42、 but many of todays sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound. Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the offi

48、the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining.
