If your kids or teens are learning about sound, I have something that will help you out. It’s a list of apps that will help you teach various aspects of the physics of sound.
The interactive apps in this list are designed with kids in mind. I think your children will enjoy them.
The other apps are geared more towards older learners although children may enjoy experimenting with them too. They include audio signal generators, decibel meters, and oscilloscopes.
