This video shows that through the resonance of the sound waves, different visual patterns are presented with sand. Different sounds act on the sand to form different patterns, which makes me want to try to visualize the sound.But because of the limitations of the conditions, I chose to use another method to display sound waves, which is also a manifestation of the power of sound.

Method：

First of all, I collected some common sounds in my life and used the help of waveformer to draw the sound waves.Then change the color and shape of the sound wave on Inkscape, and finally make an animation in Harmony based on the fluctuations of the sound.

Respond：I think this is a very interesting attempt, which allows me to explore the playability of sound.But I found that the process of generating sound visualization is a bit complicated. It may be interesting to make an app to get the corresponding visual animation directly while inputting the sound.There is a problem that I found in the process of collecting sounds. I can't guarantee that I only receive the sound of a single object. The power of the sound is too strong. It spreads widely, and because the human ear can only receive the sound of a certain segment. Even if I can't hear the other sounds, it will still have some noises.
