Can you talk faster than the speed of sound?

Can you talk faster than the speed of sound?

If your travelling at or above the speed of sound, can you hear yourself or others talk? Actually, so long as you aren’t travelling with your head sticking out of the plane (which would be a very bad idea), you can hear just fine. This is because the air in the plane is moving with you.

Can you hear anything if you traveling faster than sound?

At supersonic speeds (those greater than the local sound speed), there is no sound heard as an object approaches an observer because the object is traveling faster than the sound it produces. Only after the object has passed will the observer be able to hear the sound waves emitted from the object.

Can humans survive traveling at the speed of sound?

No. However, many humans have broken the sound barrier using different methods of transportation, such as fighter jets (like the F-16), rockets, and even a whip (which is why you hear a loud ‘crack’). The speed of sound is only 767 miles per hour (343 meters per second for you non-Americans), in dry air.

What happens if you travel faster than the speed of sound?

If you are travelling faster than the speed of sound, you are in a plane or rocket and the air in it is not moving.

Can you hear a sound when you run?

Sound is the interpretation of compressive waves in your ear. If compressive waves can reach your ear, you hear them. If you run away from a source faster than the compression waves travel, they can’t reach your ears and you can’t hear them. But as you run, you might run into other compression waves and you’d hear them.

What is the frequency of the sound we make while talking?

Talking involves making sounds of a whole lot of different frequencies, but for the sake of simplicity let us assume you are making a sound of constant frequency 3300Hz (as i)it is easily divisible by 330, the speed of sound in air and ii)Your friend can hear it)

Can you hear inside a supersonic plane?

You can still hear – and have a conversation inside a supersonic plane – but you can not hear whether you’re traveling at a speed higher than that of sound. Yes, if you ever pilot a supersonic jet airplane, you will find the terrible vibration and feel the heat from the friction of air on the plane.
