Extreme Sounds Science Project
Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help coming up with a hypothesis for my Extreme Sounds science project. It is a project in which I make decibel readings and although I understand the concept of the project I am having some trouble thinking of the correct hypothesis for my project. If I could please get some help I'd be very thankful.

Re: Extreme Sounds Science Project
Hi there,
The idea of measuring the strength of sounds is a cool thing to measure. However, the problem is that you don't have a question.
It seems like you want to use the decibel readings of different sounds as your dependent variable. Therefore, you would have to be looking at different factors that might affect the strength of a sound. Does this sound right?
If so, I would start thinking about things that change sounds. Maybe being in a room with carpet vs a room with hard wood floors, etc. Or you could test if there is a linear relationship between sound strength and distance from a sound. To get you started, I'd start thinking about what influences sound and how you could test some different conditions that may give you different decibel readings.
Hope that helps to get you started.
