[QUOTE="ALANR, post: 2279162, member: 239596"] Just a thought but as pressure reduces perhaps sound can move more easily but has less ability to travel from vacuum through density(jar) and is reflected instead . Has an experiment been done with a mic in the jar with the bell ? ok, now think differential pressures and the miniscus between pressure differentials(eg waters miniscus). Similar found in double glazing. Sound moves in water but it cannot break the miniscus , the pressure differential is too high. The sealed airspace in double glazing acts as a miniscus to sound. The function of the metronome proves sound is being generated in the vacuum , we just cant detect it yet. If we see the bell oscillating and reproduce the frequency you could say sound travelled at the speed of light. [/QUOTE]
