What will I learn?
This course provides a quick, hands-on guide to understanding sound behaviour and human hearing. Delve into frequency, amplitude, pitch, and loudness, linking them to hearing thresholds and psychoacoustics. Conduct simple experiments with smartphones and basic tools, analyse data, sidestep pitfalls, and develop practical explanations for teaching, demos, and presentations.
Elevify advantages
