An interactive, explorable web tutorial explaining the physics of sound waves, waveform graphs, and their relation to music and harmony. Built as a purely front-end React application using SVG/Canvas rendering and styled-components.
Use cases
- learn how sound waves work interactively
- understand waveform graphs and harmony
- study an example of interactive scrollytelling built with React
- see how to animate waveforms with SVG and Canvas
- find a beginner-friendly introduction to audio physics
When to choose
- you want an accessible, no-prerequisites explanation of sound waves
- you are looking for a reference implementation of interactive React visualizations with spring physics
When to avoid
- you need a production audio-processing library or DSP tool
- you expect active maintenance or external contributions, since it is a personal side-project no longer the source of truth
