Are you ready, Carlos?

Almost!

Carlos? Was it...supposed to sound like that?

NO WAY!! I don't get it! It looks incredible!

Stupendous! But it sounds...

''Ploopy''?

Exactly! What did I do wrong?

Wow! She's amazing!

That's one way to look at it. . .

Good morning, class!

Good morning, Ms Frizzle.

Dorothy Ann, I take it that was your new piece

Concerto for Invented Instrument?

Well, it was the concerto part, all right, but...

but the Invented Instrument was ploopy!

And there's almost no time to fix it before the

concert at the Sound Museum tomorrow.

Yeah, and we've got our rehearsal there this

afternoon.

So, what's the problem, Carlos?

Well, I have a great idea for a sound --

Ooh, and I see you're building an impressive

instrument to make it! Marvelous!

That's the problem. I can hear the sound in

my head, but...

Ploopy

What am I going to do?

Well, if you keep asking questions, Carlos,

you'll keep getting answers.

But there's no time for questions, Ms. Frizzle.

We're going to be late for the rehearsal at the

sound museum.

And, as we all know, those who are great are

never late!

Come along, class! To the bus!

We're going? Now? But... but... Ms. Frizzle.

But what if the sound of Carlos's instrument

stays...just like that?

Oh, our concerto will be ruined.

All the other schools will laugh at us and it'll

be the end of the world as we know it.

Other than that...nothing.

What else can I put on this thing to get it to

make a terrific sound?

Let's see...Okay, there!

If only I had more TIME!

More time...Okay, bus, do your stuff!

An award winning performance bus!

Oh no!!

And now for the grand finale!

What happened?!

Not to worry, class. I'll just be a moment.

Oh dear...

Just as I thought. Overheated. I believe we'll

be here for a while.

We're going to miss the dress rehearsal?

Now rest up. You'll be fine.

All right! Time to work on my sound.

Ms. Frizzle, isn't there something we can do?

Well, now that you mention it...

It's really quiet, isn't it? There's hardly a

sound.

Just us. Desperate. Alone... Vulnerable...

What was that?!

It was me. How was that, Dorothy Ann?

I want my instrument to have the power of a

thunderstorm, so I put an umbrella on it.

That sounded more like drizzle, Carlos!

How about this? I want it to have the roar of a

lion, so I gave it a mane.

It's a kitten, Carlos!

Forget it, Carlos!

It looks better and better, but it sounds worse

and worse!

What was that?!

All right!

That's a great sound!

But it wasn't me. It came from...there.

Isn't it mellifluous?!

That's not exactly the word I'd use for it...

Come on, Arnold! It’s just a house! You're not

scared of a house, are you?

Me, too...

What's wrong with you, class? Where's your

spirit of adventure?

Take chances! Make mistakes!

Get scared out of our wits...

Oh, don't be so chicken, Ralphie!

There must be a phone in there and we can

call a tow truck! Come on!

What a weird place!

Kind of EARy, isn't it? Get it? EAR-y?

CARLOS!

All I've got to say is,

if I meet anybody I can see through, I’m out of

here.

No need to be hasty, Arnold!

That is some doorbell!

Oh well, nobody home. Let's go...

Good idea! I’m with Arnold!

But I need to know what made that sound...

Come on.

How nice! Shall we...?

Must we?

Open! Open! Open!

It's stuck! What do we do now?

We say...Halloo-oo-oo-ooo...!

That sounds friendly enough!

What a place!

We've got to phone for help. Oh, good. Here's

a phone book.

What was that?

That was a tantalizing tintinabulation!

No!! Don't!

Ah! Foghorn. One of my favorites! Such a

big, deep sound!

Maybe one of these books was making the

sound I heard.

That's it! I don't need to know how this turns

out. I’m outta here!

What kind of place is this?

I wonder who lives here...

Lived here, Keesha.

Professor Cornelia C. Contralto eccentric and

collector of sounds.

Born 1807, disappeared 1892!

How do you know that, Ms Frizzle?

Because after she vanished, they turned her

house, this house, into... the Sound Museum!

This is the Sound Museum?

I knew it! We've missed the rehearsal!

Wh...Where is everyone?

Gone for the night, Tim, which means we have

the whole place to ourselves!

Oh boy!

Oh boy...

Professor Contralto devoted her entire life to

sound.

What happened to her?

No one knows...

l bet you anything she's a ghost,

wandering around this house, seeking the

perfect sound...

Ghost?

''...seeking the perfect sound...'' Just like me!

Well, Carlos, you'll have plenty of time to find

it! We're spending the night.

The night? Here?

But our permission slips didn't say anything

about haunted houses!!

Besides, there's no place for us to... sleep!

Why, look. Eight student-sized beds...

...and a teacher-sized annex...

It's almost as if someone were...expecting

us...

Be sure to get lots of rest, class. We have a

concert tomorrow.

Now maybe it'll sound like a ghost...

Carlos, that's the ploopiest yet.

It's too late. You'll never find a sound now...

Cornelia, if you're out there, will you help me

make this thing sound right?

Uh, Carlos? Ms Frizzle said if you kept asking

questions, you'd keep getting answers.

W-w-was that an answer...?

No, but THAT was...

Don't be silly. It’s just... Yikes!!

A CRAZED GHOST!!

BOUND FOREVER IN THE CHAINS OF

ETERNAL TORMENT!!!

COMING TO GET US!!

Listen..it's...it's...

Yeah, yeah. Terrifying. We know.

No!! It's...the call of Cornelia...

Carlos, where are you going??

I've got to find out what's making that sound!

Um shouldn't somebody tell Ms. Frizzle?

Yikes!!

Listen!! It’s getting louder!!

And, according to my research, if it's getting

louder, we're getting closer.

Is that good or bad?

Bad

WHAT IS THAT?

It's coming from in there. I’m going in...

No, Carlos, NO!!

Wow

Incredible!

This is one weird house.

You mean your house...

doesn't have a jungle, an ocean, a city and an

alpine wonderland?

Nah. The landlord wouldn't go along with it.

TIM!

An echo! Maybe it was an echo we heard...

Yeah, but...But who made it?

Sorry class. Did I wake you?

Ms. Frizzle, was that you?

Yes! Nothing like a good yodel before bed!

TOODLE OODLE OODLE OOO!!

Listen! Listen! There it is again! The Call of

Cornelia!

How do we get out of here?

The only way is up!

Come along, class. Two by two, please.

Where are we?

Professor Contralto built every room

in this house to show different things about

sound.

Ah! Simply soundniferous!

Hey! I've always wanted to play a harp!

Look at that string moving back and forth!!

That, class, is a vibration! You can feel it!

Vibration!

Let's get the facts: When the string stopped

vibrating, the sound stopped...!

The vibration of the string -- THAT'S WHAT'S

MAKING THE SOUND!

Very good, Carlos! Sound is vibration! Hear it

- feel it!

Are ALL sounds made by something vibrating?

Good question, Carlos!

Come on, Phoebe! Let's try out that drum.

There's your answer, Carlos.

So I've got to make my instrument vibrate to

make my sound. But how?

As I always say, behind every successful

sound is a vibration!

What's happening?

Now what?!

YOW!

Can I look now?

Hey, it's showtime!!

Why the glasses?

You heard sound... you felt sound... now...

Carlos? What is it??

I CAN SEE SOUND!

Watch this!!

Look at me!!

Listen!

Hey, they're different!

Yeah! When you sing...

Look! There are lots of vibrations close

together.

But when you sing...

there are fewer vibrations, further apart.

Excellent! High sounds are made by

something vibrating fast...

And low by something vibrating slow...

You know what? These vibrations move kind

of like ripples on a pond...

The waves start in one place and move out in

all directions.

If sound is a vibration and it moves through the

air in waves...

And different types of vibrations make different

sounds!

Stop the vibration, you stop the sound.

I've got it! It doesn't matter how my instrument

looks - as long as it can VIBRATE!

DA, I know what to do! I've got to get my

instrument!

It's gone!!!

Where could it be?

There's an explanation, class. The question

is, What is it?

First Carlos's instrument disappears... then

each of us.... one by one...

There's that sound again.

It's coming from in... here!!

Carlos! Are you all right?

I’m fine! I’m just in some sort of dungeon or

something.

Well, if they torture you, don't tell them

anything!

I'll learn to be a laeyer and meet you back

here when we're grown-ups!

This way, Arnold!

let's go!

Coming Arnold? We're waiting.

I think I should've stayed home today...

Thanks, Ms Frizzle.

Don't mention it, Arnold.

Well, Carlos. You got us into this. Any ideas

how to get us out?

Listen

Where's it coming from?

It's hard to hear exactly. Wait here!

It's coming from along there!

He...he can't go down there alone!

You're right, Keesha! Why don't you go with

him?

C'mon, you buncha weasly wimps!! Let's

follow Ms Frizzle...

You can see the soundwaves bouncing off the

walls. There...from there...

From there!

Sound waves bouncing... I bet that's how an

echo is made!

Those soundwaves are travelling THROUGH

that door!

Good observation, Dorothy Ann!

Just so long as we don't travel through that

door.

No! We've got to see what it is!

Hello....

It WAS you!

Wait a minute! Is it just me or are you... are

you a...?

Professor Cornelia C. Contralto... the Second.

That is my great-grandmother.

Now, listen. You've got a concert tomorrow,

right?

Are you ready to make your instrument sound

richly resonant

and resoundingly reverberant?! Huh?

How'd she know about Carlos's instrument?

You asked a question...

Let's see...

Don't you mean let's hear....?

Right! To make a sound, I need to make

something vibrate.

My instrument couldn't vibrate because there

was too much stuff on it!

Neither did that. I don't need this, pull this

thing off.

I think he has got it!

Ready Carlos?

Go!

Bravo!! Virtuoso performance!

Carlos, that was the perfect sound!

Thanks, DA...

And so, young man, if it's all right with you,

I would like to add that wonderful sound to my

grandmother's collection!

Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Dr.

Contralto...!

As I always say -- hit it, Cornelia!!

Is it the magic school bus?

Is it the magic school bus?

Is it the magic school bus?

Is it the magic school bus?

Is it the magic school bus?

stay tune with us and be a smart kid

Hello? Magic School Bus.

Hi. Are you the one responsible for that show

on 'sound'?

You might say that, yes...

Well, what's the deal with that house?

I mean, you could never see sound. It goes

way too fast.

Oh, you're right. That's why they had magic

glasses.

I don't get something,

If sound is a vibration, just what's doing the

vibrating?

The air, a sound is made when something

pushes back and forth from the air...

and makes the air vibrate,

this vibration travels through the air to your ear

as a sound wave.

So a loud sound is just a big vibration?

Right! And a soft sound is a very tiny vibration.

And what about our ears? You hardly

mentioned them.

Ears are very important.

They turn sound waves into something our

brain can handle. That's how you hear.

But not everybody's ears work the same, do

they?

My grandmother wears a hearing aid to help

her hear better.

And some people can't hear anything, ever,

even with a hearing aid.

They use their brains with their other senses

to replace hearing.

And another thing...

there are lots of differences in sounds besides

loudness and pitch.

A violin and a saxophone sound very different,

even when they're playing the same note.

True! There are enough different kinds of

sounds to fill the world,

but we only had a half an hour

...and we had to leave room for all those

hilarious jokes.

-Okay. But one last thing -Yes?

About that ghost...

Well, that can't have been true.

I mean, everybody knows there's no such thing

as ghosts...

Certainly not!
