Why does a guitar produce such a loud sound but when strings detached from the body produce very little sound?

Correct answer: D. Resonance in the soundhole allows for amplification of the voice

  • A. There is a microphone attached near to the strings and a speaker connected to it amplifies the volume
  • B. The tension in the strings is especially higher so it produces a louder sound
  • C. Special kinds of strings are used which enable a louder sound to be produced
  • D. Resonance in the soundhole allows for amplification of the voice

Explanation

Sound-hole, a hollow chamber, is an essential component of stringed musical instruments, and enhances the sound radiation in the lower octave by introducing a natural vibration mode called air resonance.
