These problems occur through doors, windows, walls, flooring, ceiling and ventilation ducts. The second area the interior room acoustics it shows how a room size, shape surface and materials affect interior acoustics and how they could be…

Cage's 4 "33". From what I found, the composition does not mean what I thought it said. The performer is not sitting in silence at the piano but is listening to the sounds of the audience and other surrounding noises. John Cage wants people to know that there is no such thing as being in "silence" you can take pleasure in all the sounds around…

they have tools such as metronomes, drum machines, etc. that can enhance their songs. At the same time, their are several similarities in the style of artists regarding the past and present. While technological advances have transformed the overall sound of music, the underlying messages are similar. For example, The Mills Brothers song, “How’m I Doin?” discusses the story of a beautiful girl and…

image builds on how wide and narrow the sound is instead of placing to the right or left location. However, I feel that the acoustic guitar is a little off to the left, and I hope that is not the problem of my hearing. The chorus is the widest sound that spread all over the left to right, and the distance of the sound is the farthest. On the other hand, the acoustic guitar is the closest with a narrow stereo image, and without the obvious reverb and delays, it sound like it is in a different…

This is a true story about when my family and I moved to Dotson Street. When I was 2 years old we sold our old house and had to live in my great-grandparents house, when my new house was being built.

But what they did not know is that someone else was going to be at mount rushmore at such a late time. Mike packed all their gear and put it all in the car ready to go. It was in only a 45 minute drive…

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…
