Quiet Anthropocene, quiet Earth

Our planet vibrates incessantly, sometimes with notable but more often with imperceptible intensity. Conventional seismology attempts to decipher vibrational sources and path effects by studying seismograms—records of vibrations measured with seismometers. Anthropogenic (human) activities at Earth's surface also generate seismic waves that instruments can detect over great distances. On page 1338 of this issue, Lecocq et al. (3) report on a quieting of anthropogenic vibrations since the start o

A Beginner’s Guide to Recording Bird Vocalizations

Capturing songs and calls can open a whole new level of birding—but equipment can be daunting. Here’s what you need to know to get started. Setting out to record birdsong for the first time can be a surprisingly risky endeavor. “There’s a danger whenever anybody picks up recorders and headphones,” warns Donald Kroodsma, who has written several books about birdsong and spent hundreds of hours in the field with a microphone. “You can get hooked for life.”

Chocolate Fountain Recipes

When it comes to food, sound is as important as taste

The snap of a fresh carrot or the glug of a chocolate fountain are arguably among the finer pleasures in life. But what causes our snacks to crackle and pop, and exactly why do we care? Here are five expert opinions on the acoustics involved in your favorite fare, as told to Eleanor Cummins.

Classifying animal sounds the Koe way — RNZ PODCAST

Two PhD students at Massey University Albany have developed a web-based software for analysing and classifying animal sounds. Wesley Webb is a co-creator of Koe and joins the programme today to tell us why you'd want to and how it works.

Underwater speakers lure fish to dead coral reefs

A team of researchers placed speakers underwater in areas where coral is dying on the Great Barrier Reef, to see if the sounds of a healthy reef would lure fish back to the area. Dr Mark Meekhan from the Australian Institute of Marine Science tells us what happened.

Sound, visualising sound waves — TEACHING RESOURCE

Sound is a form of energy that is caused by the vibration of matter. Sound is transmitted through waves, which travel through solids, liquids and gases. We are most used to the sound travelling through air, but sound is able to travel faster and further in solids and liquids.

Sound – understanding standing waves — TEACHING RESOURCE

A standing wave is the combination of two waves that are moving in opposite directions. Standing waves are typically formed in situations where a wave is bouncing back and forth in an environment that produces constructive interference. To put this more simply, a standing wave occurs when the length of the wave matches the length of the environment. To understand why standing waves behave the way they do, consider what happens when you send a single pulse (0.5 of a wave) down a rope that...

Sound on an oscilloscope — STUDENT ACTIVITY

In this activity, students play different kinds of sounds near a computer’s microphone and watch the resulting visual display created by oscilloscope software. By the end of this activity, students should be able to: relate the visual display to each sound played; and appreciate the complexity of amplitudes and frequencies within real sounds.

Set-up for measuring the speed of sound using an echo

Measuring the speed of sound — STUDENT ACTIVITY In this investigation, students measure distance and time in order to calculate the speed of a sound wave. The investigation supports the science capability ‘Gather and interpret data’. It also provides a real-world context in which to practise mathematical skills.
