This book is address to kids; it would be the type of book for lay
audience because explains explicitly what Sound is, it describes it as a
‘’kind of energy that flows though the air in indivisible waves that are
capture by our ears’’. Then explains how theses vibrations are capture
by our eardrums and change to nerve pulses in our brains. This book
explains the characteristics of sound with examples, games and
activities like making your own radio receiver. By reading simple
definitions and applying theory in the projects described, it becomes
easy to understand concepts of sound waves like: pitch, hertz, sound
propagation, recording, ultrasound, radio waves and musical scales.

To modify the type sound the waves frequency is arrange and to increase or
decrease volume we modify the waves amplitude. To produce these waves a
speaker has to have something like a diaphragm (cone) with a suspension that
allows it to move. The suspension is attached to the drivers metal frame, called
the basket. Then, the narrow end of the cone is connected to the voice coil
which is attached to the basket by a ring of flexible material (spider) that helps
to hold the coil in position but lets it move back and forth. This is how the
vibrations are made.
