Physics, ecological acoustics and the auditory system
Abstract
Sound occurs when vibrations travel through a medium. These vibrations, their propagation, and their interaction with the environment are dictated by laws of physics, and indirectly reflect underlying physical properties of things in the world. The sense of audition exists to measure sound and infer its causes in the world, so as to help organisms interact with the world around them. Audition is thus indirectly but intimately shaped by the physics of sound.
