Sound Track.

Permanent Exhibit

Sound Track.

Discover the science of sound in the Muller Family Sound Track. Step inside the Giant Guitar to see and feel how your favorite riffs are made. Be mesmerized by our very own George Rhoads-designed Sound Machine or tip toe quietly through QWuiet Quest to test your stealth skills. Take control of the Reactable—part digital DJ table, part futuristic instrument—or step into Foley Studios to create your own sound effects for a movie clip. Whether loud or quiet, musical or mathematical, play your way through the science of sound.
