Hear clicking sound when drive away?
Check your oil level-could be the valvetrain.
Why does sound become quieter further away?
It gets quieter for a couple of reasons. The initial amount of energy that produces a sound is finite. There is only so much and no more, however loud the initial sound is. As the sound expands outward, it is expanding in every direction until it hits something that absorbs it. The sound energy is absorbed by the ground, by the air, and by everything that is in its path. A lot of the sound expands upward and is dissipated, even if there is nobody above to hear it. So the energy is getting absorbed by something, right from the beginning. Also, because the sound wave is opening up somewhat like a bubble, the energy must thin out for that reason alone, independently of its absorption by things. If a sound has the same intensity a half mile away as it does 100 meters away, it would mean that the total energy in the 'bubble' would have multiplied many, many times, since no matter where you are on the radius of the half-mile bubble, you would hear it at the original intensity. This cannot happen; there is only so much energy from the initial sound and no more.
When you shout a warning to a friend 50 meters away what carries the sound?
The air carries the sound. If you shouted on the moon, nobody would hear you as there is no atmosphere
When a sound source is moving away from an observer the observer will hear a lower pitch. This is due to?
This is due to the Doppler effect.
The outsiders what unusual sound do they hear?
What unusual sound do they hear in the fire?
How far away can you hear a husky howl?
they can hear more than 1 mile
Can a cat hear its masters voice from 1 mile away?
Cats have great hearing but I think a mile is a bit far for a cat to hear. I haven't found anything that says that a cat can hear it a mile away.
How far away can a German shepherd hear?
Possibly up to a mile or two away.
Is it true that dogs can hear better than humans?
Yes, it's true. They can hear noises from a mile away.
From how far away can you hear the pecking of a woodpecker?
It depends on the ambient noise level. On a quiet dawn, you can hear them from up to a half mile away, sometimes farther in mountains and valleys. Even when there are lots of other noises, the familiar staccato sound can be distinguished for some distance. Some suburban woodpeckers mistake aluminum posts for trees, giving a unique "phone ringing" sound as they futilely hammer away.
Whose sound is enough to send us a mile away?
Lion
Can an astronaut hear a mile away when helmet mic is broke?
Because sound needs particles to travel through ; when a sound from inside one helmet is made, the particles vibrate the surrounding particles therefore vibrating the other astronauts helmet particles ( as they are touching) allowing him to hear the sound.
When do you hear sound traveling from far away?
almost instantly.
How can elephants hear from far away?
they funnel in the sound waves from the enviroment
Is the old saying true that if you put your ear to a railroad track you can hear a train that is mile away?
Yes, if there is no other force acting upon the railroad track then you would be able to hear the train about a mile away. Unfortunately this is dangerous because there is no way to tell exactly how far away the train is.
How far away can you hear a tornado?
It varies widely. In some cases a tornado can be heard over a mile away, in other cases you can't hear it until it's just about on top of you.
How do you figure the distance of storms from you?
If it is a thunderstorm, you check how long it takes to hear the thunder after you see a lightning strike. For every five seconds, the lightning strike is about one mile away. The lightning causes the thunder, and the sound travels at a speed of about one mile per five seconds.
