Hello, music sheet person!

In some dreams (or actually more dream-like experiences like sleep paralysis and DMT trips) I've heard some incredibly loud sounds, it felt like somebody was tearing the world apart. Somewhat terrifying when it happened, but also wonderful to be able to experience such extreme sounds without destroying your ears :D

Just found this…. And subscribed. Probably less interested in “synth stuff” but the deep dive into science was so done much better than most media outlets…. You handle technical issues without dumbing them down OR getting boring… pretty rare… keep it up!

One thing that really struck me about this video is what an amazing job you did recording your voice so that it sounds consistent in different environments. The first few scenes were quite jarring as I was trying to figure out if you'd recorded your voice indoors and were miming outdoors, but then decided that was silly. Super interesting video - thanks for making it.

My favorite sound factoid has to do with rocket launches. The pads at Cape Canaveral have these MASSIVE water pump systems on them that flood the launch pad with thousands of tons of water as a rocket takes off. Not because the heat from the exhaust of the rocket might melt the concrete, but because the "sound" is so loud that it would actually liquefy the concrete just from sheer pressure waves if there wasn't that much water present.

clarification I thought would be helpful: "decibels" is a generic magnitude term, the typical implication and I think the one benn meant through most of the video was decibels of sounds pressure level, dB SPL. sound pressure level is a formally defined measurement of pressure amplitude. another you see a lot is decibels full scale, dB FS - that's what's in your DAW; 0 means "maximum displacement" in that context.

The two loudest sounds I've heard were the Concorde at Heathrow Airport in the UK and the SR71 at Paine Field in Everett in Washington state. I was inside a plane on the taxiway when the pilot announced that Concorde would be taking off next. I plugged my ears and felt my chest and the plane rattling. I'm thankful I wasn't outside like I was for the SR71 years later. Not only did it take off, but it did a "dirty" fly-by with the gear down and then a faster one with gear up. My whole body was rattling and it felt like someone was standing on my chest. I could barely breathe, but I still screamed with the enthusiasm of a little kid.

If we go that theorethical route, you'd probably need air at a much higher pressure or at an unreasonably high frequency to get your "black hole pressure" wave. I'm guessing high enough frequency to have "sound black holes" would mean extreme energy consumption for subatomic sized waves with significative gravitational interference, so I'd rather go with higher pressure atmosphere. In that case, it would work much like water, increasing the maximum dB level up to a limit. Wonder what that limit could be.

Hi Benn, been watching your channel for about a year now, and love your aesthetic and attention to detail. Fun to watch and very informative. I have an idea for a future video: tinnitus! I have it in one ear after an unfortunate accident with feedback and have found little information about possible cures. I see on reddit that there is a bunch of research being done but haven't found anyone that can do an up to date synthesis of all of this information. I always thought of it as a "modern" ailment, but this video made me realize that humans have been exposed to loud noises for much longer than the modern era.

I think the more interesting point to realize from this is that a microphone and a speaker is the exact same thing, except you run the circuit the other way. In a microphone, you have a diaphragm that's vibrated by the air and is attached to a magnet. The magnet moves and induces an electrical current that is recorded electronically. In a speaker, you have a current running through that induces an electromagnetic field, which moves a magnet attached to a diaphragm and vibrates the air.

I mean dude the 12:00 you make a super cool artistic choice to record your voice by the loud stream..so cool. You executed on it well, thanks again man so stoked for this video.

This is both informative and hilarious. When you did the experiment of the sound getting "louder" I heard my tinnitus (or what sounded like it) flare up for a second and had to pause and cover my ears only for myself to play the video and explain how my perception of volume is dogshit. I knew the first one with distortion was really quiet so I knew it was going to be an experiment, but it still kind of hurt a little bit. Just a thought here maybe this is a part of your point, but at some point when you keep adding energy to the source or the pressure wave, eventually it will convert into heat energy, and eventually light energy. As the energy increases, it enters new fields, which change it from sound to heat to light, but everything from the smallest lepton to the most complex black hole is all the same thing of differing degree, and we are somewhere in the middle of all these waves, surfing on a giant ocean we call the universe. Did I get that right?

@TimpBizkit

I plugged in headphones to see if his close to the microphone voice was more SPL than the distorted "150dB" and "185dB". I think the peaks were slightly more although the distortion spreads over more sensitive frequency ranges and puts more average energy into the sound.

I had this as a test question in college. The author of that test got it wrong as well. I'm glad to see a few of the commenters are thinking outside of this box. Those solar flares you mention at 2:10 are WAY louder than 194 decibels. And for that matter, so is the typical ambient noise on the surface of the sun. And that is definitely not the loudest source of sound in our universe.

Really well done!

That was genuinely fascinating. Cheers.

this is just awesome xD love that humour of yours

Very interesting. A warning at 7:24 that the sound will be (perceived) louder would have been nice. Shocked me a little bit.

great video man . Very entertaining and informative.

Another sound science topic I'd love to see covered: Why does music sometimes sound slower when running?

Or lifting heavy. When I go heavy on the bench or deadlift songs definitely slow down.

i think the pain and exhuastion of running makes you much more aware of the time thats passing

My guess would be, Its due to blood pressure rising from exercise causing a tiny slow down in how we hear sound or the speed which our brain can convert what the ear drum is telling it to it actually registering.
