Description:
The pure periodic sound is the simplest sound event. It corresponds to a regular sine vibration (= harmonic vibration) of pure frequency. The sound of a tuning fork is the nearest of all non-synthetic sound sources to this ideal.
Information and ideas:
Recording to illustrate different sorts of sound (or students have to identify them).
Relevant for teaching:
Sound/acoustics: parameters
Communication and understanding
Vibrations and waves
Acoustic phenomena
