HOW ARE SOUNDS MADE?
( Go back to Changing Sounds )

Sounds are made by things vibrating. (Vibrating means the thing moves backwards and forwards very quickly.) An object or thing which creates a sound is a source of sound.

FOR EXAMPLE

If you pluck the string on a violin it makes a sound

because the string vibrates.
