Sound source is a term used to describe the origin of a sound. AUDIO, larynx, and OCEAN are all examples of sound sources. AUDIO is a sound that is produced electronically, such as music or a voice recording. The larynx is an organ in the throat that produces sound when air passes through it, such as when speaking or singing. OCEAN is a sound source that is created by the movement of water, such as waves crashing against the shore.
