MIOSHA Fact Sheet Noise & Hearing Conservation
... Noise (unwanted sound) is caused by the vibration of an object, whether it is a guitar string, tool, or machine housing, which then causes the air around the object to vibrate. The sound wave then travels away from the source much like a wave that results when a pebble is tossed in a pond. The two c ...

SoundWorks Teachers` Notes
... When an object vibrates, its movement causes the air around it to move. The motion produced in the air itself is similar to the motion of the object, i.e. a back and forth movement. This movement is transmitted outwards through the air so that air at some considerable distance may also be moving bac ...
