Sounds Good
'Our modern society has more ways of making sounds than ever before. How can we control sound to get good quality when we want it and cut out the sounds we don't want to hear?'
These practicals and videos use a workplace context to develop students' understanding of the properties of sound, and how science can be applied to improve sound quality.
The practicals explore the properties of sound. The video shows a research scientist from the University of Salford working with a sound engineer from Milton Keynes Theatre to improve the theatre's sound quality.
