sound production
Creating audible vibrations
Sound production is the creation of audible vibrations, whether through vocal cords, musical instruments, or mechanical devices.
In biology, it refers to how animals generate calls, songs, or other noises—birds through their syrinx, mammals through their larynx, insects by rubbing body parts together.
In audio and music contexts, sound production encompasses the technical process of recording, mixing, and engineering audio: She studied sound production at film school.
