Vibrations go into your ears and vibrate something called your eardrum.

​

If we can’t see vibrations, how do we know they are happening?

  • We can make vibrations visible in many ways such as using a tuning fork and putting it in water. You can also feel your own throat while humming or putting paint inside a speaker. You can also film things vibrating with a special slow motion camera.

​

Why do we feel vibrations when we hum?

  • When your vocal cords vibrate, they make sound. Anytime you speak, your vocal cords are vibrating. The shape of your tongue and mouth also help you make different sounds.
