Most powerful sound?

[kejk]

Thunder.

+1

[-dubson-]

a super nova

...doesn't make any sound.

it does, you just can't hear it

No atmosphere to make sound vibrations in = no sound.

ok if your going to be that anal

Lol thats not really anal. Its fact.

[Ennayess]

binaural beats

What are you meant to hear with that? All I heard was the tone.

[jugo]

this!

[Shae]

That reminds me of that russian radio that no one knows about, but it plays now and again, fuck knows, it was posted a few months back if i recall...

[feral witchchild]

I think JLIAT's recordings of nuclear explosions are the most powerful thing I've heard to date.

[jugo]

these?

thanks for prompting me to get searching - would never have even heard of it otherwise!

i was meaning that the sound a supernova would make
just humour me

[jugo]

would that be louder than a god fart?

[hackman]

doubt it

[-dubson-]

Lol at god fart, gonna start using that term..

Ok shit... That is weird.

What's with the bloop awareness all of a sudden, it gets posted everywhere I go lately

[jugo]

maybe it's an underwater god fart?

i came across it linked to a link i found in here about aural illusions the other day.

boxes in boxes in boxes and all that....

Just to be geeky, a supernova would create sound. Sound is merely a series of patterned compression and rarefactions of molecules (ie waves). As long as the density of molecules is sufficiently high enough for these waves to propogate, you have sound. If you were to stick an ultra heat resistant microphone into the Sun with a really long heat resistant wire to a pair of heat resistant speakers in a nearby spacecraft that wasn't open to vacuum, you'd hear sound. The sound of a supernova would carry outwards until matter from the supernova became rarefied enough that sound waves could no longer propogate.

The most powerful sound is clearly...

...BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!! I HAVE THE POWER!!!!

top post!

but hang on, wouldn't that only work on beings that were receptive to that frequency range?
are we talking loudest to humans, or in relation to some universal scale of 'loudness'.

plus the fact that gravity and therefore space time probably play some sort of role in this. near a massive body the heightened effects of gravity would cause distortion of how the wave sounded relative to the listener surely?

*starts drooling and shuffles off*

[kay]

Sure, it might be affected by gravity, the wave might propagate a bit slower and time would be slower. But because you would never hear it in any other way, it'd be the natural sound of the sound

I think that if you were to be located close enough to a supernova to hear what it sounds like, frequency range would be the least of your worries.

Links to the old tree in the forest proverb.

Is sound technically a sound if you can't hear it..

[kay]

Deaf people can't hear sounds.

[-dubson-]

they can feel them though..

[kay]

Exactly! Same argument!
