Sounds

We are surrounded by sounds: loud and quiet, melodic and sharp, distant and close, familiar and unknown. The kettle is whistling, the soup is bubbling in the pot, the clock is ticking, the radio is playing, the phone is ringing… Splash, thud, rustle, whistle, ringing, roar, crunch, screech, music, our speech - these are all sounds. Olga Fadeeva's new book invites readers to listen to the amazing world of sounds, full of unusual facts and mysteries. What is sound and can we "see" with its help; what sounds do we not hear, but they exist; how do animals sound and how does a human make sounds; what invention has forever changed the world of sounds and who in the world sings the loudest? Find the answers to these questions under the rustle of book pages.
