Interesting! I hadn't looked at this in quite a while, and you're probably correct that professionals have analyzed this in depth. Internet says surface seismic waves travel at 2.4 miles/sec, thus would arrive 11 sec earlier than the air wave, so it's probably not that. I just listened on pretty good spkrs, and the quiet bang sounds mechanical, like a ringing CLANG-a-lang. Enjoy the starship launch feb/mar 2023!
@xeeded Жыл бұрын
It's more complicated than you're imagining, especially in sandy soils and sediments. Although I'm not familiar with the geology of Cape Canaveral, the seismo-acoustic arrivals likely went down at a fairly steep angle and (only partially) reflected back up off of a deep bedrock structure, not unlike the way seismic surveys hunt for oil and gas deposits. The steep coupling angle of the seismic energy can be likened to the "critical angle" complications from Snell's law. Any waterborne part of the path is slower than 1 mile per second. Sound speed in sand, and probably any sedimentary rock like limestone, is also slower than through heavier, more solid igneous rocks. As for the nature of the sound: (a) the seismic path filters the "sound" and, (b) the microphone in the camera probably clips and can't really do justice to the airborne shock wave. When I listen to the early arrival I hear two separate bangs, with the first sounding like a slap on the side of a metal home heating oil tank and the second being a somewhat more muffled and bassy version. When I listen to the detonation at t=10, I also hear a secondary (reflection?) which could potentially be mirrored in the seismic channel.

Quiet bang @ t=1.5s First flash @ t=6.5s Big detonation @ t=10.0s I'm gonna suggest that the quiet bang before the flash was just an "early arrival" of the big detonation, a seismic-borne precursor, arising due to that sound traveling partially along a faster seismic (and water-borne) path before refracting back out into the air. The quiet bang appears to happen before the initial flash, making it seem suspicious, but that's only because the audio was delayed by ~12s. If we add the 12s back in, then we find that the quiet bang actually arrives at the camera about 3.5s after the flash for the big detonation occurs, which is entirely plausible for acoustic energy (the shock wave) propagating through 2.4 miles of soil and water. The louder airborne sounds just takes a little longer to get to the camera, due to the much slower sound speed in air. They've undoubtedly figured that out by now, but that's far less interesting than the initial mystery.

"Eco mode - When no pollution is detected for 30 minutes, the fan will automatically stop to save energy consumption. So this special feature will help cut down electricity cost."
