Bad Vibes and Good Vibrations

Heads up for:
The Sounds of Science: Bad Vibes and Good Vibrations
Wednesday 24 October 2007 21:00-21:30 (Radio 4 FM)
Trevor Cox investigates the science of sound research.

"Why do we find some sounds pleasant while others grate on the ears? The answer leads unexpectedly to the origins of music via some Tamarin monkeys, a remote tribe in Cameroon and the home of JS Bach."

I guess this is going to be similar to the acoustics for kids presentations he was doing earlier in the year and will probably make use of the results of the Sound 101 experiment.

I like to see acoustics getting some media attention and explanation – too many people regard it as some sort of black art – and Trev is very good at explaining these things to the public.
