            Sound is a kind of sensation perceived by our brain and received or detected by our ears. Vibration is a mechanical
            phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about a central position, and produce sound. Sound travels through air. Some
            sounds are pleasant to hear whereas others are classified as “noise”– which are unpleasant to hear.

            SOUND
            Definition  :  Sound  is  a  kind  of  sensation
            perceived  by  our  brain  and  received  or

            detected  by  our  ears.  The  unit  of  sound
            measurement is decibel (dB).
            Vibrating instruments produce sound :

            Vibration  is  a  mechanical  phenomenon
            whereby  oscillations  occur  about  a  central
                                                                      Tuning fork    Gong of hammer of     Strings of a
            position.                                                                  an electric bell       violin

            For  example,  movement  of  a  tuning  fork,           Almost all musical instruments produce sound
            strings of violin, gong of electric bell, etc.          due to their vibrations.
