Welcome to another page full of my opinions. Although I find it fascinating that the music we like is subjective when, theoretically, we should all agree on what sounds good and awful. The eardrum, or tympanic membrane, is made out of a thin and circular layer of tissue. When we hear sound, the membrane vibrates and these vibrations travel to three tiny bones inside your middle ear. These vibrations are converted into electrical signals which our auditory nerves carry to the brain and finally, in a few tenths of a second, we are able to process whether the noise around us make us want to dance or gouge our eyeballs out. Do our eardrums vibrate slightly differently therefore we interpret sound differently too? If you’re a scientist or just happen to know the answer, please do get in touch because I can’t wrap my head around it!
