find prey. Dolphins use echolocation, which is a process of sending sound waves, to find prey. A second type of natural noise are underwater earthquakes, avalanches, and volcanoes. Earthquakes can produce sounds when they have high magnitudes. Volcano eruptions have also been heard underwater. Ice break-up and calving is a third type of natural noise in the marine environment. When ice breaks off from glaciers it makes a sound. Shipping, bathymetry, and oil & gas are 3 types of anthropogenic…

I monitored him pace back and forth the room with the fluidity and control of a lynx. The fire danced and crackled before us, heightening the already unbearably…

within an orchestra. To be able to distinguish the individual sounds and more importantly, the individual superimposed vibrations travelling to the listener, the auditory system, and the architecturally designed environments, have specific methods that allow the listeners ears to hear a reliable impression of what is going on around us, be that musical or simply auditory (Plomp, n.d.).

Sound Waves in Music Intervals Introduction Mechanical Wave Sound is a mechanical wave. It has an original source that is a vibrating object. It travels in a medium through particle-to-particle interaction. Longitudinal Wave In a sound wave, the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to direction of energy transport. This results in compressions and rarefactions in the particles- Lower pressure causes molecules to expand into a large region of space called rarefactions, and…
