Harsco Science Center Exhibits
Sound and Music
Sound and Music resonates in the Galleries of Sound and Music as guests explore the art and science of sound: the basic physical principles of sound, acoustics, the technology of sound and music, and the many ways that sound is used in science and industry.

The Physics of Sound helps visitors of all ages discover the answer to the question, What Is Sound? Interactive exhibits reveal waves, interference, resonant frequencies, how sound and light travel in a vacuum and through air, and provide a scientific explanation for the eerie way the sound of a train whistle changes as the train moves.

Sound at Work focuses on the technology of sound: the applications of sound in science and industry, the surprising ways that sound is used in the natural world, and how sound is created, recorded and manipulated by musicians.
