That's some pretty dry sand! I've also experienced something similar to this in Dunes Park Florida. When you run on the sand on a particularly dry day the sand will "chirp." I can only describe it like dragging a pencil eraser on a table and getting the pencil to vibrate from it.

Following a sandstorm, "hollows" between Dunes can fill with powdered sand as fine as Talc. This can be very dangerous as I knew a couple of Americans that actually "drowned" in such a powdered sandpit .

It is only the sand skibbling against itself, like when windscreen wipers skibble when they are dry.

@LeizyDaHusky 2 года назад

It's not a prank lol. The sounds were produced by collisions between grains of sand that caused the motions of the grains to become synchronized, causing the outer layer of a dune to vibrate like the cone of a loudspeaker, producing sound.
