Why does paper make noise when it is crinkled?

Question

I bought stuff in a thick Ace Hardware (brown paper) bag. While removing things there is noise. Now, tell me WHY for goodness' sake? I cannot make a fabric bag make noise? I know why my hands clapping make noise, but the bag is merely paper. . .and nothing is whomping it? So why the loud noises of paper? Thanks is advance.

Answer 1

First, noise must be understood. noise is the vibrations something makes. so, obviously, the ace hardware bag doesn't vibrate as much. A good example is a big person vs. a little person. It is easier for the littler to move. So, to answer your question, paper is thin, therefore it will create more vibrations (noise).
