- Title
Acoustics: Chuckle vision.
- Abstract
The article discusses the difference of the acoustic properties of laughter produced by congenitally deaf and unimpaired people in New York. The comparison has been based from the clips of films of congenitally deaf volunteers, including "Mr. Bean" and "The Naked Gun," which was presented by Maja Makagon of Cornell University, Ithaca, and her colleagues. Moreover, it has been observed that the quality of sound was remarkably similar, however, differences were spotted more in the shapes of sound waves.
