Sound Quality https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=XMZW4Ol5zLk Today, I can describe the difference between noise and music
Sound Quality: Resonance (rez-O-nunce) (from Monday’s lesson) Resonance occurs when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency. The wave (sound) produced by one of the objects causes the other object to vibrate.
Sound Quality: Interference Interference the combination of two or more waves that result in a single wave. ex: a sonic boom Sound Quality the result of the blending of several pitches (frequencies) through interference. ex: musical instruments have pleasing sound quality if operated properly
Sound Quality: Resonance and Musical Instruments Musical instruments use resonance to make sounds. String instruments strings vibrate & send waves inside the hollow instrument body, where it is amplified Wind instruments blowing air causes mouthpiece vibrations … resulting sound waves are amplified inside the tubes/pipes Percussion instruments make sounds when struck … different sizes & materials have different pitches
Strings p. 619
Winds p. 620
Percussion p. 621
Sound Quality: Noise Noise is any sound (especially non-musical) that is a random mix of frequencies (pitches) … shows no regular pattern Music shows distinct repeating patterns
Music vs. Noise
