  2. Project Mogul - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mogul

    Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving microphones flown on high-altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The project was carried out from 1947 until early '49.

    Erik Gyllenfjäder, a Swedish man who murdered and cannibalised his girlfriend, was said by psychiatric doctors to posses a photographic memory. [16] [17] Akira Haraguchi holds the unofficial world record for the most decimal places of pi recited by memory. His ability is self-attributed to a strong eidetic memory, though he uses a mnemonic device.

    Then the wave number of the medium is estimated through analysis of the water temperature. Multiple two-dimensional sound fields are calculated, and the three-dimensional sound field can be reconstructed as well. This method is applicable primarily to ultrasound and to lower sound pressures, often in water and in medical imaging.

  5. Echoic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoic_memory

    Echoic memory is the sensory memory that registers specific to auditory information (sounds). Once an auditory stimulus is heard, it is stored in memory so that it can be processed and understood. [ 1 ]

    Sound recording and reproduction is the electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording .

    What wave sound does to this triangle is to bring air (Oxygen) back and forth which keeps the air away from fire but in molecule levels. The fire will act like a cat going after a laser pointer ...

  8. Auditory illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_illusion

    Composers have long been using the spatial components of music to alter the overall sound experienced by the listener. [14] One of the more common methods of sound synthesis is the use of combination tones. Combination tones are illusions that are not physically present as sound waves, but rather, they are created by one's own neuromechanics. [15]

    Motion of the medium itself. If the medium is moving, this movement may increase or decrease the absolute speed of the sound wave depending on the direction of the movement. For example, sound moving through wind will have its speed of propagation increased by the speed of the wind if the sound and wind are moving in the same direction.
