What makes vibration sounds

Vibrations are the way that sound is made. For example, imagine a drum being hit with a mallet. The drum vibrates, creating a sound wave. The reason the drumhead creates sound waves is because it moves outward and inward, which pushes and moves the air around it. A forest is a busy place, with many creatures in it, so even if there are no humans around, some kind of animal or bug will experience the vibrations and use that data to run away from, or investigate the noise, i.

But if it just so happens that there are no creatures nearby to catch those waves with their auditory senses, and the energy merely propagates into nothing, does it make a sound at all? Even more interesting is; if nothing is around to hear the tree fall, can we go one step further and say no tree fell at all if nothing experiences it?

The falling of the tree or any other disturbance will produce vibration of the air. If there be no ears to hear, there will be no sound.

So, to finally answer the question; how do vibrations make sound? Well, they make sound by transferring energy away from a vibrating source, propagating through any given medium, solid gas or liquid, to our our ears and brain, where the information stored within the waveforms is decoded and interpreted. Music Sound Design Polytet About. How Do Vibrations Make Sound? Going to call my local electric company this week and see if they can help!

There is a secret government investigation and cover up that has been going on for over 40 years. If you ask them about it they will deny any knowledge of the buzzing sound and any investigation. My secret government contact has been telling me about this for years. Apparantly aliens are using our structures to observe us and send and receive signals. Any sound that is made, such as a voice, makes an object vibrate, so by "listening" to a structure they can hear every word you say and even produce an image from the data.

The buzzing sound you hear is the transmission of the data being sent and received. I had my house sided 11 years ago.

Now the white paint on the trim on the peaks of the roof is sliding off, a piece at a time. The contractor said it is PVC and that what i does after time. I'm been having the same buzzing noise that also seems to be coming from the upper area of my bedroom wall which shares a side with my 3rd floor apartment balcony. I thought it could be wasps nesting inside the wall but i dont see any coming in or out from the outside balcony. Idk if the person above is trolling but UVO sounds pretty scary!

I just moved into my 1st house.. I think it's coming from the meter box.. NO ONE has any idea! Frustrating for sure! What the heck is going on with this weird drill-in-the-wall noise?? It happened to us today two. Twice, early in the morning, on an outside brick wall of the home in the corner - it was so quick it was difficult to say exactly where it was coming from. Some sort of trapped bionic insect sound Weather is hot, no meters there, no windy day.

It's a disturbing mystery. Hope everyone solves their UVO ;. Same freaking noise! So annoying? Should I call electrician? Just googled and I guess a lot of people have similar problem. Damn I've scrolled thru all the comments and nothing yet?? Facing the same issue that started yesterday around am. I'm in California where it's getting chiller but definitely not even close to the ones mentioned above.

Please don't say I'm the next UVO target!!! Ok for the last few months ive tried to rule it out. Ive turned off the hvac and the water heater and unplugged everything. Ive checked all the meters. Recently i saw a groundhog go under my house so im wondering if im living over the makings of a sinkhole.

Im in michigan, we had a major sewer failure cause a sinkhole a few miles away recently. Somebody please figure it out. Ready to buy a seismograph - or move. I'm in california and I have the same noises It drives me crazy. But it seems to move around my mobile home. Especially when I spray bug killer. Been going on months now some days worse than others. We noticed a vibrating noise every 2 minutes, and it lasted 2 seconds each time. We heard it all over the house. We started unplugging everything trying to figure out the noise.

Turns out it was our neighbors hot tub making the noise. Funny thing is, we have a nice patch of woods and about half a mile to three-fourths of a mile distance between us.

It literally took us a few hours of tracking the noise, to figure it out. We worried about electrical problems, fire, etc I'm having the same obnoxious loud buzzing, vibrating, drilling noise. It's am and its been going on for hours! Random pattern only lasting a couple seconds. I live in a corner townhouse, the noise is coming from the 2nd floor bathroom outside wall. It is not cold but a very windy night. It sounds like something is loose outside like a shingle or gutter that's maybe blowing in the wind but I can only hear the noise from the inside.

I'm so confused! Someone help if you can! Had the same problem, turns out it was the sump pump. I just had a similar circumstance in my house that, after a thorough investigation, turned out to be the crawl space dehumidifier. It seemed to correspond with the temperature dropping, which made me incorrectly attribute the noise to the furnace. The noise may have been a symptom of coils freezing.

This one is also past its typical lifespan. Finally found cause for me, hope this helps others. I put my ear to my wall and the sound was the same strength no matter where I listened on that wall.

The culprit? My downspout was steadily dripping on some lawns chairs, which were leaning against that wall. Move the chairs out from under the water, went back in Too bad it took 1. Hope it helps. Tldr; snow melt was running off roof, onto an object up against the outside wall, causing minute but constant vibrations I found the solution for my issue,so sharing for others.

I put my ear to the wall and checked various spots Moving the chairs out from under the flow of water fixed my issue. TLDR: check if anything is under a flow of water or wind and vibrating against the house; if so, move them and see if the issue resolves itself. I can solve all problems. It's called water hammer Then turn water back and a few minutes and Wala Tucson Tyler.

Yeah I have just experienced this.. Ugh someone figure this out. I live in Michigan and only hear the noise when it is cold out. My son thought it might be from the heat tape on my outside faucet but when we unplug it there is still the noise.

He was trying to locate the area where the noise is coming from and it is in the ceiling. You an put your hand on the ceiling and feel the vibration in the drywall.

I turned off the breaker to the back bedroom and the humming stopped so it is definitely electrical. Checked the wiring for the ceiling exhaust fan in the bathroom as you can feel the vibration in the bathroom adjoined to the bedroom also. Did I mention this noise only happens during the winter and has been going on for years. Very annoying. Anyone find a solution yet? But I don't know how to generate this type of vibration.. We have this same noise, but it is constant.

It just started last night. We are new home owners, and never experienced anything like this before. When I press on the wall where the buzzing is coming from, it stops. When I let go, it comes back. It is super loud and obnoxious. And no stopping! Any ideas at all? I can't hear it from anywhere else in my house, and no other walls or rooms are affected.

A loud drilling sound in an outside wall. I cannot hear the drilling in any other room bedsides my bedroom. I have recorded the noise and we will make some calls. I have a tv arial bolted to the wall. The wind bends it so when the wind drops it twangs.

A bit like twanging a giant ruler against your wall. Let me rescue everyone. Kill the power, pop the cover off and disconnect it for replacement. Sound should stop.

I was hearing a noise sounding like a jackhammer or weedwhacker while inside my house, but it seemed like it was coming from outside. I could only hear it on the second floor corner room. After pounding it back in, there are no more air pockets, and the problem is solved. The sound stoped hear my doorbell button was jamed up..

Buzzing stoped. Ok so I have seen people figuring out what there noise is whether it be a pipe issue or a vent, but the noise I hear is definitely not caused by that. I walked to the bedroom and asked my wife if she heard it and she assumed it was my phone, and then it happened again this time louder, and again, so I timed it and the vibration lasted five seconds followed by 55 seconds of silence and then vibration again.

I went into the laundry room and the sound grew louder, I soon realized it was coming from out side. I opened the back door and the sound was loud enough that I know the neighbors could hear it but as I got closer to what I thought was the source it stopped about 10 feet away from my back door.

I have no idea what it was and the sound was a distinct vibration not a drill not a rattling, but a vibration, if anybody can help me with that please let me know. I believe I have figured it out! Turns out my problem Was a power line attached to my wall, it had a branch on top of it, causing it to be tight and pull on the lag bolt in the wall.

Any time the wind blew it would sway the branches causing the noise off and on for short periods. Finally figured out the cause, trimmed the limbs and it stopped!

Hope it helps and be safe or call a pro when cutting limbs! Thats weird So I am deathly afraid of flying bugs, that being said I had 2 wasps come in through my fireplace yesterday and so I duct tapped that bitch closed so no more can get into my house. Since this has happened I have heard a loud buzzing, life a cell phone on a hard surface, every so many minutes. Sometimes it is super loud, sometimes a low buzz or hum. I just can't believe that wasps could make that loud of a noise, its like it is amplified.

I unplugged the TV and echo dot and the vibration still happened. So is this electrical or super killer wasps. Update on my post from yesterday. I think the wasp nest in my fireplace is just a coincidence. I have been watching the trees for wind to see if the sound and the breeze coincide with one another and so far they do. From reading some other posts I hoping that it is a cable wire loose but won't know until I get rid of the nest.

Hope this is helpful. Dear everyone bare with me please. I have had more than just vibrations. I thought i was going g. Sometimes words sometimes vibrations and tones Then id start to hear mario bros noises and ninja turtle noises from my pipes thats how i knew i must be crazy. Then it stopped for a time and came back. Something else was usually when a car drove by but sometimes when one didnt id hear a boom Then sounded like people walking around middle of the night Anyways after piecing it all together one day when i kept hearing coalescing scales and their interference with each other and at some point on day 2 i matched the intense build up as the frequency got really high, to storm water draining into our pit and then out the sump pump.

Pt2 Now here is my speculation, about 2 years ago mit tested a proof of concept that used rf to scan the surface of waves for ultrasound vibrations. The spectrum of rf they used? I forget the exact but i believe it was 10ghz which while i believe that one is reserved it falls in the range of 5g of which are going up everywhere.. N we are made mostly of water so this isnt a far stretch. The guy who said aliens is probably the most accurate lol Especially all thats going on too Please let me know if this makes sense to everyone and if it helps -nw.

I had a hive inside the vent on the roof. The vent was not covered. Once we sprayed bee killer and snaked the vent and covered it, we have been hearing the noise. Now we need to go back up and assess the bees and hive.

Good Luck! I googled and wound up here. Awakened by second buzz from an electrical outlet that nothing was plugged into. It happened 3 times within a minute. Could be a loose wire? I woke up to a loud vibration, two beats to be exact. It sounded like a cell phone vibrating on the table next to my head. Every 5 minutes, it would go off again. It was terrifying! I shit off the breaker box, and it was still happening.

I isolated it to a corner of my living room. After going absolutely insane for two hours hearing it vibrate my walls, I found that it was a Bluetooth speaker that I had left on.

It must have been dying and warning me to charge it. It was sitting on a metal table in my living room causing the whole house to shake. Scared the crap out of me but I can sleep again so be sure to check external devices. Drilling noise, lasts only 2 seconds or so but repeats. Happened to us twice now, and both times it was a damn woodpecker. Good morning everyone In surprised no one has figured it out yet.. I have this same noise in the mornings on my second floor corner bedroom It sounds like a small jackhammer in the wall Gues what, one day I decided to look out the window and saw it's a woodpecker.

Check out woodpecker morning wake up on YouTube Tx. Same here. It was a bird. Every minutes there is a loud buzzer noise and I cant go to be and am I'm dressed and dont know what to do. WRH is it? My gut is telling me it some how coincides with this 5G bullshit. We have the same thing. Will be calling the electrician!

I am second floor of a three story apartment building. I thought I was losing my mind this morning. I sat here and listened, and finally worked out that it's the upstairs neighbors air conditioning. We live in southern Arizona, where it's already hit over degrees. It does this by putting pressure on a small diaphragm within the fill valve, forming a seal.

This is what happens when a toilet is working properly. However, over time the diaphragm can harden. When it loses its elasticity, this reduces its effectiveness at forming the seal. So, the vibrations you end up hearing is actually the incoming water causing the hardened diaphragm to bounce around inside the fill valve. The best way to confirm that the fill valve is indeed the problem is to remove the tank lid and gently lift the arm of the fill valve.
