  2. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    This is a classic demonstration of resonance. A glass has a natural resonance, a frequency at which the glass will vibrate easily. Therefore the glass needs to be moved by the sound wave at that frequency. If the force from the sound wave making the glass vibrate is big enough, the size of the vibration will become so large that the glass ...

  3. Neural encoding of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_encoding_of_sound

    The Outer ear consists of the pinna or auricle (visible parts including ear lobes and concha), and the auditory meatus (the passageway for sound). The fundamental function of this part of the ear is to gather sound energy and deliver it to the eardrum. Resonances of the external ear selectively boost sound pressure with frequency in the range 2 ...

  4. Vocal resonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_resonation

    Mouth resonance is used for a conversational vocal color in singing and, in combination with nasal resonance, it creates forward placement or mask resonance. Chest resonance adds richer, darker, and deeper tone coloring for a sense of power, warmth, and sensuality. It creates a feeling of depth and drama in the voice.

  5. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Increase of amplitude as damping decreases and frequency approaches resonant frequency of a driven damped simple harmonic oscillator. [1] [2]Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration that matches its resonant frequency, defined as the frequency that generates the maximum amplitude response in the system.

  6. Resonating device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonating_device

    A resonating device is a structure used by an animal that improves the quality of its vocalizations through amplifying the sound produced via acoustic resonance.The benefit of such an adaptation is that the call's volume increases while lessening the necessary energy expenditure otherwise required to make such a sound.

  7. Natural frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_frequency

    Natural frequency, measured in terms of eigenfrequency, is the rate at which an oscillatory system tends to oscillate in the absence of disturbance. A foundational example pertains to simple harmonic oscillators , such as an idealized spring with no energy loss wherein the system exhibits constant-amplitude oscillations with a constant frequency.

    Rachel Pyne, 28, had such drastically enhanced hearing that she could hear the sound of every body part moving inside her. She could hear her eyes moving, her bones creaking, and her heart beating .

  9. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound waves may be viewed using parabolic mirrors and objects that produce sound. [9] The energy carried by an oscillating sound wave converts back and forth between the potential energy of the extra compression (in case of longitudinal waves) or lateral displacement strain (in case of transverse waves) of the matter, and the kinetic energy of ...
