What Makes Different Sounds? Lawrence F. Lowery

On their walk home from school, twins Jane and Jim explore why sounds can be startling (like sirens), soothing (like certain music), or mysterious (like eerie creaking in an empty house). Along the way, readers get an introduction to the roles that vibration, pitch, and volume play in how rustles, rumbles, and rat-a-tat-tats are made and transferred to our ears.
