30 Examples of Natural Sounds and Artificial Sounds

Natural sounds and artificial sounds

The Sense of hearing It allows all the people who have developed it correctly (and have not lost it) to be able to identify with greater or lesser accuracy the origin of the sounds they perceive.

The propagation of sound is carried out by means of waves that need a medium to propagate. One medium can be air or water, for example. The waves are distinguished from each other by certain magnitudes physical.

It is these magnitudes that make certain sounds can be perceptible for a young person and not for an older person, or that some can be heard by certain animals and not by people.

The fact that human beings are part of nature makes it very difficult to classify the sounds that are produced by their presence and those that are produced in nature without it. However, a sensible criterion for classifying sounds into artificial sounds and sounds natural is to think a certain degree of human intervention that returns to a sound more artificial than natural.
