Article Review: Sound Is Everywhere By Jason Wells

When a person with normal hearing hears the sound travels along the ear then bounces against the ear drum. The eardrum, the bones inside, and the cochlea vibrate and move thousands of tiny hairs inside the ear. When these hairs move an electrical response occurs. This electrical response goes to the hearing nerve and then it is send to the brain.

A sound wave is a disturbance that repeats regularly in space and time and that transmits energy from one place to another with no transfer of matter. In Activity 2 on page 8 we had to model sound waves using an instrument. In our class we used a flute as the example and when the person blew into it, sound waves were produced. As they blew and changed the volume and pitch the sound waves changed. A sound wave is created when something vibrates. When something vibrates, longitudinal waves are created which we can hear. A longitudinal wave is a wave that transfers energy through compressions and rarefactions in the material that the wave travels which are all parts of a sound wave. In Activity 2 it states in some parts of the wave, the air molecules

5. Sound is the movement of air molecules brought about by a source of vibration. Skin senses – touch, pressure, temperature, and a pain – play a critical role in survival, making us aware of potential danger to our bodies. Thus, sound and skin senses allowed passengers to detect the aircraft’s motion. For example, ears start to feel weird and heavy pressure on your body.

Sound is a wave, and a wave can be remembered as a medium, carrying energy from one point to another. The sound wave has a resemblance of a slinky in its nature, for many reasons. The disturbance goes from one place to another, carried by the medium. Typically, the medium will carry energy through the air, although it could be any substance like water and steel. There is an original source of the wave; anything from someone’s vibrating vocal chords, or a tuning fork. Then, the sound is transported through the medium through particle-to-particle interaction. If the sound wave is moving through the

“Is there some special power to the sound?” Are they magic objects with special properties?” The answer to these questions are both yes and no. Sound is very powerful and fundamental to our very existence.

Sound is quite simple. It is nothing but a simple mechanical, longitudinal wave. When there is only one wave, everything is simple and easy. However, when there are two or more waves, they interfere. This mostly happens in one of two ways.

Sound is something quite special, impactful, and adds layers of elements and complexity to a film. As with the progression of the movie making medium, sound has grown and changed drastically over the decades. However, sound cues in the form of effects, dialogue, and everything in between, shapes our perceptions of a scene and movie.

A sound wave is defined as a disturbance through a medium--in the case of your piano, the vibrating strings cause a disturbance in the air around you. Your ears detect this

A hearing protection device (HPD) is often used as a protective measure in a workplace environment when the sound levels of that environment cannot be decreased and such levels pose a threat to the hearing of workers. An HPD is a safety device worn by individual’s to protect his or her hearing from the harmful effects of sound (Berger, 2003). A variety of occupational environments are known to produce high levels of noise, including factories and military operations. Individuals employed in these professions may be required to wear HPDs to reduce the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. However, certain situations in these work environments require the listener to also be able to hear low-level sounds for safety reasons.

Sound is an important input affecting the nervous system. The brain reacts to sound input because information signals are able to travel from the outside environment, across action potentials and through the neural

Sound is energy that's released in the form of vibrations.Longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction.The ear is shaped similar to a funnel and that allows it to collect the different sound waves that can reach it.Vibrations are created by a longitudinal wave that' sent out, but it does not guarantee that anyone would be able to hear sound.

The interesting question is how waves can become meaningful sounds. First off we must know that sound is a wave. It is impossible for sound to be a particle or atom because if it was a particle the two different sounds would eventually collide and if sound was an atom one sound would deflect another and neither one of these situations ever happens. A characteristic of sound is that different sounds pass through one another, for example, a sound and its echo. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that sound is a form of wave. Sound is molecules vibrating back and forth creating what we call a longitudinal wave. However, very few times do we consider sound as flow of power yet that is exactly what it is. It is a power that flows through the air steadily. The speed at which it travels depends on the temperature and the

The sound waves are produced by a random oscillating crystal, and are inaudible to humans. A instrument called a

Sound waves with low amplitude can only be heard so far away. With that said, the riddle’s answer if false. Just because we can not hear sound waves does not mean that a falling tree is mute of sound. Through the use of physics, one can understand that energy process of a falling tree. The conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be destroyed nor created; therefore, energy transfers into friction, heat, velocity of the tree, and sound. To conclude, our auditory process is amazing. Transforming sound vibrations into auditory input is absolutely mind boggling. To be technical, no, a tree falling does not create audible sound when we are out of range, but to say that it doesn’t create any sound is a false

According to the teachings of the Sufi Order of Naqshbandi - Haqqani School of Thought, Sound and Silence are not two opposite concepts, as usually thought of. Both of them refer to Sound per se but their sources are different. The Sound, that is familiar to us, the audible Sound, is called as the Sound of the Known. On the other hand, Silence, the non-audible sound, represents the sound of the Unknown. (This reminds us of the Ahat Nada and Anahat Nada of Nada Yoga!). The Sound of the Unknown is referred to as “HU”. “Hu” is both a Sound and a Holy Name of God. The sound "Hu" is considered as the most basic vibration in the universe. It is the subtlest sound, or the smallest vibration, that is produced whenever an object moves in the universe. Since nothing in creation is in perfect state of rest (electrons are constantly moving around the nucleus), it may be safe to say that there is no place in this universe where the sound "Hu" is not produced.
