</ref> This causes sound input of a certain frequency to vibrate some locations of the membrane more than other locations. As shown in experiments by Nobel Prize laureate [[Georg von Békésy]], high frequencies lead to maximum vibrations at the basal end of the cochlear coil, where the membrane is narrow and stiff, and low frequencies lead to maximum vibrations at the apical end of the cochlear coil, where the membrane is wider and more compliant. This "place–frequency map" can be described quantitatively by the [[Greenwood function]] and its variants.
As vibracións orixinadas polo son viaxan como ondas ao longo das membranas, ao longo das cales, nos humanos, están dispostas nunha soa ringleira unha 3.500 [[célula ciliada interna|células ciliadas internas]]. Cada célula está unida a un diminutio armazón ou marco triangular. Os "cilios" son diminutos procesos situados na parte superior das células, que son moisensibles aosmovementos (estereocilios). Cando a vibración da membrana abanea os marcos triangulares, os cilios destas células son desprazados repetidamente, e iso produce corentes de pulsos que se envían polo nervio auditivo.<ref> Beament, James (2001).

The [[outer hair cell]]s feed back energy to amplify the traveling wave, by up to 65 dB at some locations.<ref>
