The Sound Site is part of the Sound Project, a partnership between the Science Museum and the Minnesota Orchestra. The site's purpose is to present activities, discussions and multimedia explorations about sound, both from a scientific and artistic perspective.

Because the site uses sound, to have the best experience, be sure you have your computer speakers volume adjusted to a nice level. We have a sound below for you to test your volume.

Some sounds and multimedia on this site require plug-ins. We have chosen the plug-ins most likely to already be on your web broswer, plug-ins that are the most popular on the web, such as Real Audio and QuickTime. We have created a plug-ins page where you can download all the necessary free software to enjoy the entire site.
