Put it by something which will resonate in sympathy with it, such as a soundbox or sympathetic string.
If electricity is an option, electrical amplification can make a sound as loud as needed.

∙ 10y agoTo make the tuning fork produce more sound intensity, strike it harder.
To make the sound more audible after the fork is struck, touch the base
of the fork to a tabletop, the door of a cabinet, the side of a wooden box,
the bottom of a guitar, your front tooth, or the bone behind your ear.

What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?
the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.
What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?
A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.
What happens to the sound when you hit a tuning fork and put it in a cupboard?
The sound would be muted if a tuning fork is hit and then placed into a cupboard.
What has more harmonics in its sound a tuning fork or guitar?
A guitar is a far more complex structure than a tuning fork, and has more harmonics. The whole design of a tuning fork is intended to give as simple and pure a sound as possible, since that is the easiest type of sound to use when you are trying to tune an instrument. You wouldn't want harmonics in a tuning fork.
A tuning fork of frequency 300Hz will resonate if a sound wave incident on it has a frequency of what?
300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs
Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?
It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave
What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?
the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.
Why will a struck fork sound louder when it is held against a table?
it amplifies them because the table vibrates as well as the tuning fork

How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?
Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.
A tuning fork of frequency 300Hz will resonate if a sound wave incident on it has a frequency of what?
300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs
Why can tuning fork sounds be made louder by standing them on an empty wooden box?
a wooden surface is better for a tuning fork rather than, say, a metal surface because the wood vibrates less than metal, and doesn't interfere with the vibrations of the fork. rubber is probably the best surface to hit a fork on.
What vibrates between the tuning fork and the eardrum to carry the sound?
The air experiences a longitudinal pressure wave, which some might call a vibration, as it transmits sound from a tuning fork to the ear.
What does the tuning fork do to produce a sound wave in the air?
Most tuning forks are designed to resonate at 440 hertz when struck. That is the frequency of the A before middle C on a keyboard or the A string on a guitar, violin, etc. You just strike the tuning fork then adjust the tension on your A string until the string vibrates at the same frequency as the tuning fork. Then you tune the rest of your strings from the A string.
What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?
The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.
