    Damage Sound

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential for sound waves generated by hammering in a closed room to damage objects, specifically DVD discs and plastic items. Participants concluded that the decibel (dB) level produced by a hammer is insufficient to cause physical damage to these items. The conversation also touched on the effects of moisture within cardboard boxes and plastic bags, but ultimately determined that sound waves, even at high volumes, do not pose a risk to the integrity of DVDs or CDs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sound wave physics
  • Knowledge of decibel levels and their effects
  • Familiarity with material properties of plastics and DVDs
  • Basic principles of moisture absorption in packaging materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physics of sound wave propagation and resonance
  • Learn about the effects of decibel levels on various materials
  • Investigate moisture control techniques for storage of sensitive items
  • Explore the impact of environmental factors on the longevity of DVDs and CDs
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in acoustics, storage solutions for media, and anyone concerned about the effects of sound on physical objects, including collectors and archivists.

I was inside a closed room and I used a hammer in wood and metal, the noise and sound and sound waves generated by the hammer beating may have damaged and cracked objects and DVD discs that are inside the same room?

Only if you hit them with the hammer... :wink:

If the hammering was so loud that it ruptured your eardrums, shattered your windows and knocked pictures off your walls, maybe but still probably not.
 
this caused resonance q damaged and cracked items inside boxes? what is the physics explanation for my doubt? itens of plastic material and dvd discs in the same room

Your obsession with questions like this is not healthy. This thread is likely to get closed just like your last one in December...

cardboard box absorbs moisture and will it sweat moisture?

plastic bag holds moisture and it will also sweat moisture inside the cardboard box?

if this occurs is it bad for the storage of the disks that are inside the box?
 
i'm not talking about cardboard box and humidity I'm talking about sound waves through the air
