The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)

What part of the outer ear transmits sound by vibrating?
When a sound is made outside the outer ear, the sound waves, or vibrations, travel down the external auditory canal and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound.
What part of the ear receives sound waves first?
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
How does the eardrum work?
the ear drum is a part of your ear which vibrates to send the sound onto the three small bones.
What enables us to talk?
Your two vocal cords produce the sound. This pair vibrates to produce the phonation or sound. Then your tongue, palate, cheeks and lips take part to give the talk its final touch.
Which part of your ear do sound waves enter through?
Sound waves technically enter through the Auricle, the outside, visible part of the ear. From there, they hit the Tympanic Membrane (ear drum) and vibrate the ossicles (small bones in the ear), where the waves are transferred into the cochlea and organ of corti, where they're detected and changed to nerve impulses.
Which part of the ear vibrates at the frequency of sound waves?
The eardrum
Which part vibrates to produce sound in Bugle?
We just learned about this in science class. Air vibrates throughout the tube part and out the bell to produce sound waves.
In a stringed musical instrument the part that vibrates in a resonance with the sound waves produced by the strings is called the?
In a stringed musical instrument, the part that vibrates in a resonance with the sound waves produced by the strings is called the sounding board.
Which part of the cello vibrates to make the sound?
the string, and the waves go into the body and reverberate around, and come out the f holes and make the sound.
Which part of guitar vibrates to produce sound?
The strings.
What part of the outer ear transmits sound by vibrating?

How does a musical instrument make sound waves in the air?
Musical instruments have some part that vibrates at a regular frequency. This vibrating part makes the air around it vibrate and these vibrations make the sound waves. The part that vibrates is often a string or a reed or a drum-head or in the case of horns, the player's lips. The vibrations are amplified by a column of air or a sounding board or something else that resonates at the frequency produced by the original vibration.
Which part of tabla vibrates to produce sounds?
The membrane of tabla vibrates to produce a sound.
Which part of an electric bell vibrates to produce sound?
An electric bell is basically a metal dome that vibrates when struck by a small hammer. An electromagnet is used to make the hammer strike the bell, moving the hammer back and forth very quickly.
What is the vibrating part in a piano?
the strings... when you press a key down a series of mechanisms from the key to the hammer work together to make the hammer strike the string, which vibrates, creating the sound
Which part of Drum is vibrating part?
