Why is it so hard to pinpoint exactly where some electronic beeping sounds are coming from?
In: Physics
When something makes a noise it projects loose sound waves all around it. Sound waves is essentially the physical particles in the air vibrating which gradually get wider and wider, making it difficult to pinpoint the location. The closer you get the sharper the noise. The vibrations can break up a lot when they hit physical barriers like a wall or even clothing.
