Hair cells that enable us to distinguish the high frequency sound of a whistle from the low frequency sound of a tuba are found in what structure of the ear?

They are located in the spiral organ (organ of Corti). This structure is located in the cochlea.


What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?

No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.


How low or high a sound seems?

Sound is pressure waves travelling through the air. The brain can detect the difference in sound frequency, based on the distance between pressure waves, by the ear which physically responds to incoming sound waves. Volume, frequency and direction are identified, then translated and sent to the brain as electrical signals.

Where can you found a loud high pitch sound?

The pitch of a sound is a perception created in the brain, when it receives the electrical signals that thesound sets up in the ear. The brain interprets higher frequency sound as having higher pitch, andlower frequency sound as having lower pitch.


A high frequency sound will be heard as a low or high sound?

high


What is a sound wave of a high pressure called?

A sound wave with high sound pressure (amplitude) or high sound particle displacement (amplitude) is a sound wave that has a high loudness.


What are the effects of the inner core?

The inner core is solid, even though it has a high temperature, because of the high pressure in the center of Earth.
