Classification of Sound

Classification of Sound

Sound waves are mechanical vibrations of smaller amplitude. Sound waves are classified into three categories based on their frequencies.

CLASSIFICATION OF SOUND

 

Sound waves are mechanical vibrations of smaller amplitude. Sound waves are classified into three categories based on their frequencies.

 

(i) Sound waves of frequencies below 20 Hz are termed as Infrasonics [Inaudible]

(ii) Sound waves of frequencies above 20,000 Hz are termed as Ultrasonics [Inaudible]

(iii) Sound waves of frequencies 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz are termed as audible sound.

 

Further the audible sound is classified as 'musical sounds' and 'noises'. The sounds which produces pleasing effect on the ear are called musical sound and that which produces jarring and unpleasing effect are called noises.
