Malt 379 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'll give you an example..... Big crowd of folk, someone secretly blows a dog whistle..... No one hears it, it's out of our hearing frequency but a dog would. He's got the right receiver for it. To us there is no sound. Sound is only vibrating air at different frequencies. We can't hear radio waves, the electricity in our homes...... Unless your ear can pick up the frequency of the vibrating air, it isn't sound. And for anyone to suggest it is, is laughable. So if the dog whistle vibrates the air at the right frequency for the dog to hear but not us, does it make a sound? It's only sound if you have something to reproduce it into sound I.e an ear drum. If I sing into a mike that isn't connected to a speaker, no sound will come out of it, same principle.Nope! You can't hear ultrasonic waves but they are still sound, hence the term 'Ultrasound..' They are only sound if picked up by the correct equipment hence why the army used sonar etc if you can't pick up the vibrations, no sound is there Those vibrations you're taking about? They're called 'sound waves!' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 28,514 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm an acoustic Physicist and I'm being told the definition of sound. That's laughable! Sound is the excitation of a wave in a media. You don't have to hear it for it to be sound. Yep... As I said above.... Great mind eh mate lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Took your time coming back with that, google slow, your superiors on a lunch break you need a receiver to hear sound. We know how sound is produced but thanks for googling it for us you need a receiver to perceive sound but that doesn't mean it's not there.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Baw 3 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 For the sake of intelligence and the hope of humanity Baw, google the definition of sound. I'll leave google to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we were able to pick up every vibration or air wave out there, we'd go mad. But we are getting a bit nitty picky now Anyway guys, I only came back on to clear my name. Rumors going about I was smokeyandthebandit and it ain't true. I'd never bad mouth simoman. I've only been the Baw. Right I'm out of here, paulus delete this username please, take care guys and born hunter, chillax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And for anyone to suggest it is, is laughable.a question that's been debated and reflected on by some of mankind's greatest minds over the past few thousand years solved by Baw in a nutshell, is there any end to the mans talents? well seeing how (in his own head) he is always right, then maybe he is right about this (in his own head)...... I'm still waiting on the lab full of physicians to prove me wrong maybe you can..... Hey Einstien don't mean to nit pick but isn't a physician a doctor? I think the terminology is "physicist" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
