Sound velocity and attenuation measurements of liquids (e.g., methanol and ethanol) agree very well with those reported in the literature. The sound velocity in the biological materials studied also agrees with the reported values in the literature. In contrast, the attenuation coefficients measured for biological materials, 2000-5000 dB/cm, are much higher than would be extrapolated from published low-frequency data.
