Why is the D string of my acoustic sound so loud when you plug it into an amp?

Probably because the tone settings on your amp or guitar are boosting that frequency range.

What is an acoustic electric guitar?
Acoustic-electric guitars are acoustic styled guitars with a pickup either outside or inside the hollow body. You plug a cable into it like you would a normal electric guitar and it can be used through an amplifier to make the sound louder. They can also be played without being plugged in just like a normal acoustic guitar
Can an amplifier be installed to an acoustic guitar?
Yes it can but it has to have the plug in to it.
Can you use your Electric-Acoustic with an Electric amp?
Sure you can but, it will not sound near as good as if you use an amp made just for acoustic guitars. Electric guitar amps all have distortion even if it is set and sounds perfectly clean to your ears....distortion is not an acoustic guitars friend. If you dont believe me go to a guitar store and plug in an electric acoustic into each amp...you will see what I mean.
What is an electro acoustic bass?
Much like an electo/acoustic guitar. This is simply and acoustic bass with a pickup in it. This allows you to use it for small acoustic gigs but when more volume is needed you can easily plug it in and ramp it up!
How is a sound produced in a bass instrument?
Sounds (all of them) are produced by vibration. The faster the vibration, the higher the pitch. Whether the vibration is produced on a string or with air, it's the speed of the vibration, and the length that vibration has to travel that determines the pitch.
What kind sounds of guitar?
In my opinion, an acoustic plug-in guitar sounds best. You can plug it in and amplify the sound, and if you plug in a sound head, switch to distortion. It's funny.

How do you tune a guitar properly?
You use a tuner! Making sure the pitch of the string is neither flat or sharp. Normal tuning for a guitar is E A D G B E (lowest, thickest string to highest, thinnest string in case you didn't know. Just plug the guitar in ,if you have an electric, with a cable or put the tuner near the guitar, acoustic. The tuner should have a little mic to pick up the sound if your tuning an acoustic.

Is acoustic guitar different from electric guitar?
Normally a guitar is considered 'acoustic' if it requires no amplification ie you don't have to plug it in to anything to be heard. This means its body is hollow which allows the sound to reverberate when the strings are struck. An obvious example is a classical guitar. An 'electric' guitar usually has a solid body and to be heard properly, needs to be plugged into an amplifier. With an electric guitar it's the pickups under the strings that capture the string vibrations, turn them into electrical signal which then get amplified to produce the sound. Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster are examples of electric guitars. There are hybrids though: electro-acoustic guitars look like normal acoustic guitars but thay can also be plugged into an amplifier to produce a louder sound. With these, the sound is produced by the hollow body and by a special pickup (piezo) - typically located in the bridge (where the strings are anchored to the guitar's body)
What happens in your brain when you reflexively plug your ears because of a loud or unpleasant sound?
Nothing really, this is a reflex response and your brain is made aware of it.

What is the difference between an electric guitar and a acoustic guitar?
An Electric Guitar has 'Pickups' in it. Pickups are steel bars wrapped with wire that hear the vibrations produced by the strings and send this small signal to an amplifier. E guitars usually have 'solid bodies', the pickups/amplifier are how we hear the sound. Acoustic Guitars have hollow bodies which amplify the vibrations from the strings, similar to a violin, cello, or upright bass. There are also Acoustic/Electic guitars which are hollow body but also have pickups, they have a really nice sound and are useful for playing in front of large audiences where all of the other instruments are amplified.
