Patterns of Sound

Patterns of sound refer to how sound waves behave and repeat over time, creating recognizable sounds or rhythms. These patterns include aspects like pitch (high or low sounds), volume (loudness), and rhythm (timing). For example, musical notes follow specific sequences that form melodies, while speech has distinct patterns of pitch and timing that convey meaning. Understanding these patterns helps us recognize voices, music, or environmental sounds. In essence, sound patterns are the structured, repeating elements of sound that our brains interpret to identify and understand what we hear.
