A partnership site between the Science Museum and the Minnesota Orchestra, exploring the science and art of sound by offering performance, activities, and discussion sections.
Offers an animation of how high and low pressure waves make the eardrum vibrate along with information on how the journey of sound waves affects the brain.
Try these experiments which show the physics of sound waves by using objects around the house to demonstrate how they travel.
Find out about all the possible areas for a career in acoustics on this site by the Acoustical Society of America.
Explore in detail the wave front diagrams of stationary and moving sources at both subsonic and supersonic velocities.
The sound section of a more diverse site. Contains lots of information and fully explained diagrams. Check your understanding with a quiz at the end.
Lets explore synthetic sound and vision with a voice mapping Java applet. Also, sonify the pre made images, or make new ones.
Uses diagrams to show pressure nodes and internodes of harmonics in a pipe.
Uses graphs to explain production and perception of sound.
Learn about acoustics of different instruments, the sound spectrum, standing wave patterns supported by different air columns on this page by The University of New South Wales, Australia .
