SONOMETER - Basically sonometer is defined "it is an instrument which is used to measure the sensitivity of hearing.

Sonometer is consisting of a wooden rectangular hollow box, and a uniform wire attached to one end while the rest end of wire is passed over the horizontal edges.

A sonometer which contain wire of length of 50cm is vibrating in fundamental mode with a frequency of 100hz.
