Also mildly interesting is the difference in the L/R waveforms. Taken from the end of a Danny Go song.

The sound of the whip is more or less a direct translation of the movement it makes in the air. It is the same for string instruments. The movement of the string looks the same as its waveform.

Analog audio is analogous.
