title: Sonic Adds Sound to Logo, Recamán, Chaos
---

<div class="content"><!--introduction-->
<p>I introduced Sonic in my <a href="https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2024/11/16/lights-camera-action-and-sound">blog post</a> last month. Today I will use Sonic to add sound to the graphics from three old posts, the vibrating L-shaped membrane, the Recam&aacute;n sequence and the chaotic behavior of the Swinging Sticks.</p>

<p>For almost fifty years, I have wanted to <i>hear</i> the MathWorks logo. I have written about the L-shaped membrane many times, <a href="https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/tag-team/Objects/t/72943_92021v00Cleve_L_Shaped_Membrane_Nov_2003.pdf">link #1</a>, <a href="https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2014/10/13/mathworks-logo-part-one-why-is-it-l-shaped/">link #2</a>, <a href="https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2014/11/17/mathworks-logo-part-four-method-of-particular-solutions-generates-the-logo/">link #3</a>.</p>

<p>
<a href="https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/files/L_membrane.mp4">Click on this link</a> and listen to the audio in a Sonic movie of the vibrating membrane. The sound is generated by resampling one tone from a xylophone.</p>

<p>And here is one frame from the movie.</p>
