Noise pumping

Imagine you're playing with a balloon. When you push on the balloon, the air inside moves around and creates a noise. It's like squeezing a bottle of ketchup - the noise comes out when you apply pressure. Noise pumping works a little bit like this.

In music, noise pumping is when the volume of the sound fades in and out to the rhythm of the music. It might sound like the music is getting louder and then quieter, almost like someone is turning the volume knob up and down.

But how does it work? It's all about the beats per minute (BPM) of the music. The beats are like the heartbeat of the music - they give it the rhythm and timing.

When noise pumping is added to the music, the sound is set to fade out a little bit during the quiet parts of the music. But when the beat drops and the volume increases, the noise is pumped back up quickly to create a sudden burst of sound. It makes everything feel more energetic and exciting.

You might hear noise pumping in dance music, like electronic dance music or techno, to make the music feel even more intense. So next time you're dancing to your favorite music, listen carefully for the noise pumping and feel the rhythm of the beat!
