Sound and Environment

Sound is a vibration that travels through air, water, or solids and can be heard when it reaches our ears. The environment plays a crucial role in how sound is produced, transmitted, and perceived. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and obstacles like buildings can affect sound quality and clarity. For example, sound travels faster in water than in air, and tall buildings can create echoes or block sounds. Understanding this relationship helps us appreciate how our surroundings influence what we hear, from music in a concert hall to wildlife sounds in nature.
