Sound Waves

As an electrical engineering student, we are taught a lot about how waves move through different mediums. Waves are an amazing because humans can hear these waves as sound when they are between the frequencies of 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. These waves are influenced by everything around us, such as the room that we are in, or the structure that we are near. As engineers, we can take measurements of how a sounds responds to a certain environment and create a system based off of that response that can determine the way that any sound would behave in that same environment (without being there). Sound waves are an amazing, invisible things that we know a lot about, but are still learning more about every day.
