A spark sound was generated in the canine bronchus and sound waves were observed on the surface (skin) and on each layer (pectoralis major muscle, intercostal muscle and parietal pleura) of the chest wall. The sound wave observed on the surface of the chest wall was 5-10 ms in duration, 400-500 Hz in dominant frequency and 0.6-1.2 ms in the duration of the initial deflection. Reverse dispersion of the waves, i.e., the later components of the wave having longer periods, was also recognized. These characteristics of the wave were similar to those of time-expanded wave-form of crackle, i.e., discontinuous adventitious lung sounds, in clinical cases. Both the spark sound and the sound wave observed on the visceral pleura were of short duration, being 0.7 ms and 1 ms, respectively. therefore, the main component of the sound wave observed on the chest surface was considered to reflect the physical properties of the chest wall itself. The analysis of place relationship within the chest wall suggested that transmission of the sound across the chest occurred not as a surface wave but as a longitudinal wave, therewith traversing the chest wall directly from the sound source. The arrival time of the sound was well correlated with the distance between the sound source and the positions of the pick-ups on the surface of the chest wall. Assuming that the medium between the source and the lung and in the chest wall were 71.5 and 29.6 m/sec, respectively. Further studies will be necessary to clarify the theory of the sound transmission through the living tissue as a viscoelastic body.
