The researchers used high-speed cameras to track the hand motion, air flow and sound of 10 volunteers clapping, measuring the different frequencies when the size and shape of the cavity between ...

The “Helmholtz resonator” concept explains the frequencies of sound produced by clapping the hands together in different configurations.

Most of us think clapping is just about two hands hitting each other, but new research out this week in the journal Physical Review Research found that the clap that we hear actually comes from ...

The rationale was that some adults with HFA-ASD who might be attending might have auditory hypersensitivity, and the sound of so much clapping might be quite aversive. What’s wrong with this ...

Scientists finally crack mystery of how clapping generates sound Study finds sound isn’t just from two hands smashing into each other ...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, shows that the sound of a clap is not just due to two hands smashing into each other.

The rationale was that some adults with HFA-ASD who might be attending might have auditory hypersensitivity, and the sound of so much clapping might be quite aversive. What’s wrong with this ...

The key to generating sound from clapping is a cavity of air that is compressed and pushed out of a small space. Scientists followed an interdisciplinary approach to understand clapping, using live ...
