Topic in Depth - The Physics of Sound

The Acoustic Monitoring Project at NOAA is observing the ocean through underwater acoustics. At this site, visitors can learn about NOAA's studies in Bioacoustics, Ocean Seismicity, and Environmental Noise. The site also offers many animations dealing with Axial eruption, Atlantic Seismicity, and much more.

Dan Russell, a professor of Applied Physics at Ketting University, created this site to provide students animated images of sounds and vibrations produced by instruments such as loudspeakers and guitars. The site is divided into three sections, which include: "Acoustics I: Sounds and Sources," "Acoustics II: Sound and Vibration," and "Other Wave Phenomena (not acoustics, but still waves)." This...

This site was developed by the Phsics Department at Michigan Tech University. The focus of this site is on the physics of music and various instruments' physical properties. Visitors to the site can view amplitude, frequency, and time graphs of the clarinet, as well as information on musical scales, room acoustics, and white noise. Users can also learn how to construct their own Native...
