RE: Let's talk about the phenomenon of sound / Generation
Hello, @rbalzan79.
Interesting article.
But I must tell you that I disagree with the example you used as an artificial sound generation.
Why is it considered artificial? Why does it come from a man-made object? That part was not clear to me.
What I can contribute to your post is that sound is the product of a release of energy.
Energy, as we know, is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed.
Therefore, when we speak of sound, we refer to waves of energy that travel through the air and are captured by our eardrums or tympanal membranes.
How were these waves generated? What was its origin?
I would consider artificial origin a sound coming from a digital electronic device or something like that.
The song of a bird is of natural origin.
Even if an avalanche is generated and rocks fall off a mountain spontaneously, that would be of natural origin. When we vibrate the strings of a guitar, a natural sound is produced.
It is my humble opinion.
Have a nice day.
Great contribution that you share with us, where it is important to emphasize what you express:
Interesting concern my friend, before delving into this concern it is important to emphasize again that sound is a wonderful phenomenon that originates through vibrations or oscillations, that is, only when the component particles of a certain body or object manage to vibrate or oscillate is when they give rise to longitudinal sound waves of pressure which carry the sound from the source to a receiver, and this is done when it propagates through a certain material or elastic medium as the mixture of gases that constitute the air or any liquid to solid medium.
In relation to the above it is important to express that the sound can be considered of both natural and artificial origin, and this aspect is linked according to the source of generation of the sound, therefore, when we talk about natural sounds we can say that they are those that come from our nature as the wind, waterfalls, the sounds that come from animals such as the example that very well you express us as it is the song of a bird, in the same way are natural those sounds that we humans emit when we speak, sneeze, laugh, cough, among others, however, when we manipulate some type of instrument or artifact created by us and we stop emitting a natural sound, for example, when playing a trumpet, we stop emitting a natural sound.
Therefore, artificial sounds are considered to be those that come from the different artifacts or instruments designed by our ingenuity, such as vehicles, telephones, household appliances, musical instruments (such as the strings of a guitar), the flexible antenna of the rustic vehicle of our example, among many others.
Thank you very much for your interesting contribution and exchange of ideas because this is how we can build any kind of learning through healthy feedback, many successes and many blessings to you and your family.
In order to deepen in the concern raised I will share some links as they allow to go deeper into the subject raised.

Oh wow, brother, thanks for that excellent answer!
I'm honored that you took the time to come up with this great comment.
I had forgotten that sound also travels through water. In fact, when I have gone to sea, I have had the opportunity to dive and it is possible to hear the sound of the motor of the boats.
The examples of natural sounds that you have exposed are fully illustrative. I totally agree with you.
I sincerely appreciate that you have prepared this didactic answer for me. Many thanks.
God bless you and your whole family. Hugs!
Thanks to you brother @juanmolina, for taking the time to read my article and share your excellent point of view, greetings and we continue reading, and also many successes and blessings to you and your family.
