How do string instruments produce sound?

the string is either plucked, strummed, or drawn on with a bow. When this happens sound/notes are produced, although not very loudly. they amplify the sound with the body of the instrument, which acts as a resonator, thus amplifying and prolonging the note.


What causes music and noise?

In our ears, we have hairs that are set to receive different pitches. When a hair picks up a sound, a signal is sent to the brain. When the instrument makes a sound, it disturbs the air molecules around it. The vibration wave travels out and hits our ears.
