The Koenig Sound Analyser (c. 1889), made by Rudolph Koenig in Paris, is one of the first tools to show sound in motion. It has flames that grow and shrink, reacting to sound waves. In the late 1800s, the Sound Analyser introduced students to a new way of studying sound. It made it possible to analyze sound in real-time, using one’s eyes as well as ears.

If you want to see the Sound Analyser in person, it’s on permanent display in the Sound by Design exhibition at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa: https://bit.ly/377aNkU
