  2. Phantom vibration syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_vibration_syndrome

    Phantom vibration syndrome or phantom ringing syndrome is the perception that one's mobile phone is vibrating or ringing when it is not. Other terms for this concept include ringxiety (a portmanteau of ring and anxiety), fauxcellarm (a portmanteau of "faux" /foʊ/ meaning "fake" or "false" and "cellphone" and "alarm" pronounced similarly to "false alarm") and phonetom (a portmanteau of phone ...

  3. Idiophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiophone

    Set of bell plates, range C2–E4, a struck idiophone (played with mallets) or friction idiophone (bowed) Claves (foreground), a struck idiophone. An idiophone is any musical instrument that creates sound primarily by the vibration of the instrument itself, without the use of air flow (as with aerophones), strings (chordophones), membranes (membranophones) or electricity (electrophones).

  4. Music for a While - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_a_While

    "Music for a While" is a da capo aria for voice (usually soprano or tenor), harpsichord and bass viol by the English Baroque composer Henry Purcell. Based on a repeating ground bass pattern, it is the second of four movements from his incidental music ( Z 583) to Oedipus , a version of Sophocles' play by John Dryden and Nathaniel Lee ...

  5. Aerophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerophone

    Flutes are aerophones.. An aerophone is a musical instrument that produces sound primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate, [1] without the use of strings or membranes (which are respectively chordophones and membranophones), and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound (or idiophones).

  6. Reed (mouthpiece) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_(mouthpiece)

    Many American oboists prefer one diameter at one time of the year and a different diameter at other times. [2] The tubes are split into three equal parts and the pieces that are not warped are chosen. A reed made from warped cane will not vibrate consistently on both sides. [3]

  7. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

    So while threshold levels of for the microwave audio effect of 267mW/cm² for 1.3GHz and 5000mW/cm² 2.9GHz, respectively, were reported by Frey in 1961, for the peak amplitude (providing the pops) and would only give an average (sustained) power density of only 0.4mW/cm² and 2mW/cm² respectively [7] similar to current cellphones.

  8. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    Vibration, standing waves in a string. The fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series.. A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch.

  9. Diaphragm (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(acoustics)

    This allows the driver to react quickly during transitions in music (i.e. fast changing transient impulses) and minimizes acoustical output distortion. If properly designed in terms of mass, stiffness, and damping, paper woofer/midrange cones can outperform many exotic drivers made from more expensive materials.
