Wonderful animations for new acoustic students.  First section great for CSD students.  Would love more hemholtz and tube resonators!

This site is geered to people with a serious interest in sound waves. It did not appeal to me as much,but the information was good. And I believe in the arena in which it is used its won a lot of acclaim.I did bounce around the site for awhile.

Technical Remarks:

Visually, the site was not as colorful as I imagined it might be. The information is extensive and well laid-out. I did however like the Rayleigh surface wave visual the best, very realistic looking.
Time spent reviewing site: I was on the sight for 15 to 20 mins.

This is a well organized site with animations that were relatively rare at the time of the site's first publication (c. 1999). However, I currently favor similar resources that include interactive components (e.g. http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14e/).

Technical Remarks:

Although the site's content and links are verified and updated regularly, the interface has not changed since the site's creation and could use an overhaul.

This site is an okay site.

Technical Remarks:

i spent about 5 minutes browsing this site. it is okay but i didn't find it too
interesting. i think it is easy to follow but it assumes that you know too
much.
