Hearing: Frequency and Volume
Test your hearing range by listening to low-, medium-, and high-frequency sounds. Compare the relative loudness of sounds at each frequency to create an equal-loudness curve. In a quiet room, measure your threshold of audibility for each frequency, and compare your results to others. The volume of each sound can be adjusted.

Question for the downloaded file of the worksheet....How do we do #7? It asks to put dots and lines and it is an image. Thanks!

This Gizmo is great to show the difference between frequency, loudness and volume. And the Lesson Materials created by Scott Nelson ROCK!
