How does the speed of an object's vibration affects its sound?

Sound is the way that our ears and brains interpret compression waves (waves parallel to the direction of travel of the wave). As an object vibrates, it compresses and decompresses the air around it very quickly creating a compression wave. When the frequency of the object's vibration is faster, the rate at which it compresses and decompresses the air around it also is faster, meaning that our ears pick up a higher pitched sound. Slower vibrations create a lower pitched sound.

Speed of sound in fresh water?
the speed of sound of water at 25 degrees centigrade is 1497 m/s.
Why is there no speed of sound rate at -543c?
There is no such temperature.
Why are some photographs of moving objects clear enough?
A fast shutter speed enables a photographer to capture clear images of moving objects.
What is the speed of sound in concrete?
Between 3200 and 3600 m/s, the closer together the particles are in a substance are, the faster sound can travel through it. This is why these values are much higher than the 343 m/s, the speed of sound in air.
Squealing sound at the front of a car. It doesnt happen when car is in idle Car is a turbo starlet standard. Sound tends to increase in speed with the increase in speed of the car But sometimes absent?
Probably a worn or loose belt
How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
Is it the speed or the size of the vibration that changes the pitch of a sound?
Neither. Speed of sound waves doesn't change unless there is a change in the medium (substance through which the wave moves). the size of the vibration determines how loud the sound is. the length of the vibration is what determines the pitch.
What is a quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves?
conduction
What is the quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves?
heat
What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?
Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.
The speed of what tells whether a sound will be a high or low pitch?
The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch. Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
What do you called if the Speed of objects less than the speed of sound?
Subsonic
What makes the buzzing sound on a honeybee?
The high speed flapping of their wings makes a vibration sound that is the 'buzz' that you can hear.
How does temp and humidity change the speed of sound?
Yes, it affects the density of air and thus the speed of sound in air.
How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?
It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC energy.
How does each factor affect transmission of sound waves?
Pressure does not make any change in the speed of sound But temperature affects it. Velocity is proportional to the square root of kelvin temperature Humidity also affects the speed of sound. Higher the humidity more the speed
