The sound machine falls under the genre of science fiction. The story has an amateur scientist, Klausner, who believes that there are sounds that are so low pitched or so high-pitched that one can’t perceive them and he invents a machine where he can convert odd inaudible sounds to an audible frequency in order to hear them.
