Surviving the Tsunami First, it's possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit land. The underwater rupture likely generated sound waves known as infrasound or infrasonic sound. These low tones can be created by hugely energetic events, like meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, and earthquakes. second early-warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration. In addition to spawning the tsunamis, Sunday's quake generated massive vibrational waves that spread out from the epicenter on the floor of the Indian Ocean's Bay of Bengal and traveled through the surface of the Earth.

Loud music damages the nerves in the brain Loud music damages the nerves in the brain. Loud music played on earphones causes hearing loss by having a similar effect on nerves as multiple sclerosis, research finds. The research shows that noise levels above 110 decibels strip insulation from nerve fibers carrying signals from the ear to the brain.

- The study of sound properties (especially reflections) is called acoustics. Waves – Sound and Light Slide 5 Refraction The change of speed in different mediums can bend a sound wave if it hits the different medium at a non-90° angle. This is called refraction. The wave bends toward a slower medium or away from a faster medium.

Health effects from noise Annoyance effects of noise are minimally affected by demographics, but fear of the noise source and sensitivity to noise both strongly affect the 'annoyance' of a noise. Even sound levels as low as 40 dB(A) (about as loud as a refrigerator or library) can generate noise complaints and the lower threshold for noise producing sleep disturbance is 45 dB(A) or lower.

- Doppler Effect. You hear the high pitch of the siren of the approaching ambulance, and notice that its pitch drops suddenly as the ambulance passes you. That is called the Doppler effect. When a vehicle with a siren passes you, a noticeable drop in the pitch of the sound of the siren will be observed as the vehicle passes. This is an example of the Doppler effect. An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged.

- Sometimes hearing loss exerts a direct impact on mental health. Depression and adjustment disorder can occur as a natural response to hearing loss and its subsequent impact on the quality of life. On the other hand, some people have pre-morbid mental health issues and hearing loss simply compounds the problem.

- The effects of a high wave. 1  Destructive waves are created in storm conditions. 2  They are created from big, strong waves when the wind is powerful and has been blowing for a long time. 3  They occur when wave energy is high and the wave has travelled over a long fetch.  They tend to erode the 1  coast. They have a stronger backwash than swash.

Acquired Causes of Secondary Hypogonadism in the Adult Male Symptoms of acquired hypogonadism in the adult male can be nonspecific and subtle, possibly because target tissues for testosterone are already fully developed or because other androgens (such as those from the adrenal gland) may compensate. Still, symptoms can be problematic.

- Updated May 09, 2016. Question from a Reader: I've been reading about the glycemic index, and trying to choose foods which will have less impact on my blood sugar. I really don't understand why a food like potatoes (glycemic index 90) would be so much higher than white sugar (glycemic index 59). If I'm understanding this right, the glycemic index is based on the same amount of carbohydrate in the different foods.

sound wave Part of the Computing fundamentals glossary: A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water, or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound. The source is some object that causes a vibration, such as a ringing telephone, or a person's vocal chords.

- Diffraction uses the edges of a barrier as a secondary sound source that sends waves in a new direction. These secondary waves overlap and interfere with each other and the original waves, making the sound less clear. Working together, diffraction and reflection can send sounds to every part of a room.
