if energy is not lost nor created where does sound go?

Answer 1

Into the one ear, then out at the other

Answer 2

First, the sound waves spread out through the air, becoming fainter and fainter. What that means is that the waves of sound vibration have decreasing amplitude, because the energy of the vibration is being "shared" across the atmosphere.

Second, the amplitude eventually becomes so small that it can no longer be detected as a signal: it's lost in the noise, in fact it joins the noise. At this point you could regard its energy as just being an addition to the random thermal energy of the air: a slight addition to the temperature.

Answer 3

Oooo its good, got me thinking about it for at least two seconds. Energy is always converting itself into some other 'form' if you will. easily explianed, the sound gives its energy eventually to the particles through which its vibrating, the sound becomes simply mixed up with the air, but so different now than the original sound, essentially in meaningless little pieces, then getting used in something else.


Oh and what force does it take for things to vibrate?

Energyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 4

Sound needs energy in order to move. It is the result of a moving force. The product of the force and the distance that the force moves is the energy of the Sound.

Answer 5

Sound is mechanical vibration transmitted through matter. It is absorbed and converted into other energy, just as some other energy was converted to sound in the first place.

Answer 6

ACOUSTIC ATTENUATION, BENDING VIBRATION, JOINTS (JUNCTIONS), SOUND TRANSMISSION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, STRUCTURAL VIBRATION, ENERGY TRANSFER, FORCED VIBRATION, FREE VIBRATION, INCIDENCE, REFLECTANCE, SLABS, TRANSVERSE OSCILLATION

A generally valid method for calculating the coupling losses at a rectangular slab junction with respect to incident bending and longitudinal and transverse waves is presented. The calculation of slab joint coupling loss factors must be known for the application of statistical energy analysis (SEA) methods. Springs existing at the coupling joints as well as potential losses are taken into consideration. In the second part, the structure-borne sound transmission induced by forced bending waves is considered from the standpoint of the SEA model. It is demonstrated by theoretical and experimental studies that, in the case of structural slab systems having the usual loss factors and dimensions, the structure-borne sound transmission caused by forced bending waves is almost negligible by comparison with structure-borne sound transmission due to free bending waves.

Answer 7

those are 2 diffrent concept :
sound is not some kind of energy it's a vibration

Answer 8

It is dissipated as heat due to air friction! ;)
