How does a tuning fork make a sound?

A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.

Most tuning forks play a concert A at 440 Hz

The sound would be muted if a tuning fork is hit and then placed into a cupboard.

To 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.

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.

the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.

300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs

it amplifies them because the table vibrates as well as the tuning fork

The air experiences a longitudinal pressure wave, which some might call a vibration, as it transmits sound from a tuning fork to the ear.

The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.

The note A-natural sounds different on a tuning fork, a violin, and a flute because of the relative amplitudes of harmonics.

it vibrates and the sound is louder

That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.

It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave

ya...the tuning fork was vibrating and different rating forks are available.eg:-512 vibrations/sec. actually,the sound was produced due to the phenomenon known as RESONANCE.

a tuning fork and a walky-talky

Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.

A tuning fork is used for tuning instruments. You take the tuning fork, hit it against something and it will give a certain note, depending on the fork. You then tune the instrument using the tuning fork's note as reference.

The (sound - vibration) energy is absorbed by the flesh.

a tuning fork is used for a sciencetific experemnts

I can say tuning fork.

as soon as the bottom of the tuning fork touches the desk, the sound in the room becomes louder. This known as resonance. the sound is louder because there are more objects vibrating.

The tuning fork was invented in 1711 and is U shaped with a handle. When struck the fork produces a very pure tone when it vibrates. The forks can be manufactured to a specific length and used by mucisians, so when struck, produce a sound equal to A, International Concert Pitch. This sound has long been used as a tuning note for orchestras. They have Medical uses to test a patients hearing. They are used in Radar Gun Calibration and the quartz crystal in watches is in the shape of a tuning fork

A tuning fork set into vibration. It's the movement of sound through the air or other medium.
