  2. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

    The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The perceived sounds are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device.

  3. Physics of whistles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

    A whistle is a device that makes sound from air blown from one end forced through a small opening at the opposite end. They are shaped in a way that allows air to oscillate inside of a chamber in an unstable way. The physical theory of the sound-making process is an example of the application of fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics and aerodynamics ...

  4. Head-related transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function

    HRTF filtering effect. A head-related transfer function (HRTF) is a response that characterizes how an ear receives a sound from a point in space. As sound strikes the listener, the size and shape of the head, ears, ear canal, density of the head, size and shape of nasal and oral cavities, all transform the sound and affect how it is perceived, boosting some frequencies and attenuating others.

  5. Chinese scientist hears 'knocking sound' in space - AOL

    In a recent interview, the astronaut said that the sound was like "someone knocking the body of the spaceship just as knocking an iron bucket with a wooden hammer." See fascinating photos of ...

  6. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. The sound localization mechanisms of the mammalian auditory system have been extensively studied. The auditory system uses several cues for sound source localization, including time difference and level difference (or ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_amplification_by...

    SASER's central idea is based on sound waves. The set-up needed for the implementation of sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is similar to an oscillator. An oscillator can produce oscillations without any external feed-mechanism. An example is a common sound amplification system with a microphone, amplifier and speaker.

  9. Perception of infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_of_infrasound

    Infrasound is sound at frequencies lower than the low frequency end of human hearing threshold at 20 Hz. It is known, however, that humans can perceive sounds below this frequency at very high pressure levels. [1]
