Sound stage

most known of damage to human hearing, and is known as Noise Induced Hearing Lose. This occurs when a sound is to loud and becomes harmful to the human ear. How can noise damage our hearing? To understand how NIHL happens, we need to understand how it is that we hear. First, sound waves enter our outer ear then travel through the ear canal into the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to the malleus, incus, and stapes (three tiny bones in the…

28th, July, 2015 Today was a normal day. Dark hues of blue still clouded the sky as I quietly ate a cup of rice and vegetables. As my boots trudged along the snowy ground, my sunken eyes gazed at the rows of rusted cages. I stood upon the whimpering sounds of white, furry coats as my boss angrily instructed us. There was a flurry of women, each grabbing a rabbit. I quickly grasped one, the softness of their fur petting my skin. My shivering legs dragged me to the steel table, quickly…

Sound and image work coincidently to create a powerful experience for the audience. In film, everything relates back to the diegesis, particularly what filmmakers want to be recounted, and how it appears to viewers (Chion, 1994). After all, it is the narrative that catches any one person’s attention and pulls them into a world of their own interpretation. When looking at the relationship between sound and image, the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are responsible for creating realistic…

Music is a way of life for a vast amount of people. In order to have music a person needs an instrument, rather that instrument is their voice, drums, piano or something else is up to them. Today I am going to talk to you about the history of the violin , acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. The violin is an instrument with a voice that can range from a soft speaking angel to the devil rocking out to punk rock music. Violin 2016 states that the violin developed from a variety of fiddle types…

The floor suspiciously creaked when I set my foot down, and a tortured shiver went up my spine. My heart pounded in my chest and the sound travelled up to my ears. I debated sitting at the only school desk in the room, but it's broken, rusted legs deterred me. I folded my legs under my body, and sunk to the dusty, unkempt ground. The floor itself looked like it had been an eggshell white, but had faded and stained into the color of a goldenrod. Decrepit books surrounded me from every way,…

Music is one of the most popular engines for self-expression today, most considerably amongst younger persons (Rentfrow et al., 2009). People wear shirts and hats embellished with their favorite band, decorate their homes with posters and records, and blast their favorite tunes with the windows down during the car ride home from work (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2007; Rentfrow et. al., 2009). Furthermore, the rise of social media in recent years has magnified both the scope and the means of which…

“Pow, Pow, Pop, Pop, Bang, Bang” the sounds of guns on TV always bring excitement and action to us as we watch a movie about a great war, not worrying if it will ever happen to us . In the book Forbidden City by William Bell, it has that same excitement of war (well not for Alex who was caught in all the “action” of the war). In Bell’s book it’s about a war in Beijing (the students vs. the army) bringing the feeling of war and betrayal in this story. For this book the theme that best described…

Several elements are used throughout this poem such as assonances, personifications, and onomatopoeias. Assonances is the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible. In “The Bells,” there are several examples. In Stanza 1 Line 3, Poe refers to silver bells as “merriment their melody foretells”.…

After walking along a path that he had found for a few hours, Condor spotted a large monument made out of dark granite with silver accents. There were several fountains and waterfalls that dripped astonishingly dark ink and left Condor shaken. Although the monument had a grim air about it, he knew that he had to go inside. As he began to tread up the numerous stairs to the main entrance, he felt fear coursing through his veins. He reasoned that if his friends were there, all this could be over…

“Run!” I yelled; the object sounded half human, half alien. It was louder than anything I had ever heard before. I was at the base of the treeline when I looked back; stunned in disbelief. Everyone faced down on the cold hard ground. Long pieces of grass were parted upwards from their bodies; and their blood tainting the area around. A large unknown animal stared straight through me from across the red splattered field. It had the most petrifying eyes, like dark ice. It pierced right through my…
