Show Why Sounds Vary Syllables fending in "ng" are the most difficult for human ears to grnsp, 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 onught sounds such as "ting" and "bong," while from 90 to 100 per cent were right on sounds like "wis" and "yox." The sounds "d," "b" and "th" made a poor score. |
