How does the tambourine produce sound?

The tambourine produces sound through the vibration of its membrane and the jingling of its jingles.

When the tambourine is shaken or struck, the membrane vibrates and produces a sound. The vibration of the membrane is caused by the movement of air molecules. As the membrane moves back and forth, it pushes and pulls the air molecules in front of it. This creates a sound wave that travels through the air and can be heard by our ears.

In addition to the sound produced by the membrane, the tambourine also produces a jingling sound. This sound is created by the jingles that are attached to the frame of the tambourine. When the tambourine is shaken or struck, the jingles collide with each other and produce a jingling sound.

The sound of the tambourine can be varied by changing the way it is played. For example, the tambourine can be shaken, struck with the hand, or even played with a drumstick. Each different way of playing the tambourine will produce a different sound.
