Each musical instrument produces a characteristic vibration. The vibrations spread through the air forming sound waves that, when they reach the ear, allow us to identify the instrument, even if we cannot see it. The four examples shown represent typical waveforms of some common instruments. A tuning fork generates a pure sound, and vibrates regularly with a rounded waveform. A violin generates a clear sound and a jagged waveform. The flute generates a soft sound and a relatively rounded waveform.

Its waveform is jagged and random, and you usually cannot recognize the note. Sound is defined as th...
