The human ear

- The ear is the organ that detects sound. It not only receives sound,but also aids in balance and body position. The ear is part of theauditory system.

Often the entire organ is considered the ear, though it may also beconsidered just the visible portion. In most mammals, the visible earis a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna (or auricle inhumans) and is the first of many steps in hearing. Vertebrates have apair of ears placed somewhat symmetrically on opposite sides of thehead. This arrangement aids in the ability to localize sound sources.

The sound

Latin sonitus, a sound is a feeling that is generated in the ear from the vibrations of things. These vibrations are transmitted through the air or other elastic medium.

As the sense of hearing works 

The sense of hearing is essential for human development and the individual in society , one of the main directions of our species.

  Listening to the voice, the music and sounds of all kinds, helps us

relate to our neighbors and to develop word and speech.

This does not mean that it is vital to our existence and, of course , many people lack this sense for one reason or another .

  Much of the understanding of the physical, biological and social

universe is obtained through the audition , and sounds continuously informed about the activities of the environment, even in areas beyond visual range or during sleep .

 

Operation of the Ear

The ear consists of three sections: - The outer ear ,

- Middle ear , and - The inner ear.

These parts work together , to hear and process sounds 24 hours a day . The first step of the hearing process is the capture of a sound, this is processed and traslated , but the interpretation of sounds, takes place in the brain and this process allows you to identify if the sound is the

sound of your a person , a barking dog, a musical instrument, etc. .

 

types of sound

Environmental Sound: In electroacoustic music, an ambient

sound that is taken from the environment-in the broadest sense, or

one that is perceived as such.

Found Sound Derivative objet trouvé (found object) of

Dadaism, a Sound Found is one that is removed from its original context and re contextualized within a musical context. This is particularly easy to achieve within the genre of electro acoustic music.

Sound Abstract: An Abstract Sound can perceptually

privileging some qualities or sound parameters on which the musicians have focused their attention on the study. This could be in terms of the techniques used in creating the sound contribution to the overall musical discourse.

Melody

A melody is a sequence of sounds is perceived as a single entity. It unfolds in a linear sequence, ie over time, and has an own identity and meaning

within a particular soundscape. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination

of height and pace, while more figuratively, the term has occasionally been extended to include successions of other musical elements such as

timbre. It can be considered that the melody is the foreground the background accompaniment. But a

melodic line or voice need not necessarily be a foreground melody.

Noise

Noise is generally unpleasant hearing sensation inarticulate . The environment is defined as all annoying to the ear. From this point of view , the most sublime music can be classified as noise by a person who at one time you do not want to hear it.

In the field of acoustic communication is defined as unwanted noise all interferes in communication between people or their activities sound.

When the term is used synonymously with acoustic noise pollution , it is referring to a noise (sound) with high intensity ( or a sum of intensities) , which may even be harmful to human health. Against excessive noise earplugs and earmuffs ( ear headphones , which contain electronics that reduces the outside noise , decreasing them or making their hearing more enjoyable ) are used to prevent hearing loss ( that , if left unchecked , can cause hearing loss).
