Thinking About The Question

How can we describe sounds?


Here are four different sounds. You can probably tell what they are.


For each sound, fill out a line in the chart below. Write down what makes the sound. Also write a description of the sound. Use words like loud, soft, harsh, gentle, squishy, sharp, buzzy.

It's sometimes hard to describe sounds! One way to explore them more carefully is to display the sound vibrations on a graph, which is what you will do in this investigation.
