Tell me anon, why can we hear explosions?
What is it that vibrates and creates an audible tone?
Movement of air pressure alone is not audible, same as a single swing of a speaker membrane is unhearable.
I see how the explosion creates a shockwave from expansion and a "dropwave" from air falling back in. But what happens that keeps the tone going?
