Do electric guitars make noise?
An electric guitar creates its sound through the pick-up. A pick-up is a set of small cylindrical magnets set directly below each string. The guitar string itself is made from magnetic metals, so as it vibrates, it tugs and pulls on the magnetic field at the exact same frequency as the vibration.
