Why Does Sound Travel?
by Nicolas Brasch

Review by Danesha

Sounds are vibrations that travel through the air, or other medium, like water.  Sound travels in waves and the volume of a sound depends on the size, height and frequency of the waves that are created.  How do our ears hear sound?  Our ears have three sections; outer, middle and inner.  The outer collects sound waves which are channeled to the middle ear, which hits the eardrum, then they're converted into signals that are sent to the brain.

If you like to know how sounds works, or if you are interested in facts about sound, read Why Does Sound Travel?
