stewie 3,387 Posted September 13, 2013 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.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)......

But if you plug your ears you won't hear it going off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if you plug your ears you won't hear it going off so is a log landing on your swede but if you don't hear it, it won't hurt , vibrating air can cause horrific internal injuries even if you don't hear the blast, so vibrating air is very tangable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,591 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm gonna have a go at this lol.. There is a noise, just no receiver to pick up the noise..

Sound and being able to perceive it are two different things.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I sing into a mike that isn't connected to a speaker, no sound will come out of it, same principle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But vibrating air rattling your lungs won't make sound if your ears can't pick up the frequency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,817 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
