Listen! do you hear it? shhhh!
Sounds surround us, they are part of our daily lives. But what exactly is a sound and, more importantly, what is sound?
At our exhibition you will find out all about this branch of physics and the wonderful world of sound waves.
En route!

Each section is enhanced with interactive elements.

1. Sound is a mechanical wave, so it needs matter (Sound is a wave; Sound can be described through various parameters):
- Eh oh, pipe (speed of sound propagation)
- Waves in motion
- Undulating wave
- Wave roller
- Rounds in the water!

2. Ears to hear with (The audible spectrum, Too loud)
- Ear model
- Recordings of animal sounds, human voices; sound environments

3. Making a sound (Tuning forks; Mixing sounds)
- Sounds that resonate
- Different experiments with tuning forks
- Helmholtz resonators
- Monochord
- Figures of Chladni

4. Some phenomena related to sounds (The Doppler effect; Wall of sound)

5. Seeing through sound (The sonar of bats; Ultra sounds with many faces; An infrasound truck)

6. Noise pollution and noise
