Pet Sounds

and David Draper describe the tool as, “inaudible, acoustic vibrations of high frequency that produce thermal and/or nonthermal physiological effects” (Knight & Draper, 2013). This means that the modality uses sound waves to cause chemical and mechanical reactions in the body. Sonar or sound waves give animals such as bats the ability to detect objects. Scientists have found ways to use the same technique in Submarines. Before World War II, submarines used this technology to identify ships or…

construction of the phonograph was heavily inspired by the anatomy of the human ear. Consisting of three main components that replicated the build of the ear canal, eardrum, and ossicles. Sound waves would be transcribed by a very lightweight bristle attached to a thin membrane (the ossicles) that moves in accordance with the sound waves around it. The movements of the needle are then etched onto a lampblack-coated parchment surface. It wasn’t until 1871 that the realization hit that the…

ultrasounds use sound waves, what is a sound wave, and how sound waves reflect back. Ultrasounds, also known as ultrasound or sonography, is a type of moving sound pressure wave. An ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure that allows us to see through the layers of skin of to see a person’s anatomy. Most ultrasounds are done using a sonar device outside your body, sending waves into your body. Though, some devices are used for the inside of your body. An ultrasound sends out high frequency…

sunrise warmed my face and as I reached the entrance to the school, the jumbled cacophony of sound coming from the gym on the left reached my ears. Snippets of the trumpet melody would ring out and the vibration of the low tuba sound could be felt, the just sharp violin scales were sorry sounds to my ears and the range of male and female voices singing in different keys topped off the pandemonic mess of sound. Students were hustling and bustling about with instruments of all different…

Chapter eight of the text Sound and Recording by Francis Rumsey and Tim McCormick, discusses the principles of digital audio, and contrasts digital with analog. The text also illustrates how digital and analog work together to produce desired sound. In the world of audio there are two types; digital and analog. Analog can be described as physical or tangible in a sense, being etched onto some type of media. Digital however, is a representation of the audio waveform, which is converted into a…

Ultrasound has been used for many years to help diagnosis. Ultrasound describes sound frequencies beyond the range of normal human hearing and 20 kilohertz. Ultrasound uses focused low-energy ultrasound waves to visualize the interior of the body in a noninvasive and painless way. Many people are to thanks for the evolution of ultrasound. Dating back to the 1700’s. Lazzaro Spallanzani in 1793 observed that bats function efficiently in the dark, even when blinded, but not if deafened. He…

bunnies, his ears were a smidgen bigger than extra-large. Fledge was like many young rabbits. He enjoyed exploring the forest and sitting on rocks listening. With those specially sized ears, he could hear extra well. Fledge was even able to hear the sound of grass growing, the footsteps of a bird and the flapping of a bee's wings. Fledge did enjoy listening but did not enjoy his ears. Almost every day, he would think “I would be a much better rabbit if my ears were not so big”.…

Mr. Bean’s Holiday contains a lot of natural sound as it is filmed outside so the only sound effects would be ones applied to music. They function in advancing the narrative because they help progress the scene. For example, as Mr. Bean hits the road with Sabine and Stepan, and we get to the bridge in Cannes, beautiful…

Our voice is important because it defines us as an individual; it is our voice identity. Every person’s voice is different from each other which make it unique. Our voice does numerous amounts of things for us and one of the things that it can do is detect how we are feeling. For example, if a person is sad, his/her voice would indicate that because his/ her pitch would be lower. This would occur due to the decrease of the frequency. In Dr. Patel’s videos, she explains the importance of our…

A small cry for help resonated through the hallway. This singular voice was soft and gentle, and soon followed by many other female voices. A loud popping sound echoed from the room, silencing them. “Shut your mouths, you worthless whores!” an angry male voice shouted, causing the popping sound. Genma nodded to the surrounding shinobi, motioning them toward the room. They nodded in response, moving down the hallway silently. Another earth-shattering pop resonated, followed quickly by a…
