In this tour of the world’s most unexpected sounds, Trevor Cox discovers the world’s longest echo in a hidden oil cavern in Scotland, unlocks the secret of singing sand dunes in California, and alerts us to the aural gems that exist everywhere in between. Cox explores naturally occurring and man-made environments that have surprising acoustical characteristics. What makes a concert hall “live?” How does open-plan design in schools affect learning? The Sound Book inspires us to become better listeners in a world dominated by the visual and to open our ears to the glorious cacophony all around us.
In MIM’s gallery STEM: How Science Brings Music to Life, guests of all ages learn about the science behind some of their favorite instruments and how humans experience sound.
