Data noise #5

After our vibrator went bust, we had to come up with another idea and started Googling.

We came across the Doppler effect, which brought me back to GCSE physics memory lane. Brainard (2012) states the Doppler effect is “is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener. As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from the listener.”

The Doppler effect has inspired me to create a music visualiser using the physics of the Doppler effect – where the sound waves would come closer to the stationary observer and move in the direction of the sound.
