Sound energy converted from sound waves that vibrate the air to physical vibrations that you can feel. While any powerful deep bass tone, when played at a high enough level, can be felt, tactile "sound" goes a step further by going straight to the feeling sensation and forgoing the sound aspect. A traditional speaker, such as a subwoofer, creates vibrations in the air. These waves of sound enter our ears and are translated by our brains into audible sound. But anyone who has been near a plane taking off, a semi-truck rumbling by, or any number of other phenomena knows that sound can be felt as well as heard.hy can sound be felt? Because, quite simply, sound is merely vibration of a certain frequency, and a vibration by definition is movement and of course movement can be felt. The idea behind tactile sound is to draw in the listener by enabling him to feel the sound in addition to hearing it. In a home theater system when a bomb goes off you hear the deep bass energy and it may even flap your pants just a bit, but it's nothing like being there in the flesh. A tactile sound transducer changes that. The transducer is essentially a heavy subwoofer driver that attaches to your chair, sofa, or floor, but instead of creating sound it transmits its movement directly into your seat so that you truly feel the bass. When the bomb goes off, you don't just hear it you feel it! Tactile sound brings the sense of touch into the home theater experience to augment sight and sound.
