Understanding Sound & Hearing VOCABULARY Tempranic Membrane ( eardrum) Cochlea ( inner ear – magnifies sound ) Auditory Nerve ( converts to electric signal) Sound Waves & Compression Waves Decibel ( dB ) Power & Intensity Hertz ( unit of sound measure ) VOCABULARY Tempranic Membrane ( eardrum) Cochlea ( inner ear – magnifies sound ) Auditory Nerve ( converts to electric signal) Sound Waves & Compression Waves Decibel ( dB ) Power & Intensity Hertz ( unit of sound measure )

To hear sound, your ear has to do three basic things: ・ Direct the sound waves into the hearing part of the ear ・ Sense the fluctuations in air pressure ・ Translate these fluctuations into an electrical signal To hear sound, your ear has to do three basic things: ・ Direct the sound waves into the hearing part of the ear ・ Sense the fluctuations in air pressure ・ Translate these fluctuations into an electrical signal

How Sound Moves An object produces sound when it vibrates in matter, such as earth, a liquid, water, gas, or typically air. Most of the time, we hear sounds traveling through the air in our atmosphere. When something vibrates in the atmosphere, it moves the air particles around it. Those air particles in turn move the air particles around them, carrying the pulse of the vibration through the air.

Speed Of Sound How fast does sound travel? Sound moves about 1500 meters per second in seawater. ( slightly less than a mile ) Thats approximately 15 football fields end-to-end in one second!! Approximately a mile per second (Sound moves much more slowly in air, at about 340 meters per second, only 3 football fields a second). How fast does sound travel?

Microphones convert energy from one form to another- acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Typical Microphone SOUND>MIC ( Diaphragm)>Signal dB

DIAPHRAGMS & MICS Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm. This is a thin piece of material (such as paper, plastic or aluminum) which vibrates when it is struck by sound waves.

Brief Summary Sounds are vibrations caused by the movement of air molecules through air, water, earth ( matter ). These vibrations enter the ear, press against the ear drum ( tempranic membrane) and then enter the middle and inner ear where they are amplified up to 20x. The ear converts these vibrations into “ELECTRICAL SIGNALS” for the Brain. MICROPHONES convert sound waves into electrical signals for recording devices.
