1. sounds

   In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain. Only acoustic waves that have frequencies lying between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz, the audio frequency range, elicit an auditory percept in humans. In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 centimeters (0.67 in). Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to humans. Sound waves below 20 Hz are known as infrasound. Different animal species have varying hearing ranges.

   Sounds refer to vibrations or disturbances that are transmitted through a medium, typically air or water, and can be perceived by the human ear. These vibrations travel in waves that consist of changes in pressure, which our ears detect and interpret as sound. Everyday examples of sounds include speech, music, and various environmental noises. They play a vital role in communication, warning of danger, and providing information about our surroundings.

1. Sounds

   Sounds was a long-term British music paper, published weekly from 10 October 1970 – 6 April 1991. It was produced by Spotlight Publications, which was set up by Jack Hutton and Peter Wilkinson, who left Melody Maker to start their own company. Sounds was their first project, a weekly paper devoted to progressive rock and described by Hutton, to those he was attempting to recruit from his former publication, as "a leftwing Melody Maker". Sounds was intended to be a weekly rival to titles such as Melody Maker and New Musical Express. It was well known initially for giving away posters in the centre of the paper and later for covering heavy metal and Oi! music in its late 1970s-early 1980s heyday. Sounds was the first music paper in its coverage of punk and in the late eighties was maintaining its reputation for getting there first, when John Robb covered the Manchester music scene and came up with the term 'Britpop' whilst writing for Sounds. The paper's editors realized the importance of its regional audience and had freelancers across the UK contributing gig reviews and articles about up and coming local bands.

Examples of Sounds in a Sentence

1. Ashley Charles:

   The main appeal of chiptune music is that it's quite nostalgic -- using video game software and hardware from the 1980s and early 1990s to make sounds that sound like modern sounds, it's a way of creating music, it's not a genre ... You can make different types of chiptune music using different instruments.
