Today's rambling are about sounds. Now before you get in my nose hairs about having already written about sounds, let me tell you a story? I was watching a TV show called "Weird..or What?" and in this particular piece they talked about something called " the bloop" . The bloop is a sound some scientists discovered using military hydrophones. According to this show, it was the loudest sound known to man because it was recorded in three different parts of the ocean. Skeptics say it's a blue whale and roll their eyes. But when compared to actual blue whale "song" it turns out it's not even close. So this odd sound in the pacific ocean remains a mystery. Here is the sound..... Bloop
This sound was never repeated. A one time occurrence. Me being me I wondered what other sounds our oceans hold beyond whale songs, dolphin play and rolling waves. We've heard that age old question: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound? Well what about icebergs? Off to the google gods I went......
The answer is YES! And what a sound they make! I found a few audio files that knocked my socks off. This precious marble we inhabit is alive with all sorts of sounds.
Ice Fishing Sound In this video if you look at the water in the hole, you can actually see the water bubbling as the sound seems to get closer
Then of course I started wondering what else makes sound? During an art experiment someone hooked sensors to a variety of house plants and then connected the sensors to a synthesizer and what we hear is.... Plant Music Stalagmites and stalactites also make music Luray Caverns
When we stop long enough to realize that every living thing is capable of vibrational sounds, it should radically change how we think about the space we share with every living thing!
Carry on........
