When you strike a bass drum with the stick, the surface of the drum vibrates. This means the surface is moving up and down at a specific frequency. The up and down motion of the surface of the drum causes the air next to the surface to vibrate. This vibrational motion moves through the air. This is a sound wave.
The Media College website listed in the links area has a picture of a sound wave moving from a speaker, through the air, and into the person's ear.
The Physics dot org link has a video that describes how a speaker produces a sound wave.
As a battery is attached to the terminals of the speaker, the electromagnet quickly pulls the speaker in one direction. When the speaker is attached to a radio, the radio is sending low voltage alternating current through the speaker wires. The alternating current causes the electromagnet to move back and forth at the same frequency as the current. This causes the face of the speaker to vibrate at the same frequency. This causes the air in front of the speaker to vibrate at the same frequency. Now a sound wave is moving through the air.
The Connections website listed below describes how humans speak.
Let me take this one step farther. When the vibrating air enters your ear, it causes your ear drum to vibrate.
The Franklin Institute website listed below describes how the vibrating air affects the human ear.
In my 1st example, the energy of the vibrating bass drum moves through the air and into your ear. In your ear, this energy causes your ear drum to vibrate. The energy just keeps moving until it reaches your brain. Sound waves are a means of transporting oscillating energy from one place to another.
Now you know how vibration and sound are related.
What else can I help you with?
How are sound and vibration the same?
Sound and vibration are related because sound is a type of mechanical wave that is caused by a vibrating object. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure variations in the surrounding medium, such as air, which are detected by our ears as sound. Thus, vibrations are necessary for sound to exist.
What does each signal vibration of an object produce?
Each signal vibration of an object produces a specific sound frequency. The frequency of the vibration determines the pitch or note of the sound. The intensity of the vibration affects the volume or amplitude of the sound produced.
What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?
The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.
Is vibration considered a form of sound?
No, vibration is not considered a form of sound. Sound is the result of vibrations traveling through a medium, such as air, while vibration refers to the rapid back-and-forth movement of an object.
How are pitch and vibration similar?
Pitch and vibration are similar in that they both relate to the frequency of a sound wave. Pitch is the perceptual quality of sound that corresponds to its frequency, while vibration refers to the physical oscillation of particles that create sound waves. A higher frequency of vibration generally results in a higher pitch sound.
How is vibration important to sound?
Think of it as a rubber band. No vibration, no sound. it's the same with a rubber band!
Where do sounds come from?
it depends on how big or small the vibration is to determine the sound. The bigger the vibration, the lower the sound is. the smaller the vibration, the higher the sound.
How are sound and vibration the same?
Sound and vibration are related because sound is a type of mechanical wave that is caused by a vibrating object. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure variations in the surrounding medium, such as air, which are detected by our ears as sound. Thus, vibrations are necessary for sound to exist.
WHAT IS THE Relationship between vibration and sound signals in telephone system?
sound is made from vibration
Does sound make vibration or does vibration make sound?
Vibrations cause sounds. A sound wave is the vibration of the air around whatever is "causing" the sound (aka, whatever is causing the vibration--a guitar string, vocal cords, the mechanics of a stereo, etc).
What does each signal vibration of an object produce?
Each signal vibration of an object produces a specific sound frequency. The frequency of the vibration determines the pitch or note of the sound. The intensity of the vibration affects the volume or amplitude of the sound produced.
How can you feel sound?
Sound is created by vibration
How do Chinese drums produce sounds?
The same way normal drums do--the vibration of the top causes sound.
What are sound waves of irregular vibration in matter?
The sound waves of irregular vibration in matter is called noise.
What is the relationship with vibration with sound?
Sound, actually, is the vibration of air. The vibrations hit your ear drum in your ear.
What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?
The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.
Is vibration considered a form of sound?
