Balls of Sound

While thinking up ways of visualising sound that was outside of waves and visual distortion, I pondered the concept of expanding/pulsing balls. After quickly scanning the internet to look at the behaviour of sound, I came across this visualisation by ColorSimply. This isn’t necessarily the behaviour I had conceived, as I was pondering an idea which involved sound passing through the wave forms and bouncing off of impassable objects, but it’s interesting to find this commercial take on idea of sound as balls.

This is an interesting angle on visualising smell, which is harder that more tangible sense (sight, sound), but I can’t help feel that the visualisation in more infographic that documentarian.
