This is different from how sight and sound are processed.
Sound familiar right?
Doesn't sound quite as poetic, does it?
But although this may sound similar to some human societies, this organization doesn't arise from any higher level decisions, but is part of a biologically programmed cycle.
Although they have no methods of intentional communication, individual ants do interact with one another through touch, sound and chemical signals.
Research has also shown that listeners shift their attention across musical repetitions, focusing on different aspects of the sound on each new listen.
In this way, repetition can open up new worlds of sound not accessible on first hearing.
The speech to song illusion captures how simply repeating a sentence a number of times shifts listeners attention to the pitch and temporal aspects of the sound, so that the repeated spoken language actually begins to sound like it is being sung.
A similar effect happens with random sequences of sound.
Repetition gives rise to a kind of orientation to sound that we think of as distinctively musical, where we're listening along with the sound, engaging imaginatively with the note about to happen.
For that, we need at least one opposing beat with a different sound, which can be the unstressed off beat or the accented back beat.
This question isn't as strange as it might sound.
The history of human progress is one of ever-increasing velocity, and one of the most important achievements in this historical race was the breaking of the sound barrier.
Finally, in 1947, design improvements, such as a movable horizontal stabilizer, the all-moving tail, allowed an American military pilot named Chuck Yeager to fly the Bell X-1 aircraft at 1127 km/h, becoming the first person to break the sound barrier and travel faster than the speed of sound.
To better understand how scientists study sonic booms, let's start with some basics of sound.
Similarly, even though we cannot see it, a stationary sound source, like a home stereo, creates sound waves traveling outward.
At sea level, sound travels at about 1225 km/h.
But instead of circles on a two-dimensional surface, the wave fronts are now concentric spheres, with the sound traveling along rays perpendicular to these waves.
Now imagine a moving sound source, such as a train whistle.
This greater wave frequency is the cause of the famous Doppler effect, where approaching objects sound higher pitched.
But as long as the source is moving slower than the sound waves themselves, they will remain nested within each other.
It's when an object goes supersonic, moving faster than the sound it makes, that the picture changes dramatically.
As it overtakes sound waves it has emitted, while generating new ones from its current position, the waves are forced together, forming a Mach cone.
No sound is heard as it approaches an observer because the object is traveling faster than the sound it produces.
The gigantic Diplodocus may have been capable of cracking its tail faster than sound, at over 1200 km/h, possibly to deter predators.
That may sound ridiculous.
All of these smells come from the activity of microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and, as disgusting as it may sound, similar bacteria live in the moisture-rich environment of your mouth.
Now, this might sound too simplistic to affect behavior.
What's that sound?
Depending on whom you ask, the crackle of popping joints is either the sound of sweet relief or the noxious tones of a stomach-turning habit.
