Taste - Our tongue can detect only four basic flavors.

1.  Sweet - detected at the tip of your tongue
2.  Salty - detected at the front sides of your tongue
3.  Sour - detected along the rear sides of your tongue
4.  Bitter - detected across the back of your tongue

See, Feel and Hear Vibrations – When something vibrates or shakes very, very quickly, it makes the air around it vibrate too. Also, sounds make vibrations that you can feel and sometimes see. We hear a sound when vibrations travel to our ears. Vibrations can be reflected (bounce back) like light.
