A high pitched sound moves small amounts of air. Even if it moves that air quite a bit, you'll never feel it against your chest because of the wavelength of the sound.</p><p>The high pitched voice and low end bass are powerful i different ways. That's my cop out, mostly because I'm not 100% sure what the answer is.</p>createconsumedeleteTue, 13 Jan 2009 02:24:11 -0000http://createconsumedelete.com/what-is-amplitude/#comment-5088457<p>1. This would be a lot cooler if there was a link to leave a comment on the front page (just sayin' email if you want a hand).</p><p>2. Now onto the subject. Why if we have a low amplitude sound, that has a low frequency, and it displaces less air, (like a base drum) does it make a larger impact on our physical body (the thump in your chest) than a high high frequency, high amplitude sound?</p><p>As an aside it has recently been discovered that loud base can collapse a lung (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3614180.stm)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3614180.stm)">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/...</a> and a high pitch voice can break a glass. At the same volume, which is more powerful?</p>hubsTue, 06 Jan 2009 02:29:27 -0000
