Questions and Answers
Que son os sons de altura determinada e como se caracterizan as súas vibracións?
Os sons de altura determinada son aqueles que presentan vibracións regulares ou periódicas.
Como se definen os ruídos e que efectos producen no oído?
Os ruídos son sons con vibracións irregulares e desordenadas, que provocan unha sensación sonora desagradable ao oído.
Que diferenza fundamental existe entre sons de altura determinada e ruídos?
A diferencia fundamental radica na regularidade das vibracións; os sons de altura determinada son regulares, mentres que os ruídos son irregulares.

Study Notes
The Sound
- Music serves as a language expressing ideas and emotions through sound and silence.
- Sound is perceived through the vibrations emitted by moving bodies.
- Vibrations occur at frequencies between 16 and 20,000 Hertz, which are perceptible as sound.
- Vibrations travel through air in invisible waves; striking a surface like a drumhead creates sound vibrations that reach our ears.
Types of Sound
- Sounds can be classified based on their vibration types:
- Sounds of defined pitch: These arise from regular or periodic vibrations, producing a clear and specific tone.
- Noise: Results from irregular and chaotic vibrations, often perceived as unpleasant.
Silence
- Silence is typically defined as the absence of sound; however, absolute silence does not exist—a faint sound is often detectable.
Qualities of Sound
- Musical sounds can be distinguished based on various qualities:
- Duration: Indicates whether a sound is long or short.
- Intensity: Refers to the loudness or softness of the sound.
- Timbre: Characterizes the uniqueness of a sound source, allowing identification of different instruments despite them playing the same musical notes.
Pitch
- Pitch differentiates between low (grave) and high (acute) sounds, depending on the frequency of vibrations:
- Grave Sound: Fewer vibrations lead to lower pitches.
- Acute Sound: More vibrations result in higher pitches.
- Women's voices tend to be higher due to more frequent vocal cord vibrations compared to men's deeper voices.
Instrument Tuning
- For string instruments, the height of the produced sound is influenced by string tension.
- Tension adjustment tools, like tuning forks, help achieve the optimal pitch (440 Hz for the note A).
- Musicians must tune their instruments to ensure they produce the same pitches, i.e., the same number of vibrations per second.
Duration
- Duration describes whether a sound is perceived as long or short, affecting the overall feel of music.
Intensity (Volume)
- Intensity indicates how loud or soft a sound is, which is critical for musical expression:
- Loud (f): High intensity with greater wave amplitude.
- Soft (p): Low intensity with lesser wave amplitude.
Timbre
- Timbre allows the identification of the sound source—an instrument, a voice, etc.
- Influencing factors include:
- The material of the vibrating body.
- The material of the resonating chamber, which affects the sound's quality and character.
