We also use sound for finding the distance of objects a long way away by using SONAR. Instinctively you can localise a sound source to a particular location - now that's pretty impressive. Just close your eyes and listen to what you can hear around you. Our two ears are finely tuned to pick up on where a sound is coming from.
Localisation is our ability to use sound to find the depth of distant objects. Each instrument has individual characteristics, defining the class (brass, string, percussion etc) and the specifics of that instrument (a cello from a violin). Music relies on frequency and pitch, helping us pick apart instruments in an orchestra. Music relies solely on sound - no sound, no music. Historically music was used to tell stories, intimidate enemy armies or entertain the masses at public events. There is a wealth of knowledge, noting that for thousands of years music has been used to heal, entertain and convey messages. By grunting, crying, screeching etc they can communicate across vast distances, conveying important messages that may be critical to their wellbeing and survival. Of course animals can't speak (human talk), but they can still communicate just as effectively. Without sound we wouldn't hear and therefore wouldn't speak. It's these small details in our evolution that have allowed us to work together to accomplish greater things. We have developed languages, dialects, expressive tones and other ways to distinguish each other apart. Sometimes we ignore it, sometimes we cherish it.īut WHY is sound so important? Woof On The Wall are all about sound, so we thought we'd outline our top 5 reasons why sound is interesting but also vital for our survival!įor many animals including us, sound is a main form of communication.
