We’ll eventually understand how these sounds are created and how they get to your ears, but we have to start by talking about the medium that is most commonly associated with sound – air.

Thank you for sharing! This is a great page and the little interactive bits help a lot.

Even knowing how sound works, I still have such a hard time reconciling that that's what's happening when I hear things - that we just have organs evolved to be so finely attuned to these vibrations in the air that we can then harness them for things like music.
