Low frequency sound is usually called "infrasound" analagous to the term "infrared" for light of less than visible wavelengths. Subsonic has also been used.

Which kind of waves are sound vibrations made of?

Sound vibrations are made of mechanical waves known as longitudinal waves. In these waves, the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This vibration causes a transfer of energy that our ears perceive as sound.


How are sound made?

Simply put, sounds are made through vibrations in the air. We can translate these vibrations into sound because of our ear drums.


How a sound is made by a harp?

Vibrations from the strings.


How is frequency made?

Frequency is a measure of how often something occurs within a given time frame. In the context of sound waves, frequency is determined by the number of vibrations per second, commonly measured in Hertz (Hz). In electronics, frequency can be generated using oscillators or by adjusting the input voltage frequency.


Sometimes you feel the vibrations from a sound source before you hear the source itself Why is this?

Sound travels in waves. Our ears register these waves and convert them into noise; however, our ears can only detect a very small range of sound waves. Many sound waves have a frenquency that is much too high or too low for our ears to "hear". If you've ever blown a dog whistle and made your pup yelp in pain while you couldn't hear a thing then you understand. The vibrations that you feel are low frequency sound waves which your body can feel but your ears can't hear. It is only when the higher frequency waves get to you that you hear the source.


What is the meaning frequency of sound?

The frequency of sound refers to the number of vibrations per second produced by a sound wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and determines the pitch of the sound - higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. The frequency of a sound wave is directly related to its perceived pitch by the human ear.


Is a sound wave continuous?

A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.


What are the electric squiggles that represent the relationship between the sound made or spoken then heard?

The electric squiggles represent sound waves in the form of an audio waveform. When a sound is made or spoken, it creates vibrations that are converted into electrical signals by a microphone. These signals are then visually displayed as squiggly lines on a screen, representing the sound's amplitude and frequency.


Why is sound made when you slam the door?

Because when you slam the door the door makes vibrations and sounds are made by vibrations.


Why did Alexander graham bel demonstrate vibrations while teaching his students to speak?

Because sound is made of vibrations.


How many vibrations per second are made with high c?

5 vibrations per second are made with high c


What is the sound of a wave?

The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.
