  2. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain. [1]

  3. Vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration

    Vibration (from Latin vibrāre 'to shake') is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.Vibration may be deterministic if the oscillations can be characterised precisely (e.g. the periodic motion of a pendulum), or random if the oscillations can only be analysed statistically (e.g. the movement of a tire on a gravel road).

  4. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

    Acoustical engineering (also known as acoustic engineering) is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration. It includes the application of acoustics, the science of sound and vibration, in technology. Acoustical engineers are typically concerned with the design, analysis and control of sound.

  5. Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics

    Acoustics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics technology may be called an acoustical engineer.

  6. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone. Vibrating strings are the basis of string instruments such as guitars, cellos, and pianos.

  7. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    These phenomena can potentially generate vibrations of the ferromagnetic, conductive parts, coils and permanent magnets of electrical, magnetic and electromechanical device, resulting in an audible sound if the frequency of vibrations lies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, and if the sound level is high enough to be heard (e.g. large surface of ...

    Honda is, unsurprisingly, on the right track here being concerned about elements like sound, vibration and the human experience in terms of making a car special. There’s nothing unique about an ...

  9. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    Examples of acoustic waves include audible sound from speakers, seismic waves causing ground vibrations, and ultrasound used for medical imaging. Understanding acoustic waves is crucial in fields like acoustics, physics, engineering, and medicine, with applications in sound design, noise reduction, and diagnostic imaging.
