What cause humans to hear sound?

Sound travels through the air - causing the ear-drum to vibrate. This sends impulses to teh brain which is interpreted as sound.


Which two types of energy does the sound of a bass drum come?

The sound of a bass drum primarily comes from mechanical energy and sound energy. When the drummer strikes the drumhead, mechanical energy is transferred to the drum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations then produce sound energy, which travels through the air as sound waves.


When you bang on a drum with the drum sticks where does he sound come from?

When you bang the drumsticks on the animal hide, the vibration travels through it into the vibration box. It doesn't produce a note but a amplified hollow vibration.


Does sound travel through a bass drum?

Yes. Sound travels through any kind of basedrum, it can be a basedrum for a drumset or for a performing band or symphony. Make a sound on the same or opposite side of the basedrum and listen. Or you can have someone whisper something on the one side and try to hear what they say while you hold your ear close to opposite side of the basedrum. That is an example of sound traveling through a basedrum. Your Welcome


All sounds are produced by?

Vibrating 'air' particles, through a transfer of energy; creating a sound wave which then reaches your ears and vibrates your ear drum. (doesn't have to be air, sound also travels through water ect)


What sound does the African drum make?

When you hit the top of the drum (also known as the head), the sound vibrates down through the drum and out through the hollow hole at the bottom. This is why professional drummers hold the drum between there knees so that the sound is clear and doesn't drown out.


How does sound travel through a drum?

When a drum is struck, the impact creates vibrations in the drum head and shell. These vibrations travel through the air inside the drum, creating sound waves that we hear. The shape and material of the drum can affect the way the sound waves travel and the tone of the sound produced.


How is sound created on a drum?

Sound is created on a drum when the drumhead is struck with a drumstick or hand, causing the drumhead to vibrate. These vibrations travel through the air as sound waves, which we hear as the sound of the drum.


How do you hear the sound coming from a drum?

Through sound waves travelling as vibrations through the air.


How does a drum work to produce sound?

A drum produces sound when it is struck, causing the drumhead to vibrate. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through the air and reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound of the drum.


How does sound travel with graphic?

Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up the vibrations as they travel through the ear and bounce of the ear drum. Low sounds create bigger waves and high sound are small waves closer together.


How would a drum in earth sound different than one in outer space?

A drum in Earth would create sound vibrations that travel through air, which allow us to hear it. In outer space, where there is no air, the drum would not create sound as there is no medium to carry the vibrations. The sound of the drum would only be heard by astronauts through the vibrations traveling through the materials they are touching.
