sonometern.

Brit.

/səˈnɒmᵻtə/, U.S.

/səˈnɑmədər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: sono- comb. form, -meter comb. form².

Etymology: < sono- comb. form + -meter comb. form².In early use in sense 1 partly after French sonomètre (1698 denoting an instrument with vibrating strings, used to produce a note of known frequency: E. Loulié Nouveau sistème de musique ou nouvelle division du monocorde..avec la description et l'usage du sonomètre; 1801 denoting a more complex version of such an instrument, invented by B. Montu (compare quot. 1802)).

1. Any of various instruments chiefly used to study or illustrate the relationship between the length of a vibrating string and the musical note it produces. Cf. monochord n. 1.Sonometers have been devised in various forms and with different numbers of strings. A common version consists of a soundboard or resonance box with two strings, one of which can have its effective vibrating length changed by means of a movable bridge or fret; the strings are sounded simultaneously to compare the notes they produce.

a. Any of various instruments capable of producing sounds of known or measurable volume. Now historical.Practical applications of instruments capable of producing sounds of known volume include testing and measuring acuity of hearing. One of the most prominent of these instruments, the sonometer of David Edward Hughes (1831–1900), was originally devised as part of an apparatus for testing physical properties of metals (cf. quots. 1879, 1901, 1980).
