What causes the buzzing sound that mosquitos and bees make?

Question

just curious....it seems unlikely that their wings would be moving fast enough to make a noise like that, but i could be wrong!

Answer 1

their wings from moving so fast

Answer 2

Well their wings move very fastly and that makes the buzzing

Answer 3

rudimentary hind  wings.

Answer 4

Its there very tiny little wings they flap their wings really faster

The frequency of a mosquito wing is about 600 times per second. Frequency is the number of cycles of a repeating process per unit time. same is for house fly

Answer 5

The buzzing you hear is actually the the wings flying by at a high frequency.

A practical explanation would be to take a ruler 1' or 30 cm and hold it tightly with your palm, with the 5 cm (or 2") mark touching the edge.. and 'strumming' it... compared to the ruler at 25 cm or approx 11"... and you'll find it's the same way as a mosquito (with even SMALLER wings than the ruler!) :D  flies by, making a high pitched noise. :)

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure that the rapid beating of thier wings makes the buzzing sound.

Answer 7

The vibration of their wings.

Answer 8

Actually, it is there wings. They flap at rapid speeds that make that noise.
