continuous sound

Continuous sound refers to a steady, unbroken wave of sound energy without significant pauses or interruptions. It occurs when vibrations in the air, such as from a machine humming or a musical note played steadily, produce a consistent sound waveform over time. Unlike intermittent sounds that start and stop, continuous sounds maintain a constant amplitude and frequency, creating a smooth auditory experience. This consistency allows our ears to perceive it as ongoing noise or tone, common in environments with background sounds or sustained musical notes.
