Sound is integral to how we experience the world, in the form of noise
as well as music. But what is sound? What is the physical basis of
pitch and harmony? And how are sound waves exploited in musical
instruments? In this Very Short Introduction Mike Goldsmith looks at
the science of sound and explores sound in different contexts,
covering the audible and inaudible, sound underground and underwater,
accoustic and electric, and hearing in humans and animals. He also
considers the problem of sound out of place - noise and its reduction.
