized defect modes. We compare the experimentally determined frequencies with those obtained by numerical eigen-analysis and by analytical expressions based on few-site considerations. We also present a brief numerical and experimental example of the nonlinear generalization of a single-defect localized mode.
