The vibrations are what makes the sound. The higher strings vibrate very quickly so it is difficult to see, but the low pitch of the low E string means that you can see it vibrating.

What vibrates when each what musical instruments is played?

Any other instrument with the same or similar pitch. Eg. If you play an A on your E string on a guitar, your A string will in turn vibrate by itself. Or if you tune a snare drum to E, when your bass player plays an E the snare will rattle very much!

How does a guitar make a noise?

Acoustic: The string vibrates - this causes the sounding board of the guitar to vibrate at the same frequency (note). The velocity of a wave through the soundboard is higher than that of the string, so the soundboard causes sounds much louder than the strings. Electric: The string vibrates, which disrupts the magnetic field of the pickups. Whatever frequency a string vibrates at causes a different magnetic flux. An electrical current can be induced by a change in magnetic flux. This current is sent to an amp, which produces the sound.

How do you make a loud sound on a guitar?

The volume of the guitar determines on how hard the string is strummed, how much room it has to echo, and the environment the guitar is being played in. The loudest sound from a guitar will come when the string is strummed hard, allowed to ring freely with no other contact, and is played in a large, open room.

How does a guitar make sound?

Acoustic guitar:When the string is plucked, the vibrations from the string sets the air inside the guitar in motion. These movements are picked up and amplified by the body of the guitar, before exiting the hole in the middle and in to our ears. How loud you play is determined by how hard you play, as well as what type of wood your guitar is made of and it's size - size matters.Electric guitar:When the string is plucked, the vibrations from the string are picked up electronically in different ways, depending on what pickups you're using (single-coil pickups have only one metalthread that can move the sound forward, as compared to a humbuckers with two coils), and is transmitted via the guitar cable to the amplifier to make sound. Inside the amplifier there are transistors and other technical stuff that amplify the sound. How loud you play is determined by how much electrical current you let pass through from the amplifier to the guitar and vice-versa (both the guitar and amplifier has volume-knobs), and is made possible by turning your volume-button up or down.Electric guitar: The strings vibrate over the pickups, which are electromagnets with wire wrapped around them. They pick up the vibrations of the string and turn them into an electrical signal (electromagnetic induction). The body of the guitar helps to clarify these vibrations. The signal is then transferred to the amplifier, which of course amplifies this tiny signal.Acoustic guitar: The sound from the strings resonate in the body of the guitar and is thereby amplified. Further amplification requires microphones etc.
