If you think about it, you’ll agree, right? You may have never noticed it, but when it snows, there is one silence envelops.

The structure of snowflakes Several factors, including ambient temperature, tell us about this situation. Let’s look at the answer.

Snowflakes act as natural insulators thanks to the air spaces within them.

When they fall to the ground, they stick together and form one snow cover They create. This cover absorbs and disperses sound waves. So snow works just like sound insulation material. insulation effect, It ensures that ambient noise decreases and a quieter environment is created.

Snowflakes reflect and scatter sound waves in different directions due to their irregular shapes.

Normally, sound waves reflect and echo when they hit hard surfaces. However, snow cover minimizes this reflection. This makes sounds less audible, especially in noisy areas such as cities. Basically, while it’s snowing, the sounds around us are kind of to be sucked and its reflections diminish.

Cold weather also affects the speed of sound propagation.

At low temperatures, air density increases and sound waves travel more slowly. This situation, sound propagation distance It becomes shorter and therefore ensures that sounds are less audible even at closer distances. If we consider that it is generally cold when it snows, this factor seems like an additional reason for silence.

If you haven’t noticed before, when winter comes, enjoy the snow You can also extract it with silence. We already miss those days, right?
