Sound film

Sound is integral to the world; even in a quiet space there is very rarely the complete absence of sound. Often sound is related back to the daily activities of people, cars roaring down the streets or the bustling noise of the voices of a crowd. Sound is also commonly found to be a pleasant addition to daily life through music on the radio or through the sounds of animals and nature. However, the sound in certain locations can also offer a glimpse into the context of the space and illustrate…

The young male client had a Velopharyngeal Impairment (VPI). Working with him post-surgical repair was to increase intelligibility through practicing different sounds in sentences, blends, and in isolation. To help with his hyper-nasality, they put a straw next to his nose while he spoke to help him and the clinician measure how much air he lets escape through his nose. When the client first arrived, he was allowed to talk for a few minutes about his day. He is clearly very social, outgoing and…

Noise canceling technology in headphones changes the whole way someone listens to music or any other audio experience in that it doesn’t overpower external noise, it erases them. The solution to turn up the volume to drown out unwanted sounds like Aunt Petunia or the roar of the engine in an airplane doesn’t apply anymore for users with noise canceling headphones. The solution to nagging or thunderous noise is simply to switch the noise canceling button on and listen to a file of your choosing.…

the moment a Disneyland guest first steps foot through the turnstiles at the Disneyland entrance, their senses go to work by creating memorable experiences in addition to emotions related to the smells, sight and sounds all around you. The sound of a blowing whistle or the chugging sound of The Disneyland Railroad as it’s pulling into Main Street Station. The essence of freshly baked treats flooding down through Main Street. Consequently, these memorable experiences, hopefully will create…

hear the brassy sound given off by the trumpets. I used to be a trumpet player so I enjoy to listen to the sounds it can produce. The Jazz Night consisted of four groups that each performed their own unique variation of Jazz music. I was amazed by all the performances, even the Vocal Jazz which I thought was going to be my least…

Acoustics is the branch of physics concerned with the study of sound. Sound is a wave made of vibrations in the air. Waves can be measured in a range of different ways: by their amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed, and, at times, their phase. Sound information is transmitted by the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations, where the amplitude is experienced as loudness and frequency as pitch. The vibration is started by some mechanical movement and this causes a vibration on the molecules…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound. Graghh! "Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... " A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail. "I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!" Awoo! ... When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but…

In this The Taming of the Shrew passage I will be focussing on how the style contributes to the dramatic effect of the play, how the passage impacts the play and its audience, and how it contributes to the larger themes within the play. The purpose of scene 2 as a whole is to introduce Petruchio and put in motion Petruchio’s pursual of Katherine. In this passage we see Gremio and Grumio supporting but also questioning Petruchio’s decision in pursuing Kate. And the audience can foresee that this…

Introduction A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.…
