Wind Chime Tube Resonance (2D)

Interactive 2D wind chime simulator: hanging tubes ring at their real free-free bar frequency f = C / L² as wind gusts swing a central clapper into them.

Sound & Music2DModerate60 FPS⇄ 3D version

A side-view wind chime simulator with six hanging tubes of different lengths, a central clapper that swings with the wind, and real free-free bar acoustics: each tube's fundamental frequency follows f = C / L², not the string formula. Drag the wind-gust slider to trigger random strikes, or drag the length slider to hear and see how frequency responds to the square of tube length.

⚙ Under the hood

2D companion to the 3D wind-chime simulation: several hanging tubes of different lengths, each tube's fundamental frequency computed from the real free-free bar formula (f ∝ 1/L², not the simple string formula), a wind-gust slider that randomly triggers tube-clapper collisions, and a tube-length slider showing the L² frequency relationship live via Web Audio decaying sine tones.
