Research on the Oscillation experiments

There are various experiments related to Oscillation— the very basic property of sound wave.Oscillation means moving back and forth.Normally the oscillating wave has three key attributies,they are:

1,Frequency  /  Rate,repetition for time units
2,Amplitutde
3, Phase / be shifted from one direction to another

A bunch of audio-visual experiements can be found that focus on the variation of oscillation frequencies for motion elements:

John Whitney’s Music Box is probably the most famous one: http://whitneymusicbox.org/

Memo Akten’s ” Simple Harmonic Motion study” series are fundamental animations with oscillating dots by coding:

There also physical installations can be found to present the concept of oscillation,for example:
