Sound is really tiny fluctuations of air pressure
– units of pressure: N/m2 or psi (lbs/square-inch)
Carried through air at 343 m/s (770 m.p.h) as
compressions and rarefactions in air pressure
or T
pressure
A sonogram is a special
kind of graph that shows
how loud sound is at
different frequencies.
Every person’s sonogram
is different, even when
saying the same word.
The eardrum vibrates
in response to sound
waves in the ear canal.
The three delicate
bones of the inner ear
transmit the vibration
of the eardrum to the
side of the cochlea.
The fluid in the spiral
of the cochlea vibrates
and creates waves that
travel up the spiral.
The nerves near the
beginning see a
relatively large channel
and respond to longer
wavelength, low
frequency sound.
Beats are created by the interference of two waves with different frequencies.
A listener will hear the alternating loudness, known
as beats.
The number of beats per second, called the beat
frequency, equals the difference between the
frequencies of the two individual waves.
To tune an instrument accurately, a musician
listens carefully and adjusts her instrument to
eliminate beats between the instrument and a given
pitch.
Echolocation is the method
of detecting objects by
emitting a sound, receiving
the echo and correctly
identifying the location, size
and structure of the object.
These sound waves are very
high-pitched, and most
humans are unable to hear
them.
The same note sounds different when played on different
instruments because the sound from an instrument is not
a single pure frequency.
The variation comes from the harmonics, multiples of
the fundamental note.
