About this event
What are the sounds you hear around you every day? Do you listen to music or watch movies? Whose voices do you hear? Are there any animals or other environmental noises in your area? Tune into the sounds of acoustic engineering as we explore what makes sounds different from each other, how sound reaches our ears, and how engineers control sound. Whether you’re at a rock concert, cheering for your favorite team, watching a movie, or jamming to the tunes inside your headphones, acoustic engineers have a hand (or rather, an ear) in making those sounds. We’ll demonstrate these sound manipulation techniques through air, water, and solid materials and explore how pitch and frequency affect what we hear. Students will also get a chance to engineer their own pair of noise-dampening headphones and loudspeaker. Throughout this unit, we will analyze the sounds around us and learn how acoustic engineers can change and shape those to be more pleasant.
