Sound definition

Sound means an oscillation in pressure, particle displacement, particle velocity or other physical parameter, in a medium with internal forces that cause compression and rarefaction of that medium. The description of sound may include any characteristic of such sound, including duration, intensity and frequency.
Sound means an auditory sensation evoked by the oscillation of air pressure.
Sound means a temporal and spatial oscillation in pressure, or other physical quantity, in a medium with interval forces that causes compression and rarefaction of that medium, and which propagates at finite speed to distance points.

More Definitions of Sound

Sound means an oscillation in pressure in air which can produce the sensation of hearing when incident upon the ear;
Sound means the oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement of particle velocity, in a medium with internal forces (i.e. elastic, viscous) or the super position of such propagated oscillations, which oscillations are capable of causing an auditory sensation;
Sound means not over-ripe, soft or wilted, and free from rot, excessive bruising and physical injury, internal or external, that is likely to affect the keeping quality of the plum; and
Sound means any disturbance of the air or other medium that is detectable by the unaided human ear or which produces vibrations detectable by reasonable persons of normal sensibilities.
Sound means a temporal and spatial oscillation in pressure, or other physical quantity with interval forces that cause compression or rarefaction of the medium, and that propagates at finite speed to distant points.
Sound means small fluctuations in the air pressure that result in a wave capable of exciting in a listener the sensation of hearing.
Sound means an oscillation in pressure, particle displacement, particle velocity or other physical parameter in a medium with interval forces that cause compression or rarefaction of the medium.
