An ultra sensitive microphone will, however, detect many sounds to which the ear is quite incapable of responding. When these sounds, reproduced by a sensitive microphone, are amplified, however, they may be listened to quite normally. For instance, very few .people realise that a lly, in walking across a sheet of paper, makes quite a big noise. The tick of an ordinary watch, when magnified, resembles the beat of a liner's engines. An ultra-sensitive microphone lias been designed and constructed at 4QG, and will be used in conjunction with an amplifier. Some sounds we usually "don’t hear” will be reproduced, amplified and then broadcast. A running description of the experiments will be given during the transmission. 10.0: From the studio, “Tlie Daily Mall” news; weather news.
