How Sound Works - The Physics of Sound Waves

[@theresistance3508]

I know it must have taken a lot of hardwork to make this video but if it is worth anything a random guy is very thankful to you and wishes you all the best in life. Thanx for you time brother!

[@MrMcMath]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me. I wish the same for you :)

[@desr2395]

This is THE most concise and easy to understand explanation on this topic that I've seen. 12/10

[@TheCelljony]

do not take this down. this is really helpful, especially when you know nothing about sound.

[@Yt_ShadowBannedme]

Agreed

[@curiosityintrigue]

You had my full attention for 16 minutes. I came in knowing very little to having both a better understanding of the topic & an appreciation of your fantastic teaching style. Each part you explained provided a depth of information I had hoped for & you delivered. I’m anticipating & intrigued to listen to not only part two, but also any other instructional videos you have available.

[@MrMcMath]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.

[@pinnacleexpress420]

@@MrMcMath I agree with bro, you spoke with essentially perfect concision, provided visuals, and also went to the perfect depth. On to part 2! Lol Edit: Error 404 part 2 not found

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

@@MrMcMath Hi - can u please help me access the link to part two ? ✨👋🏼

[@sofi_nadsat]

I´ve seen a thousands of tutorials about sound, and I can say that this is the best tutorial ever.

[@shrinand-jy3kb]

i found a gem today in understanding the sound more clearly ..... i jz started up ...hehe WOW !! ...and GEM bcoz, whoever explains u basics is a GEM bcoz basics are the GEM itself !! Thanks for sharing the video mate.....booOOoom

[@chrisrickenbach8167]

I am just starting to dive into sound recording and starting to read about these basics. My thought as i was reading was that sound moved circularly instead of the up and down graphs that i see. Your shovel demonstration really helped me to see how sound actually travels, where it is an up and down, but is also an across the plane. Thank you for your easy to understand explanations of this!

[@RaymondMatthews577]

Thank You for helping me understand what I couldn't describe in communication about visualizing sound characteristics ... Envelope & Harmonic Content were the missing definitions I needed .. Makes sense now 🤔

[@XR650Max]

That was the single best explanation for sound I have ever heard. Bravo and thank you sir

[@cryptosfool]

excellent visualization... i think i finally understand this.

[@zehrayousef9793]

Very clearly explained without frills and extra mumbo jumbo to confuse

[@Or.BenHaim]

Great video!

[@draharecords793]

Simplest explanation ever!! Good job man 💯

[@mltvrsemusic975]

6:17 was so familiar but i didnt expect that

[@patricksweeney4601]

Loved the video. Very clear.

[@DanielYWoo]

The best video about sound ever, and just in 16 mins, all clear. Thanks Adam.

[@soundmad6021]

You are great man! Please teach, don't think twice, you are rare.

[@armadillo85]

Near perfect pace, which I find almost impossible to find in a documentary. Graphics and visuals are both intuitive and easy to understand logically. I got a cliffhanger feeling in my gut a few times, which is also rare for me while watching a documentary. Really nice work.

[@anamariaclarinet]

This is great and clear. Where is the part 2!?

[@MrMcMath]

Coming this summer! (hopefully)

[@shadihamedi7326]

I basically don't know anything about music or even sound! I was searching for something slightly relevant to this topic, and I came across this video. You kept me to watch the whole 16-minute video! You explain incredibly fantastic. I don't know you but you should be a great teacher. Thanks for this video.

[@anhdays1415]

This is the best video I saw today, it's pure knowledge. I can't thank you enough

[@josephngwaka7913]

Oh my!!! That was a great video. Was looking for some content to help a friend of my, but I ended up learning from you, because of the way you presented all these notions. Thanks

[@drorraba5775]

you are a legend. this is such a gem. cant believe you’ve done this 9 years ago! any idea where i can find part 2?

[@jojo1865]

Best explanation out there. Thanks

[@carlosmagallanes3215]

thank you I learn now about frequencies and amplitude.

[@skinnybeats4202]

One of the best sound engineering videos I've seen, very cut to the point, no b.s. Good job

[@KatieMinks]

This was incredible and drastically increased my understanding of how sound works. I really liked the envelope / package metaphor, and I think continuing with that metaphor or using a different one would have helped me understand overtones better, which is the only thing in the video I feel a bit fuzzy on conceptually. Thank you so much! Super grateful for this content!

[@aaronramireztenorio8751]

Some of the best explanations in youtube!

[@wahishabdallahiman3267]

Man you explained it very well, thanks 👍

[@Yumetro]

This is the best video ive seen so far, The way you explained everything made it very simple for me to understand. Thank you so much.

[@topinfo_ng]

This is one of the best sound tutorial for beginners. I really love it. I now understand perfectly how sounds are being produced. All thanks to you.

[@morganm5475]

Thank you!! this is better than any physics class ive ever had

[@PetarLuketina]

Best. Explanation. I. Have. Ever. Heard. 👏 Thank you, sir!

[@chrismezzacappa3248]

This video is incredible. You deserve a million Views.

[@yoomsitcho]

This was very instructive thank you

[@davidfallon4898]

Nice talking speed....great explanations ( like the fruit juice comparison too )...keep going with your tutorials. Recapping on the basics is always a must from time to time no matter how advanced we get in this science.

[@Guycjohnsen]

I really enjoyed your video. Thank you sir!

[@12Djpedro]

Dude, your video was awesome. You would be a great teacher.

[@darkskinwhite]

wasnt sure about this at first, but its legit. i know about sound but sometimes i just like to go over the super basics and fundamentals. thanks bro, great job

[@ameerfaris6336]

You did a great job at not making it bored like other videos. Have a great day

[@Riidher]

Nice job of demonstrating a complex topic in simple and understandable terms. I feel I have a better inkling of what is really happening with the sound waves I'm hearing.

[@noramontfort3353]

this video is seriously amazing, thank you so much for all your work! even after coming to this 8 years after publishing it is still so sooo helpful!!!

[@gregbean2303]

This video was incredible. Such a good explanation

[@queeniefcharles]

This was extremely helpful, I couldn’t be happier. I usually someone who's afraid of everything related to math and waves in general and you got my full attention, and I got everything. I even took notes! Thank you for the great content. The internet is made for this kind of wholesome content

[@elijaheskin1]

Thank you! Entertaining and easy to understand

[@kathleen3415]

Killer job breaking these concepts down! Thanks so much for making this video!

[@curiousam4275]

Excellent video tutorial! You simplified a rather complex subject using real/actual examples to illustrate and “amplify” your concepts. You’re a gifted teacher! Like they say - you brought the cookie jar from the top shelf to the floor so everyone can partake. Thanks Adam! I appreciate your gift to us. Btw, if you can simplify how a compressor, gate and reverb works and how to use them effectively, I’d (& our Sunday school music and sound team) be forever grateful to you!

[@MrMcMath]

Thanks so much! I have a video about how compressors work here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYCoY4uJg56ap6s A noise gate is pretty much the opposite of a compressor. A compressor will attenuate signal ABOVE the threshold while a gate will attenuate signal BELOW the threshold. Reverb is its own can of worms. How it works depends on the type: spring, plate, room reflections, etc. As far as using each of them effectively, it's really about understanding how they work and then TONS of practice and experimentation. Hope that helps, lmk if you have any questions.

[@pedrohenriquepereiradefrei7109]

I cam here not because I wanted to learn more about music, but because I needed to learn more about sound for engineering class. Did not left disapointed

[@deepakubhoo7406]

this was an excellent no bullshit explanation

[@matttorres8921]

This has been super helpful, I’ve been racking my brain the last week trying to figure this out. Awesome video. Within the first 3 minutes I understood what took me weeks to understand!

[@dbuet2]

Thanks for this. The way you explain it makes total sense.

[@jovbrza1749]

wheres pt 2? great video nice examples ty

[@Dreaming-11]

Please, can you make available PART 2? Best video of this topic I found so far.

[@bitflux2]

nice, we need more, cant find part two

[@MrMcMath]

Hopefully coming this summer

[@davidbrown6340]

Masterful teaching: clear and pleasant.

[@powerfulsparks]

This is a great video, very useful and interesting

[@darkhorsecomms]

Nice work!

[@ruxandrabeschea5810]

this was so helpful, thanks for saving my physics grade!

[@diegodelafuente2142]

Excelente! You are a natural educator. Thxs!

[@idontnoapassword]

Wow! Didn't realize how small of a channel this was! I could tell by the Camera quality but the editing and content was so smooth! Great video and great content. Keep it up!

[@timothywinfrey6124]

great video my man

[@RogerioValgode]

Wow, one of the best explanations I saw. So good... Congrats!

[@chanmoore6635]

I'm going to a sound engineering school, and we are going through this very thing in week 1. This helped break things down and give me some additional context! Thanks a lot and keep the videos coming Adam!

[@behzadbisadi9010]

very useful information, thanks a lot Adam.

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

Fascinating report on the science of sound. How to find the next video 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@abrahamholleran4162]

Super helpful, thanks!

[@kennydust]

This is on point. I'm studying this at uni but it's not even close to this engaging. Thanks for sharing.

[@hanaanrosenthal]

Great video - thank you!

[@nelnelnel533]

Thanks alot man! You've done an amazing job at explaining these concepts, clearer than most videos out there

[@simcHyt]

Truly helpful, I wanted to learn this for a long time and I've finally found a video that properly explains the roots of sound, thank you :)

[@Cultofthoughts]

That was a perfect explanation! thank you !

[@maryh8362]

We loved this video! You had my curious just-turned-six year old’s attention for the full 16 minutes. She is wondering about part two, because how our ears receive the sound was a lot to do with what sparked the curiosity to begin with. 😊 Thank you for posting! We really enjoyed it!

[@MrMcMath]

Thanks so much, glad you both enjoyed it! I've been meaning to create part 2 for years now. It's still on my to-do list, hopefully I can check it off soon.

[@alexandershein4657]

This is an awesome explanation of sound waves, thank you very much for your effort!

[@iROLL24]

Thank you. This presentation was articulated well and aesthetically pleasing. I’m a new subscriber! I can’t get enough of sound, frequency, vibration, energy and the sorts.

[@guillermodelatierra]

What about part 2? Excellent job 😄

[@MrMcMath]

This summer! (hopefully)

[@thomashare542]

So helpful, thank you!!

[@nahhh5318]

10/10 been looking for something like this for a while, nice video.

[@aaniaistify]

fantastic video! finally i understand the basics of how sound works

[@ayriln]

I don't comment most of the time but it was so helpful that I hope everything had such a good explanation and I couldn't bring myself to leave with just a like. thank you.❤❤❤❤

[@ennonslegers]

This is absolutely helpful to me and I went through the whole. I searched for part 2 in your channel but didn't find it. Appreciate it if you could do part 2. Thanks so much.

[@jasonhaug8653]

dope video dude thank you, very helpful

[@wilburh2m]

Great explanation of the kinds of waves and why they are what they are. 58.4 feet for a 20hz signal? That puts alot into perspective.

[@jacquesjacques2883]

This video was awesome. Can't wait till part 2

[@nokablue]

Love this video! You take a very complex concept and make it very accessible. Only one question: You mention "air particles" sitting in front of a speaker, which are moved (compressed) together by the [magnetic?] vibrations of the speaker.... but *what is* an "air particle"? It's clearly not something we can see... so what are these invisible particles that are moving? Thanks for the lesson!

[@MrMcMath]

The air particles I'm referring to are the molecules that make up the "fluid" of air all around us. For example, if you put your hand in front of your face and blow on it, you're feeling the air particles rushing past your hand. I'm no chemist but I believe it's made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, maybe some hydrogen? The vibrations the speaker creates are mechanical energy pushing those molecules back and forth. The speaker is a transducer, meaning it turns electrical energy (electrical impulses sent through to wire ) into mechanical energy (the speaker physically moving back and forth). Hope that answers your question :)

[@ChristianRyanVlogs]

Where is part 2? Awesome video! My next search is how the brain perceives sound. Went a little fast for my slow brain but good thing I can remind. Many thanks for your explanation

[@AmirBeysafer]

That's really simple and informative. Thanks a lot you helped me a lot in understanding how it works! Would love to see more of your stuff. Please keep going! One more thing, you proved to me that making a great video doesn't necessarily need expensive equipment!

[@Vofr]

Thank you man this is so helpful ❤👍

[@Lara-ym8fe]

Awesome video. I've watched a lot with these basic information on sound and yours is actually the first which covered everything and that really understandable! Thank you. I was was searching for Part II Psychoacoustics...would be awesome if you load it up too! Looking forward to it :)

[@MrMcMath]

Hopefully this summer!

[@hgracern]

This is so intriguing, thank you. Thanks too for yr pacing, yr soft voice explains 10:10 fab content. …I clicked on it wondering if you’d explain why certain sounds irritate the brain. Why a certain chord or combination makes us teary. V helpful. ❤

[@danielboozdb]

Amazing content! Thank you. Very gifted teacher

[@AmeenAltajer]

Adam, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much I've been looking for this sort of explanation for a very long time, thank you again.

[@MrMcMath]

Thank you, Ameen. I appreciate your comment. Sorry for responding so late!
