Hi
Wolfgang Christian and I have an electronic book for iPad with simulations and sound samples for teaching the physics of sound at the introductory level: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/sound/id1194175298

Kyle,
- Do you have a section on human hearing and a treatment of how today's
ordinary sound levels of bands, earbuds, lawnmowers etc can cause (usually
only) bits of permanent hearing loss with each exposure.
- For example, a 15 minute exposure at 100 decibels will cause a little bit
of permanent hearing loss in a healthy adult. This is the level at which
adjacent persons begin to become unable to converse unless they yell at
each other.
- We do include one experiment on human hearing for our non-STEM physics of
music course.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Page 270 seems buggy on my Mac. When you click and drag it seems to select
a portion of the figure, but it really changes the pitch and amplitude.
Not very intuitive.
