Guest Baabaa Productions Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 More Interesting facts.......Sound Mors great stuff for you.....!!!!! Mark One musical piece has no sound at all. It is called 4 minutes 33 seconds. It was ' written ' by the American composer John Cage in 1954. A pianist sits at the piano and plays nothing for exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds. In theAlps mountains of Europe the long wooden trumpet called alphorn was used by herdsmen to call each other . Also called the alpenhorn and alpine horn, its loud, deep trumpeting sound echoed across the valleys and summoned people to church - or to war. Similar instruments were used in upland regions of Germany, Scaninavia and Eastern Europe. Middle C , with a frequency of 256 Hertz,is near the top of the singing range of a typical adult male voice. It is also near the lower end of the singing range of an adult female voice. The BA-Aerospatiale Concorde is the only passenger plane to fly faster than sound, at 2100 kph. No other animals can copy the sounds of our own speech and understand its meaning - not even our nearest relatives, the chimpanzees. Although to do this, chimps can learn to understand messages and 'speak' in a silent way, by sign language. They make signs with their hands and put together simple sentences such as " Give me food! " Emile Berliner's first flat - disc recordswere made of hard rubber. This was followed by shellac, aresin-type substance originally obtained from certain insects. Eventually plastic were tried, including vinyl. In fibre-optic cables a voice on the telephone becomes coded as flashes of laser light. These pulse millions of times per second. Light travels more efficiently in long cables than electricity. In the1880s Alexander Graham Bell worked on a fibre-optic device called the photophone, but it never became practical. In the deep ocean . the sperm whale uses sound to stun or kill its prey. Its sends out giant grunts, immensely powerful bursts of sound that can disable nearby fish, squid and other victims. In the middle of the night , an eerie tap-tap-tap in an old building was thought to be a ghost or spirit , came to take away the living , of returned with the souls of the dead. In fact, it is the dead-watch beetle banging its jaws and head on the wood. The tapping sound was its call for a mating partner. The beetle's grubs tunnel into oak trees and old oak beams in houses.
