  2. Stethoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stethoscope

    Currently, a number of companies offer electronic stethoscopes. Electronic stethoscopes require conversion of acoustic sound waves to electrical signals which can then be amplified and processed for optimal listening. Unlike acoustic stethoscopes, which are all based on the same physics, transducers in electronic stethoscopes vary widely.

  3. Computer-aided auscultation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_auscultation

    Electronic stethoscopes (also digital stethoscopes) convert acoustic sound waves into digital electrical signals. These signals are then amplified by means of transducers and currently reach levels up to 100 times higher than traditional acoustic stethoscopes.

  4. Korotkoff sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korotkoff_sounds

    It has been suggested that the mechanism of Korotkoff sounds may not be a sound waves at all, but vibrations of the arterial walls that transmits into surrounding tissues, a bit like seismic waves. [4] [5] Others have hypothesized that the Korotkoff sounds are due to cavitation [6]

  5. Audification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audification

    Audification is an auditory display technique for representing a sequence of data values as sound. By definition, it is described as a "direct translation of a data waveform to the audible domain." [1] Audification interprets a data sequence and usually a time series, as an audio waveform where input data are mapped to sound pressure levels.

  6. Auscultation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auscultation

    Laënnec's contributions were refining the procedure, linking sounds with specific pathological changes in the chest, and inventing a suitable instrument (the stethoscope) to mediate between the patient's body and the clinician's ear. Auscultation is a skill that requires substantial clinical experience, a fine stethoscope and good listening ...

  7. Acoustic waveguide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_waveguide

    Sound is introduced at one end of the tube by forcing the pressure to vary in the direction of propagation, which causes a pressure gradient to travel perpendicular to the cross section at the speed of sound. When the wave reaches the end of the transmission line, its behaviour depends on what is present at the end of the line.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Pinard horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinard_horn

    A Pinard horn is a type of stethoscope used to listen to the heart rate of a fetus during pregnancy. It is a hollow horn, often made of wood or metal, about 200 millimetres (7.9 in) long. It functions similarly to an ear trumpet by amplifying sound. The user holds the wide end of the horn against the pregnant woman's abdomen, and listens ...
