When you hit a table harder, you are transferring more energy to it. This increased energy causes the table to vibrate more vigorously, producing a louder sound. The amplitude of the vibrations determines the volume of the sound produced.

How do you increase the amplitude of a drum?

To increase the amplitude of a drum, you can hit it harder or with more force. This will cause the drumhead to vibrate more intensely and produce a louder sound. Additionally, using larger drumsticks or mallets can also help increase the amplitude of the drum's sound.


How does resonance work when you sing in the shower?

The bathroom is closed and sometimes small,as you sing the sound waves hit the walls more frequently causing the wall to vibrate,since walls are parallel to each other.the reflected sound hit each other,there by causing the wall to vibrate at your natural frequency and louder sound is transmitted.


Derick can hit an A note by blowing very soft or by blowing very hard. By changing how hard he blows into the trombone Derick is changing how loud the note is. Which property of waves is he changing w?

Derick is changing the amplitude of the wave by blowing either very soft or very hard into the trombone. Amplitude in a wave is the measure of the maximum disturbance in the medium from its undisturbed position. By blowing harder, he is increasing the maximum disturbance which corresponds to a louder sound.


Does sound intensity change with distance?

Yes because the farther you are away the harder it is to hear. The sound will hit things and get caught in some but bounce off of others. if a sound keeps bouncing off of things then at some point the sound waves scatter and the sound disappears.


Sound of coins falling coins?

I'll take a stab at answering your comment. Although, for future reference this is a website where you are supposed to ask questions, and there is no way to answer what you said. Although, I will try, The sound of a clad coins and a silver coin sound different when they hit a solid surface. Silver will kind of make a "tingy" sound, where as clad coins make more of a dull sound when they fall on a table or something similar.

Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?

It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave


Why do you make a louder noise by hitting something harder?

More energy in, more energy out. Hitting something harder means that you are applying more energy in the 'hit'. Sound waves are a form of energy. So your hit might produce only louder sound, or you might break the object. Either way, the energy you put into the system comes out as sound and/or a broken object and/or some degree of heat.


Why does hitting a triangle softly make less noise then hitting a triangle hard?

The harder you hit it - the more the triangle vibrates, and the louder the sound it produces.


Why does hitting a drum harder make the sound louder?

Sound is produced by the resonating particles in the drum head. Think of it like a pool of water. The harder you hit it, the bigger the waves will be because the particles are displaced equal to the force of impact and the size of the object.


How do drummers change the sound of a drum?

when you increase or decrease the tension of the drum head it makes it louder or softer

Why does hitting a drum harder make a louder sound?

As you hit it the surface moves back and forth(vibrating) this creates a sound wave. How hard you hit it determines how much it moves back and forth e.g. amplitude. This determines the volume.


How do you play the African drums?

To make a higher pitched sound , slighty tapthe edge. To make a louder and lower sound hit and slide your hands.


Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound gets louder?

It was when the air hit the wave and it move to another direction


Why does the sound of an instrument sound different when you hit it harder?

You are supplying more energy. Whatever vibrates to provide the sound does so with bigger amplitude, and the sound will have more and different harmonics.


Why are drums loud?

when the drum is hit vibrations travel along the surface of the object the drum is on.


Is a sealed or ported box better for kicker comp subs and would a 1000 watt pyle amp be good for these subs?

a ported box will hit the lows better than a sealed box. and they will hit harder.. but a ported box will be louder.
