In Conclusion
Sound production is in fact a complicated process. By focussing in on the vocal cords, this website was able to establish and solidify a...
Visualizing Energies
One can assume that if the vocal folds are vibrating during the process of sound production, that some kind of energy must be given to...
The XY of Vibrations in Sound
Hopefully, these graphs can give you an idea of how vibrations look on a graph, specifically frequency. http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/v...
Vibrations in Action!
The physics behind vibrations is actually rather fascinating, but difficult to comprehend if not previously studied. To start, think...
What Floats Your Note
It can be rather difficult to imagine how forces work upon the vocal chords in order to produce and change sound, so here is a visual to...
Show me the Money
So up until now, we've focussed on the anatomical factors behind our vocal cords and touched on the physics backing up sound; however...
The Pressure's On, Tension's High, and Size Does Matter
Now, pitch is directly related to frequency; increasing as frequency increases. To reiterrate, air pressure, muscle tension, and cord...
Cords in action
So what is actually happening when you sing a song or whisper to a friend? Well, it's a matter of vibrations. Frequency is how we...
For the reCord
Our vocal cords, also known as vocal folds, are embedded within a system of vocal production organs that inhabit our throats. (picture...
