Since a triangle has a small opening not quite touching the other end it created the small pitched sound, by holding it with your hand it makes the small opening vibrate trough your fingers practically making a pathway to the other end thus making the sound duller.

What makes sound quieter?

Sound can be quieter if it travels a shorter distance, encounters more obstacles or barriers which absorb or dissipate the sound energy, or if the source of the sound is less powerful or further away from the listener. Additionally, using materials that absorb or dampen sound waves can also make the sound quieter.

A loudspeaker makes sounds by vibrating a cardboard cone what happens to the vibrations of the cone as the sound gets quieter?

As the sound gets quieter, the vibrations of the cardboard cone decrease in amplitude and frequency. This results in less movement of the cone, producing a softer sound.

What do you called when sound waves interfere together and result in quieter sound?

When sound waves interfere and result in quieter sound, it is known as destructive interference. This occurs when waves are out of phase and cancel each other out, reducing the overall amplitude of the sound.


What happens to sound waves as they move away from the source of the sound?

Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?

No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.
