How does sound travel through a drum?
It gos throught the drum from help from 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
What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
What type of wave causes us to hear a sound?
Sound is carried through the air by pressure waves. Think of the ripples in a pond caused by a thrown rock. The crests of the ripples would correspond to higher air pressure while the troughs would correspond to lower pressure. These pressure waves, moving away from the sound source at the speed of sound, are very slight but the human ear drum will flex with very small changes in pressure. This tiny flexing of the ear drum is sent to the inner ear by the bones behind the ear drum. It is known as the longitudinal wave.This travels by compressions and rarefactions caused in air.
How does sound waves travel through air?
Sound travels through air much in the same way as waves travel through water. Sound must have a medium to travel through and can't travel in a vacuum. The sound vibrates one air molecule which in turn vibrates the next molecule in line, and so on. This happens very fast at around 760 mph in air.
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.
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.
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 do you hear the sound coming from a drum?
Through sound waves travelling as vibrations through the air.
How does sound travel with graphic?
Sound does not travel through graphics, as graphics are visual representations of information. Sound travels through a medium such as air or water by creating vibrations that propagate as waves. Graphics, on the other hand, are static or dynamic visual representations that convey information through images and design elements.
What vibrates as sound waves hit it?
Your eardrums vibrate when sound waves hit them. The sound wave travels through the auditory canal which funnels the sound to the ear drum causing it to vibrate. The ear drum then amplifies the sound by vibration of bones. It is in the middle ear where sound energy is converted into mechanical energy. The cochlea in the inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses before sending signals to the brain. The brain then interprets the impulses as sound.
IS A SNARE DRUM IS A AEROPHONE?
No, because the sound isn't produced by air flowing across or through the drum.

How does a drum set factory work?
a drum set works through a musical percussion that vibrates tickling the drum chin therefore forcing a solid vibration sending a noise unit to the left creating sound and a drum. a drum set works through a musical percussion that vibrates tickling the drum chin therefore forcing a solid vibration sending a noise unit to the left creating sound and a drum.
How sound waves travel?
i would be beacuse you can not go through the ear drum
