What would you use to make an ear defender?

if i made ear defenders i would : Use foam because - it will absorb the sound Use rubber because - it has a lot of air bubbles in it. Sound takes a long time to travel through gases like air . Also some of the sound may reflect off the rubber. airpoo Vacuums, because sound travels best through air and there would be no air to travel through. And use cotton wool. : )


What is the principle for megaphone?

The sound is introduced into the narrow end of the megaphone, by holding it up to the face and speaking into it, and the sound waves radiate out the wide end. The megaphone increases the volume of sound by increasing the acoustic impedance seen by the vocal cords, matching the impedance of the vocal cords to the air, so that more sound power is radiated. It also serves to direct the sound waves in the direction the horn is pointing. It somewhat distorts the sound of the voice because the frequency response of the megaphone is greater at higher sound frequencies.

Why is it necessary to tune wind instruments?

I think most or all instruments need tuning. Wind instruments need tuning because the sound can be sharp or flat. If you're playing in a band or ensemble, it sounds a lot better if all of the instruments are tuned. That way, the notes sound the same. If you have heard a note and its flat played together, it probably doesn't sound good. If one of the instruments is flat, that is what that part of the music will sound like. I play the clarinet, and we have to pull out at the barrel of the instrument if it is sharp to lengthen the instrument. If it is flat, we push the barrel in or tighten our embouchure to make the instrument shorter or fix the sound. I'm not sure if all instruments tune that way, but that's what I know. I hope this helps you. If you're playing a wind instrument, I hope you are successful! :)


What is timbre in music?

The quality of a musical note or sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or musical instruments. The physical characteristics of sound that mediate the perception of timbre include spectrum and envelope. Timbre is also known in psychoacoustics as sound quality or sound color. For example, timbre is what, with a little practice, people use to distinguish the Saxophone from the Trumpet in a jazz group, even if both instruments are playing notes at the same pitch and amplitude.
