It definitely doesnt work that way, if anything im noisier because i dont realise im making noise.

True, I'm about 150/75% deaf (no hearing in R ear & can barely hear in L. Need volume above the safety limit or max depending on sound quality.) When I'm not wearing a hearing aid for too long I gradually increase my voice until I think I sound normal and forget that certain things make sounds. Sometimes I think I'm being stealthy but others already know I'm in the room. But yeah I do agree that deaf people aren't making it unless we weaponize our hearing aids or have an instrument that hits the right pitch. (At least communication is our advantage with ASL + "free" weapon. Hearing aids are expensive with & without insurance.)

[@ShadowQuickpaw]

Here's the thing though: They go after wildlife too. The racoons near the beginning get axed relatively quickly, and its established that the DAs aren't hunting for food. They just reflexively destroy anything that's too "loud" to them. I can imagine they 'tried' to stop things like waterfalls or thunderstorms, but since there's nothing they could do they just learned to avoid those places since it would make them "go blind," so to speak. The long and short is that while there is little they could do to deal with things like swarms of noisy bugs, Earth's ecosystem is about to go fubar regardless.

as a musician, I can say this: grab two mics and two amps, plugging one mic into each, then take a dog whistle or helmsman's whistle, piccolo etc. and play it into one of the mics, quickly making sure they are picking up everything from each other's amp. This will literally create a theoretically infinite loop of gradually louder volume and pitch if the amps have... well, amplifiers in them. So no average speaker would be okay, you must have an amp. Theoretically, because at a certain point your ears just wouldn't hear it or would be too damaged to hear it. Bring ear mufflers probably.

When the trigger is pulled and a bullet flies through, the supressor from my understanding basically muffles the smoke which in turn decreases the sound it produces. Supressors supress the noise, it doesn't silence it. Adding a suppressor for example to a handgun like an M1911, If you pull the trigger, the sound will still produce a loud sound, just not as loud as it normally is. It highly decreases the sound, but doesn't mute it.

[@tylerbremer6696]

Fun fact death angels dont go after ambient noise (things that would theoretically always exist, or come as a defined pattern) such as birds singing or waterfalls. So if we apply this to the situation, you could set up areas of loud noises you would want to train the death angels into thinking is ambient noise, set up a big area with loud speakers that the angels cant break to play construction or distant conversation. It might take a couple of days per each angel but its gotta be better than having to do what they do. This might also work the other way, want a death angel hunting dog? Simple, train one that has had "ambient training" by playing the noise you want them to hunt; and when they attack the speaker turn it off giving the illusion that what they killed is dead.

[@tylerbremer6696]

To add more to this, the reason they dont go for ambient noise is because they did, and could not stop the noise. Birds flew out of range, waterfalls keep flowing, and trees keep rustling. Thus my hypothesis of them being trainable (also mattpatt they do rely on more than just sound, just like how we rely on more than the core 5 senses. The movie shows us that they also have a sense of space, balance, touch?, and time. It is hard to tell if a movie creature reacts to touch unless a scene shows it reacting to it, and I personally do not remember a scene in which one is touched that it also was not relying on hearing do do something.)

I am an audio engineer, I am impressed that they have that level of detail in the movie, because the natural noise floor is about 40 to 50 decibels... so they can't hear you below that because that is just idle sound in the air. The noise floor is when we can't crank sound any louder, because you start getting background noise. Also, feedback loops can be at multiple frequencies at once, normally it is just one though.

Honestly surprised that MatPat concluded that the reason they shook was because the sound matched the reasonant frequency of the armor. As a physics student, I've worked with reasonant frequencies a lot, and even when working with pipes and stuff (which are not attached to vibration absorbing flesh), you need a lot of energy to cause things to shake like they do in that scene. You would not see vibrations of that scale caused by the sound produced by the implant, it's simply not possible, there is too little energy involved. Ironically, the theory he brushed aside initially is much more plausible, that there is some neurological response to those frequencies (think nails on a chalkboard for humans).

[@itsd0nk]

My thoughts exactly. If it was a resonant frequency effect, the girl's skull would have exploded from that amount of amplitude lol.

[@thedbdentity2102]

True but they are high levels of hearing could make it where the resident frequencies are much lower

[@Jsterman23]

@@thedbdentity2102 increased hearing sensitivity doesn't have anything to do with reasonant frequencies; it's not hearing the frequency that causes that reaction (according to MatPat), but the fact that the frequencies literally shake their bodies (or more specifically, their armor plating). Imagine you're pushing a kid on a swing. If you push at the right time, the kid swings higher and higher (up to a point). If you push too fast, the kid might be swinging into you when you push, so you actually slow them down, or the kid might not be there when you go to push. Same thing if you push too slowly. The exact right time to push is basically the reasonant frequency of the swing. The same idea applies to the armor of the aliens. The sound has to push at exactly the right time to add energy to the system. Now, think about if you pushed the kid on the swing at the exact right time, but you push super lightly. The kid's not going to go anywhere because of friction; the energy gets absorbed into the chain of the swing or the kid. Same thing with the armor; if the amplitude (or "loudness") of the sound is not high enough, the flesh underneath the armor will simply absorb the energy and the armor won't vibrate. The sound simply has to be really loud to cause the armor to vibrate like it does in the movie, and thus MatPat's theory is implausible at best.

[@ikarenn8460]

@@Jsterman23 This is incredibly interesting. You're saying that even when the girl shoves her implant into that microphone, it still wouldn't work? Theoretically, if you grabbed that implant and amplified it with a megaphone, would it work or would the megaphone somehow warp the frequency?

[@Jsterman23]

@@ikarenn8460 there is a possibility it would work were it amplified by the speakers there, yes. However, since it couldn't harm them at such low power the aliens would have just heard the noise from her implant and been like, "oh, there you are," both of them dead, end of movie. They wouldn't have even lived long enough to even know that it was a weakness. Another way to think about it is bass in a car. If the car has big speakers and a subwoofer, you can get the car shaking if you listen to something with a lot of bass. Now imagine trying to do that with an earbud. You probably can't even get the earbud itself to vibrate, let alone your whole body. And yet that's more or less what MatPat is claiming in the video. To answer your other question about the megaphone, it would amplify the noise and it wouldn't affect the frequency, so it might work. I'd still question if there's enough power to vibrate the creatures armor, but it is about 1000x more probable than the implant itself vibrating the armor from across the room

As an ASL major props to the people making this movie. The ASL was fairly accurate to my understanding, (I think I’m not 100% sure) they used real Deaf actors (a huge Deal for the Deaf community) they clearly showed a respect for Deaf Culture, and they even addressed topics that most people wouldn’t pick up on like the lack of acceptance for the daughter being Deaf by refusing to believe the cochlear can’t be fixed. That being said he is also an amazing dad in the movie because of his willingness to sign even before the events that took place to force into asl, which sadly most hearing parents would rather sit and have their children never know what they are saying then learn to communicate with them in a language they prefer and can understand.

I have been involved in Deaf culture and learning ASL for the past 6 years. That being said take what I say with a grain of salt as I am hearing and will never truly know how it feels in the Deaf person’s shoes. Audiologists and Cochlear implants are highly disliked not only because of the lack of education for ASL, but also because surgically implanting something into your head in hopes that you won’t be Deaf anymore is the definition of trying to “fix” someone. culturally Deaf people are proud of their hearing loss and at a Legal level it is considered a disability but culturally it is just a different way of life with a culture and everything.

I wonder if the aliens could somehow shift and change their carapace structures somewhat in response to a resonant frequency being triggered. As a sound-based species, I don't think it's too wild of an adaptation to have evolved.

One thing to add to the considerations is, different materials and environments have different accoustic properties. Some matierials absorb and silence sounds very well while other materials transmit and even amplify sound. Sound has a different range in a concrete jungle to in a forest. Also, different frequencies have different fall-off speeds. I can neve remember which way round it is, but I believe lower frequencies travel farther but have a much faster fall off curve than high pitch sounds. Also, what about normal animals? like birds, hedgehogs, crickets? Are they attacked or do they count as "natural sounds".

I think another pretty easy way to survive AND live "normally" would be living in a place like Singapore, where apartments that go as high as 40 levels, some even having sky gardens that you can harvest crop from. If you don't have a sky garden, ALL apartments have a storage room that can house at least a tiny garden. If that's not enough, transforming apartments at levels 10 - 15 should be sufficient as you'd want to live at level 25 - 40. Not too safe at 10 but not putting yourself into as much danger compared to going to ground floor. Almost all apartments have a corridor with two places a death angel can climb up the stairs(unless they learn how to use an elevator which the power would be out anyway) so putting sand on the stairs would be a pretty good call.

yes, sound does travel faster at night. sound is just particles vibrating, and when a particle vibrates it usually bumps into nearby ones and causes it to vibrate as well. so during the day, when it is warm the particles in the air will be less dense and therefore farther away from each other which means that the particles will not bump into others as quickly as they would in cold air (cold air is more dense, the particles are closer together and has the opposite reaction to warmer air). idk if that makes any sense but I explained it best I could

They don’t seem to eat their prey, nor do they visit water sources to hydrate. So what do they live off of? And why do they hunt humans if not for food? If they can identify artificially made noises, would that not mean their home planet has similar characteristics to ours? How do death angels distinguish their sounds from humans? Unlike humans, death angels don’t take measures to be quiet. So how do they know if the crunching of leaves are humans and not one of them? How have the death angels been traveling and where are they throughout the movie? The only times we see death angels is when someone makes noise. So where are they the rest of the time?

Fun fact for resonant frequency, it's behind likely ALL ghost stories involving old haunted houses. Those old pipes vibrate at frequencies so low, humans can't hear it, but your pets are likely losing their collective shits and barking at the walls and corners. The vibrations also effect humans since we're like 70% water and specifically have an inner ear that's still sensitive to those vibrations despite not hearing them. It messes with our balance, can make us hear things and even see things and gives you the feeling you're being watched. Lots of paranoia... and where does it effect you the most? In the basement where the pipes are exposed. All you need at that point is a rat or raccoon to shift in the darkness and you have yourself a ghost/demon since your mind isn't functioning correctly. Newer homes have modern building materials that don't vibrate like that, so no ghost stories in newer houses.

As a clarinet player we can go even higher when we squeak. Like if you go to the highest high note which I’m pretty sure is the number you showed in the frequency range, and you squeak with that note you can go a lot higher. I’ve tried it and it gave me a really bad headache for a day at least

ASL interpreter here. Another danger of night time is, it is difficult to communicate in sign language when it is dark. ASL has specific hand shapes, facial expressions, and movements that are hard to catch in the dark. That is why if you've ever seen an ASL interpreter, interpreting in a dark theater they also have a spotlight.

[@AzimuthPrime]

Let's not forget the first Tremors movie, that went with the whole "must be quiet" thing before and did it rather well, not saying either or is better just what I was reminded of when seeing Quiet place. Only major difference was the scale as Quiet place is world wide and how later on Tremors went from horror to jump scare and threw in humor to mix it up. Maybe both species are related? As Tremors 2 had them adapt to hunt above ground and even develop heatvision.

Technically speaking the monsters on Tremors didn't hear more like they could feel vibrations. Even if you didn't make a lot of sound they can feel a step on the floor. The people couldn't even stay in the floor of their houses because they could locate them by the steps. I say this because they have no problem resisting high level of noise like explosions or gun shells. I remember a scene were they tried to gain the attention of one by screaming and it wasn't as effective so they open a water gate and the water hitting the floor did the trick.

Probably depends on what the ground is made of. Solids can actually conduct sound waves pretty well; it’s why the old tin can on a string trick works. Metal would be BAD for blocking out sound. Dirt would probably work better?

6:21, literally cover it in a rag to make it quieter, one hand on corn and one hand on rag, not hard. The real issue isn't them being uncaught growing corn, it's growing the shown amount while doing it all by hand with just a few people; so there's still a point here

[@Adan11961]

i also believe that in addition to dB level the frequency and sound type recognition play a role. Such an advanced apex predator must have evolved the ability to differentiate sounds. The sound of wind rustling through leaves or objects is ignored as background noise. Meanwhile, snapping of twigs/dry leaves, especially if in a rythmic manner indicates movement that is not random. The frequency range of human voice/screams animal chirps/sounds must also be attractive to them as well as anything completely unnatural or differential from the regular surroundings. The toy for example will emit noises so different than the usual forest sounds that it must be a creature.

The fact that somehow these monsters were able to take over despite acoustic weaponry existing since at least the 1950s is the major flaw of the movie.

I mean this is just a movie... this the same thing like saying Godzilla wouldn't exist because would just die under own weight or to have natural armor that protect from bullets.

[@neonbunnies9596]

It's The Mist situation. We know from the second movie that where our main characters live was literally ground zero for the monsters, and we don't know the position or state of the military. They've could've fallen with no centralized control or could just be miles away from them. We just don't have the information to determine where is military is

[@Nikkosunshines]

It’s not about the tech existing it’s about the people with the know how surviving long enough to figure this out. I would t jump at the opportunity to make a acoustic weapon noise at the creature who reacts to noise. Even Matt had the safety of his home to test and measure sounds, play sounds online, and access people who have made sounds. The biggest flaw is how anyone made or distributed any of those newspapers lol

[@Insanerobert44]

There's also 2 factors to be included in regards to day/night cycles and season changes: - 1: during daytime, there's also a lot more background noise being produced in nature, so it's easier for a sound to be dispersed and covered by natural sounds -2: in the night and during winter time there's less natural noise being produced and it's easier for artificial sounds to be diffuzed in atmosphere; also snow during winter can produce sounds on short distance when you walk trough it, but it will also absorb sound on longer distances since it works like a soft material and will dissipate any sound propagated trough snow so it can behave like a double-edged sword Another aspect to be taken into account is other natural sound sources that humans could use as cover from the Death Angels, like rain or the sea/ocean side. And my final thought on the 50dB limit: it might be wrong. Even if the sound produced by whipsers and other elements are under this volume, if the monster is smart enough to distinguish natural sounds from prey then you're screwed. There's plenty of animals in nature that can distinguish movement and call sounds from prey - like the owl - to hunt with great accuracy.

[@endercreeper6091]

about the sound differentiation, i think they are still figuring things out, sure they got the waterfall thing, probably the wind and leaves too, so they can easily asociate an area to a noisy thing there's nothing to do about and whispering being a wind leaf thing

An interesting theory me and my friends actually came up with is that they use an adapted version of echolocation to find people, in the sense of the use the frequency of sounds made by people bouncing of the surroundings to find them

[@NorbertCsecs]

Yeah, I like this more tbh, Matpat here kinda just went with the idea that it must have been the sound’s frequency that did that to the alien, but I always thought it was just because it was loud and unnaturally high pitched and caused a sensory overload, not disintegrate him on the atomic level, it’s not even 1 specific frequency. It kinda makes it a different deal because it makes it so pianos might not work, because they’re not loud/unnatural enough etc.

[@couththememer]

@@NorbertCsecs but you gotta admit, his theory is even more crazier

[@zackbuildit777]

@@NorbertCsecs I mean, high pitch literally means higher frequency, so if it’s a high pitch that causes problems, it’s a high frequency too
