Show Why Sounds Vary Syllables ending in "ng" are the most difficult for human ears to grasp, while those with "s," "w," and "y" apparently are the easiest These conclusions have been reached through recent scientific Investigations, says Popular Science Monthly. In tests with a large audience In an acoustically acoustical-ly poor auditorium, only 48 per cent caught sounds such as "ting" and "bong," while from 00 to 100 per cent were right on sounds like "wis" and "yox." The sounds "d," "b" and "th" made a poor score. |
