Prolog The definition of sound can be “(a) Oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., propagated in a medium with internal forces (e.g., elastic or viscous), or the superposition of such propagated oscillation. (b) Auditory sensation evoked by the oscillation described in (a).”[4] Sound can be viewed as a wave motion in air or other elastic media. Here, sound is a stimulus. We can also view sound as an excitation of the hearing mechanism that results in the perception of sound. Sound, in this case, is a sensation.

At first there was no pattern or method, but very quickly he decided to try his hand at giving I a little bit of style. Unfortunately, Franks idea of style could only be described as cosmic vomit, i’s outer shell a strange dappling of green, grey, red and an offensively bright shade of yellow. Frank liked it.
