Properties of sound

Sound is created by sound waves that carry into your ear and hit your ear drum so you can hear it. Property is a belonging to someone or something.

When making a sound it can travel in every direction it comes from. Sound can also travel around corners.

As sound travels it gets weaker each second because as sound travels the energy spreads and the sound fades away.

Depending on where the sound comes from it can be loud if it's closer to a decibell meter but if it's further away the sound can be barely heard.

It's important to know where sound can and cannot be heard and using a sound meter to see how far sound can travel is a good way of learning about sound.
