What are sonic experiences?

Sonic experiences are the way sounds make us feel and react, like when music makes you dance or a loud noise startsle you.

Sounds are vibrations that travel through air (or other things) and reach our ears. When we hear them, they can be fun, scary, calm, or exciting, these are all parts of sonic experiences.

Imagine you're on a roller coaster. The ups and downs make your stomach feel funny, and the loud "whoosh" as it goes fast makes you laugh. That's like a sonic experience, it uses sound to create feelings inside you.

Now think about when you listen to your favorite song. It might remind you of a happy memory or make you want to sing along. That’s also a sonic experience, the sounds around you are making your brain go "Hey, this feels good!"

Every time you hear something, like rain tapping on the window or your dog barking, that's part of a sonic experience too. They’re all about how sound makes us feel in our everyday lives.
