Decibels investigation

Last week we took decibel readings at different distances from a sound source and this week we’ve been playing African drums as part of our Music lessons.  Which musical instruments do you think could make the loudest or quietest sounds?

    🙂 I’d say drum actually, but the electric guitar can be quite noisy too. I enjoyed that experiment (well, all the talking and writing since I did chairs!) 🙂 🙂 🙂

    🙂 I think a really big drum would be loudest.

    I think the drum would be the loudest instrument. I can’t think of the quietest.
