Tooth Tunes Kit
Model Number: MTW-13
The Tooth Tunes Kit is a hands-on acoustics apparatus designed to demonstrate the principles of sound induction and conduction through solid materials. Micro Technologies supplies the kit with wooden rods and the necessary audio connection components for transmitting sound vibrations through the teeth and jaw. During an experiment, a participant gently bites a wooden rod while an audio signal from a suitable radio or other compatible source is applied. Mechanical vibrations travel through the rod and are conducted through the teeth and surrounding structures, allowing the sound to be perceived. The complete kit includes activity materials for five participants along with an instruction manual, making it a convenient package for practical investigations of vibration, sound transmission, and bone-conduction phenomena.
Product Specification
The Tooth Tunes Kit provides a practical way to investigate how sound vibrations can travel through solid materials and be perceived without relying solely on the conventional airborne sound pathway. The apparatus uses a simple wooden rod arrangement to demonstrate the transmission of mechanical vibrations through the teeth and jaw.
During the activity, a participant gently holds or bites the designated wooden rod with the teeth. An audio signal from a suitable radio or another compatible source is connected to the experimental arrangement. The changing audio frequencies create mechanical vibrations that are transmitted through the rod.
These vibrations pass from the wooden rod through the teeth and surrounding structures toward the hearing system. The experiment provides a direct demonstration that sound can propagate through solids as mechanical vibrations rather than only through air.
Micro Technologies supplies the Tooth Tunes Kit with activity materials for five participants, allowing multiple users to perform or compare the experiment using the supplied components. This makes the kit convenient for group laboratory activities and repeated demonstrations.
The apparatus can also be used to compare ordinary airborne sound with mechanically conducted sound. Such comparisons provide useful observations about vibration transmission, material conduction, frequency, and the different pathways through which sound can reach the auditory system.
An instruction manual is included with the standard kit to assist with experimental setup and correct use. The simple arrangement requires minimal preparation and can be incorporated into broader investigations of sound, vibration, acoustics, and conduction.
With its hands-on configuration, multiple activity components, and straightforward demonstration method, the Tooth Tunes Kit provides an engaging and practical solution for investigating sound conduction through solid materials.

FAQs
What is the Tooth Tunes Kit used for?
The kit is used to demonstrate how sound vibrations can travel through solid materials and be perceived through conduction involving the teeth and jaw.
What principle does the Tooth Tunes Kit demonstrate?
It demonstrates mechanical sound conduction and vibration transmission through solids, providing a practical comparison with conventional airborne sound.
How is sound transmitted during the experiment?
An audio signal produces mechanical vibrations in the experimental arrangement. These vibrations travel through the wooden rod and are transmitted through the teeth and surrounding structures.
Why is a wooden rod used?
The wooden rod acts as a solid medium for transferring mechanical vibrations from the audio arrangement to the participant.
Is an audio source required?
Yes. A suitable radio or other compatible audio source is required to provide the audio signal used during the experiment.
Is the radio included with the kit?
The standard kit description specifies activity components and an instruction manual; the external radio or audio source should be arranged separately unless specifically included in the ordered configuration.
How many participants can use the kit?
The standard Tooth Tunes Kit includes activity material for five participants.
Can different audio frequencies be investigated?
Yes. Different frequencies present in a suitable audio signal can be transmitted through the experimental arrangement, allowing comparative observations.
Does the kit demonstrate bone conduction?
The experiment demonstrates a form of mechanically conducted sound in which vibrations are transmitted through the teeth and surrounding structures toward the hearing system.
What precautions should be taken during use?
Components placed in contact with the mouth should be clean and hygienically managed between users. Participants should bite only gently and should not use damaged, sharp, or splintered rods.
Is an instruction manual included?
Yes. An instruction manual is supplied with the standard kit to support correct setup and experimental use.
Can Tooth Tunes Kits be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply bulk quantities for acoustics laboratories, physics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, distributors, and institutional projects.
