Sound vibrations

Sounds occur when something vibrates, causing the air particles around it to vibrate as well.

Loud sound

A loud sound is created by a strong vibration, which causes more intense vibrations in the air.

Quiet sound

A quiet sound is created by a weaker vibration, which produces less intense air vibrations.

Study Notes

Sound Sources

  • Sound comes from vibrations
  • Activities at home, school, and outside help remember sound sources
  • Collect five different sound sources
  • Tell your partner to guess the sound source names
  • Go on a sound walk around the school and grounds
  • Identify sound sources
  • Sound travels through air, liquids, and solids
  • Vibrations are sounds
  • Vocal cords vibrate when we talk
  • Instrument parts vibrate to make sound

Sound Volume

  • Loud and quiet sounds called volume
  • Volume linked to the size of vibrations
  • Louder sound = larger vibrations
  • Quieter sound = smaller vibrations

Pitch

  • Sounds can be higher or lower
  • Changing sounds pitch called changing pitch
  • Faster vibrations = higher pitch
  • Slower vibrations = lower pitch

Sound Travel

  • Sounds travel through vibrations
  • Vibrations travel through air, liquids, and solids
  • Vibrations pass to our ears
  • Our brain interprets the vibrations as sound
