if you put a bat in the room (or any other animal that uses echolocation) would it not be able to detect the walls?

@celfbanditten7728 7 лет назад

You do realise that Bat's are not blind right? People think they are but they actually see quite well.

@ineedaname5928 7 лет назад

Bobo24 What happens if you put a blind bat into the room?

@y0ugi256 7 лет назад

a bat in a room.... A batroom !!! (bathroom

@AVTAVT 7 лет назад

Of course it would I think you've missed the point, the idea of this room is that every sound is louder because there isn't an ambient noise. The bar would be able to detect the walls even better

@cuijaalbino 7 лет назад

AVTAVT you dont get it m8, the walls absorb the sound waves making the noises coming from the bat unable to bounce towards him again

I wonder if you put your arm on the glass plate would you be able to hear the blood rushing through your veins

@gabecoolwater4497 2 года назад

I don't know why, but I love snails so much. Just as much as I love dogs! I actually have a pet snail that I rescued from the supermarket lettuce I bought. Almost freezed to death, the poor thing...

@4bidn1 2 года назад

this video game me a crazy nostalgia moment for the first time i put my ear up to a can of coke and heard the carbonation rising to the surface and popping, what a magical moment it was a child to realise that something so small and seemingly simple still makes a noise

@lachlan1971 8 лет назад

I heard a slug "walking" across a polystyrene fast food container last night when I was out with my dog. It was actually quite loud because the polystyrene acted like a loudspeaker due to its rigidity and very low density. Most of the vibration would be absorbed by the glass. I heard it from about 15 feet away.

@zyrlsvlogs4159 7 лет назад

@stephenrowe3079 2 года назад

Slugs like to eat polystyrene, too

*Sneaks up behind them and smashes the glass with a hammer*

@pietrosammarco6225 11 лет назад

Just a thought: sound describes relationships between things... these sounds (like all sounds) aren't just "the sound of the centipede", but the sounds of the centipede walking on a glass plate in an anechoic chamber, through a contact mic at distance X from the centipede, through the mixer, through my PC speakers in my bedroom, etc... one long resonance... "the sound" doesn't just live inside "the centipede"

@virunee 12 лет назад

That. Is. SO AMAZING! Love it when Chris tells Jem to stop breathing so loud, haha.

@inrodu_1027 2 года назад

you can actually hear snails eating without a powerful mic and room! you just need a reasonably quiet room and something crunchy for them to eat. i have videos of my snail eating apple slices where you can hear his radula scraping against his food. you can also feel them scrape food if they let you hold it up to their mouths

@ethanvander-westhuizem9848 3 года назад

“Now we must be very quiet to completely hear these sounds” “Wow simply am-“ “I CAN HEAR IT EATING ITS DINNER MATE, AND THE CRUNCHES OF THE LETTUCE SIMPLY AMAZING RIGHT”

@liamnguyen7272 5 лет назад

Snail: would you mind? I'm eating right here.

@CristalCody 11 лет назад

Snail is like "Om nom nom nom" That was pretty cute.

@RoboticusMusic 6 лет назад

You can actually hear this stuff outside of a chamber. If you know what silverfish are you can hear them eating, same with snails, they're actually reasonably loud.

@Thorkell6969 7 лет назад

IVV pets yeah it's weird i heard a snail eating salad once

@dannydevito4333 6 лет назад

Wow mega hearing

@oooanickel 11 лет назад

Great experiment, great sounds! I loved the maggot sound. Interestingly enough, I was sitting on my couch one day and a snail was crossing the vinyl window on the other side. It had some friction at one point, so you could hear the squeak made by opposing forces. I might try the experiment again with different surface materials, smooth glass isn't likely to provide much resistance, but other materials would likely produce a sound.

@kkje3463 3 года назад

When he say don’t breath i do to hahaha

@ghostgory 9 лет назад

Did anyone else see the one maggot escape?

@MrVanDay 12 лет назад

Am I the only who stopped breathing for a moment as well? lol

@micecdnwo 11 лет назад

Yes it is, there's less spectrum wavelengths in that room than in space. I don't see a gamma ray in that room. And the x-ray level seems pretty safe, so yes this room has less radial spectrums flowing in it.

@breannathompson9094 7 лет назад

RU-vidrs need this for optimal audio quality. Sell em as like regular insulated foam you can stick on the walls lol.

@emilioKeka 5 лет назад

I’m curious as to what would happen if you had someone go to meditate in there for an hour, and purposely put high quality speakers playing quiet nature sounds. What would the persons experience be like then???

@mustafamalik4211 7 лет назад

Lol, goes to the worlds most quietest room to test what? MAGGOTS?

@inthefade 11 лет назад

A surface that has more resistance, or texture, might produce different results. Still quite cool.

@TimpBizkit 7 лет назад

From 1 metre away the slithering snail would probably go into the negative dB range.

@tanshere792 4 года назад

my guy really just said stop breathing

@mykidneyjustruptured3875 7 лет назад

This would make a great asmr

One time I fell asleep and left a foam plate in the bathroom sink of my hotel. I was awakened my some strange crackling sounds in the mid morning hours only to find a colony of ants gathered picking at tge gravy bits and chicken sauce that sank into the plate. It was sooooooo loud that it woke me up
