What is sound?

Sound is vibrations of

air particles moving

through the air...

... that moves a diaphragm in the

microphone which in turn gets

translated into an electrical signal...

...that is converted to a

stream of binary data and

stored in a digital format

by the camera or audio

recorder and stored as a

digital le.

The digital le can be can

be played back by a

computer or media player

through speakers or

headphones which in turn

reproduce the vibrations

originally recorded.

Bonus: distortion, coloration and noise are

added by the microphone and additional noise

might be added by cables and electronic

circuits along the way (the reproduced sound

is never identical to the original)
