Question
Chapter 16.4, Problem 1AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The sound generation and physical properties of a sound wave that is measured in hertz and decibels; and their sensory qualities of sound.
Introduction:
Hearing is a sound response that comes from the vibration of air molecules, while the equilibrium comes from the movement, orientation, and balance of the body. These two senses come from the inner ear containing the sensory cells.

- Inside a recital hall a musician plays a well-known song from the guitar repertoire, to the delight of audience members. A C-major chord is played. Subsequently, the corresponding sound wave, consisting of frequencies 130.8 Hz, 164.8 Hz, and 196 Hz, arrives at a listeners eardrum.
