How can the interference of two sound waves produce a louder sound?

Yes as a matter of fact it can. for example take two stones and go to a like throw one in the water and shortly after throw the other one within three feet of the first stone. Now view the ripples. Like sound the ripples crated from one emission can effect and enlargen the ripples from another.

∙ 12y agoThe amplitude of two waves combine, causing the loudness of the sound to change. When interferance is constructive, compressions of waves occur at the same place and the amplitudes combine. The rusulting sound is louder than either of the two oringinal sounds.

What will you hear if two sound waves interfere constructively?
louder
What is it called sound waves interact with each other?
the interaction between sound waves is called interference.
How is music affected in an auditorium when there is destructive interference of sound waves?
Destructive interference is where two sound waves mix and cancel each other out to some extent. If destructive interference is occurring, the sound level will be lower than you would otherwise expect. A properly designed auditorium will use both destructive and constructive interference where required to achieve the desired clarity of sound.
What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
Are higher freqeuncy sound waves louder?
No. They are higher pitched. Frequency determines pitch (the difference between the sound of a bass and a piccolo) but amplitude determines volume.
Why does resonance make sound louder?
Because the constructive interference of the sound waves.
How does the constructive interference make the orchestra louder?
because the sound waves combine to make a bigger louder wave
What property of the sound waves changed to produce the louder volume?
Well, the sound waves get bigger due to increase in volume, but the pitch does not changes, the waves themselves in real life get louder and therefore harder to absorb
Why does a guitar string produce a louder sound if it is plucked harder?
the larger the amplitude at which something vibrates = the louder the sound. so by plucking a string harder, you're increasing the amplitude of the sound waves and thus increasing the sound volume
What is sound louder than?
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
What do two sound waves make?
Two sound waves may make an interference pattern.
What will you hear if two sound waves interfere constructively?
louder
Can sound form interference pattern?
Interference is a phenomenon meant for waves. Being sound a wave, though longitudinal, it can form the interference pattern.
What is it called sound waves interact with each other?
the interaction between sound waves is called interference.
