	Sound design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sound designers, on the other hand, are expected to be creative, and their role is a generalization of the other creative department heads.
		Sound design is one of the youngest fields in technical theatre, second only to the use of projection and other multimedia displays.
		Sound design has fast become an integral part of the design process for many theatres and sound designers often hold similar, if not superior positions in the creative team to the lighting designer and other designers.

	Sound Design
		Sound designers and composers begin their work by studying the script, gathering as much information as they can about any sound or music it calls for.
		Sound and music cues are often dependent on the precise timing of the onstage action and can only be set after the play's blocking has been determined.
		The sound designer will meet with the director and the design team (set, costume, lighting and sound designers), to discuss the details of the set and the director's interpretation of the play.

	Sound Design
		Sound design is as important as art direction and cinematography when it comes to crafting a distinctive atmosphere for your film, and it can also be an effective tool in expressing the personalities of your characters.
		The author, a musician, writer and director who lectures and consults in sound design for TV and film, and who is involved in interactive media sonification through Sonic Strategies, a company he co-founded, goes way beyond the nuts and bolts of sound design to also explore the perceptual and physiological effects of sound.

	Designing for sound by Randy Thom
		Sound, musical and otherwise, has value when it is part of a continuum, when it changes over time, has dynamics, and resonates with other sound and with other sensory experiences.
		The degree to which sound is eventually able to participate in storytelling will be more determined by the use of time, space, and point of view in the story than by how often the script mentions actual sounds.
		Sound may be the most powerful tool in the filmmaker’s arsenal in terms of its ability to seduce.

	Why Is That Thing Beeping? A Sound Design Primer - Boxes and Arrows
		Historically, sound has been used in everything from animal communication to computer-human interfaces to warn us that something bad is about to happen: a loud sound warns you that you’re about to be squashed by a garbage truck, for example.
		Sounds that are not intended to be warnings most often resemble what we consider culturally to be musically pleasant.
		Sound effects of this nature are often assigned to the relatively benign role of affirmative feedback.

	Science Project
		Sound comes from the vibrations in molecules, and is always traveling through a substance, whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas.
		For example, the intensity of a sound 100 meters away from the source is one-fourth as intense as it is 50 meters away from the source.
		Sound decreases 3 to 4.5 dBA as the distance from the source is doubled because of objects that deflect the sound, and because sound also gets weaker as the distance from the source becomes greater.
