look at this

raucous cheering at the moment of synchronicity

i just want them to hit the bottom

Ok. *Hits you*

When they synchronize, both in sound and image... Mwah.

What if silence is in fact a sound, but because its a universal sound we just adapted to it and dont notice it anymore

I actually just wrote a paper on this!!

The short of it is, yes, that's exactly what happens. There's no such thing as pure silence outside of a vacuum (and inside a vacuum you'd be dead). So basically your ears are constantly adapting to the noise threshold of your surroundings and slowly ignoring it. If you were in a perfectly silent room (anechoic chambers are cool!) you would actually start to hear the sound of existing!

In film class we learned that you need to record the silence in a room for at least two minutes or so and save it before you start shooting there. This is called "roomtone" and is done so you can put it into every bit of artificial silence later- if your editor decides it's best to cut the sound so there will be a longer gap between lines of dialogue, for instance, the artificial silence in between will sound weird to the viewers and break their immersion, because it isn't the silence of that room as they're been hearing it so far.

Room tone is also useful to overlay if you need to re-record any lines later or that kind of stuff, I think, but. I didn't listen THAT much in film class

This is pretty much why active noise cancelling works too!

I recall reading about a performance of some kind whose first "sound" involved a sudden, heavy, oppressive silence, and they arranged that by artificially creating a noisy roomtone---before the performance started, before people were coming into their seats even, the speakers were already outputting a soundscape of white noise, electronic hums, air vent noises, et cetera, so when the audience was all seated and the performance started, the sudden cutoff of all the existing noise made a major contrast that got everyone's attention without so much as a sound.

I mean, ok, so there are chambers where there isn't anything emitting sound except for you, but you'd eventually start only hearing your breathing and heartbeat and stuff... But is there a way to eliminate that as well and just hear like, only air movement? Except for you know, deafening yourself.

THX Just Shared the Original Sheet Music for its ‘Deep Note’ for the First Time

thanks i hate it

how dare you i love it

I can hear this image and I’m crapping myself as is standard

Can you imagine a choir singing this and how chilling that would sound

The whoosh is in D Major!

It got better: in a capella (please make this guy famous, his talent is unmatched)

i just played the video and my cat sat straight up and looked like she’d seen a ghost

Oh my god

Thanx.

Unmute !

Even without unmuting you can get what's happening.

Alien-like chatter of the world’s deepest lake as photographer shares eerie sounds of newly-formed ice. Alexey Kolganov films himself skating on transparent ice of lake Baikal, as new cracks form under his skates

Bro that is literally nature telling you to stop

Lake Baikal is just like that

always something new with this fucking lake

I step off whenever I hear a tiniest crack on a metre-deep lake, this is fucking Baikal. Cool sounds though, and also I would probably do that because I'm also stupid and reckless.

UNMUTE

Okay @paketdimensioncomic this is what irken hissing sounds like!!!!

mweeEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHblrblblblblblblblb..l....b,...bul...
