sound. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 (1021 words)
Sounds are generally audible to the human ear if their frequency (number of vibrations per second) lies between 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second, but the range varies considerably with the individual.
A sound wave can be reinforced with waves from a body having the same frequency of vibration, but the combination of waves of different frequencies of vibration may produce “beats” or pulsations or may result in other forms of interference.
A sound is louder as the amplitude of vibration is greater, and the intensity decreases as the distance from the source increases.
