Snails are actually pretty cute.. I use to keep a bunch of them as pets in a shoe box when I was young. They escaped from under my bed and crawled all over it and up the walls, but they were amazing little critters.

[@angstereo3230]

But it's look like an cute aliens

[@nem3sis.yt_]

The funny thing is, snails actually live pretty great under a bed since its very airy and moisturized bc of the cold air and snails love hiding spots they really are easy pets unless you neglect them in a box not letting them out or feeding them then you are crazy LOL

Snails eating lettuce is actually pretty loud. When I was in like 4th grade, I had some snails like those from school in an aquarium in our garage and you could hear them munching all from the opposite side of the garage.

[@tom_something]

As a matter of fact, in a quiet room, you can hear a snail chewing without special equipment if your ears are in good shape. I had a few as pets (well, livestock that I never got around to eating), and when they had access to cabbage or carrots, I could very clearly hear them crunching away simply by putting my ear near them. It was... cute, I think.

[@Pandamasque]

The centipede sounds exactly like in all the creepy the movies!

I work with blowflies and I can attest to the fact that the maggots are surprisingly noisy. I also used to listen to fruit fly courtship song with a microphone a bit like that, and they sounded like helicopters. The snail was super cute - what does the snail say?? Nom'nom'nom'nom'nom'a'crunch!

[@suruxstrawde8322]

Just imagine, when your dog starts barking at the corner of a wall, they're probably hearing roaches or silverfish in the walls walking around with their little scratchy paws on the wood.

[@ohnahtayyy_]

i have a pet snail, it was actually really quiet in my house once and i heard it crunching on a leaf of lettuce without any tools 😂 it was so cute 🥺

[@suruxstrawde8322]

That makes perfect sense. They use a very slow yet strong conveyer belt-like method of gliding along surfaces. Being covered in the sound absorbing slime they are, it only seems logical they'd be silent for as long as they didn't get hit by anything.

You can kind of hear snails feed without a microphone. Just be very silent. So glad I got my snails and I've learned so much about them.

XD especially considering Blowfly's are parasites that embed their eggs in your skin.

[@ehcopperage]

Abit late but pitching in to say that's more commonly known for a Botfly, not a blowfly. Blowflies are also known as Bluebottles, it's just one of your average flies which feeds on rotting meat and shit. You use the larvae for blowflies for fishing bait.

[@SapphicRain]

+Crocblocked dohh, I mixed those up! thanks.

[@momonomay3011]

my pet snails make cute little munching noises without using microphones to here them

[@SentinelPrimek]

Would you say a snail's movement is efficient? In that energy is kinetic and heat minus the sound.

[@Praxis4RageBaiting]

That is a wonderful idea. I'm mildly ashamed I didn't think of that myself.

[@Praxis4RageBaiting]

***** That is a great point. Thank you for bringing it up.

[@WhomisThou]

But you also have to consider how slow it's moving and the liquid/slime at the bottom of the snail might dull the sound.

[@WhomisThou]

The snail is also sliding on a smooth glass table with slime secreted from its body so the friction would be significantly reduced so it might make sound on different, rougher surfaces.

[@JamoWaffleSponge]

Now I want to know how much heat or light a snail creates...

[@rubix1694]

I’ve actually recorded the sound of a caterpillar ‘munching’ - it was just like that only it took more bites at once. I just put it in a glass and basically stuck the microphone inside the glass and it got it. I don’t have a microphone like that or a room like this.

[@hehehoho3770]

The snail sounds like me when i try to not make the chips crunch at 4am in the morning

[@RS-nl2lp]

I think that the sound you hear is the sound of the maggot's sticky body breaking friction with the smooth glass surface, and not the sound emitted by the maggot itself.

[@paulisaperson0516]

You’ll never hear it sneak up on you

[@johnathantaylor5913]

I feel like this 'experiment' just reveals common sense. Of course, when amplified, you can hear maggots squirm, centipedes walk and snails crunch a leaf. And yes, a snail is essentially silent on a pane of glass, but place it on sand, or gravel, and you will inevitably hear that movement.

[@bakedgoldfish45]

[@fishnutter5219]

A large snail going up a glass window makes a noise like someone pressing a wet thumb onto the glass and rubbing. Very creepy till you realise why your window is making such an odd noise.

[@sonicmastersword8080]

[@MakeItHappenOriginal]

I’m gonna beg to differ on the snail movement being quiet. Last night I had one on my window and it sounded like a raccoon chortleing. I went outside to look for the raccoon and could not see anything. I heard the sound on the window that’s when I looked up and saw the snail. The only possible thing nearby that could be responsible I didn’t believe it but as I followed the snail I heard the sound as he went higher on the window as well. Baffling

[@Andyman2340]

The Assassin snail silently assassinates its prey.

[@WarriorTC04]

well the snail was silent while moving because it was on glass. if you had it move on a rough surface it would have a sound, as minor as it would be, never the less it would have make some type of sound on rougher surface.

[@Praxis4RageBaiting]

+Brit Lab I am unsatisfied with your science. I do not agree with your science methods, namely that just because your instruments don't pick it up means the snail is silent. Your colleague in the video seemed unfortunately too polite to correct you on this matter.

[@robertjusic9097]

I agree

[@x-iso]

I thought that maybe the sound is out of hearing frequency range.

[@Praxis4RageBaiting]

I suspect not. Because the instruments would still have picked it up. And you could easily play it in the audible range.

[@reddust4352]

Dont agree. He says its silent "With the best sound recording equipment on the world". He doesnt say a snail does not make any noise at all. And, maybe a little bit more correct, does the other guy say it is inaudible.

[@Captain__Obvious]

Silence is by definition 0db SPL which means inaudible to the human ear. There are plenty of sounds quieter than this, we simply cannot hear them. The quietest anechoic chamber in the world is -9db. The sound of a conversation 20 miles away is -30 db. The sound of a shrimp chewing food as measured on a nuclear submarine is apparently -80db. There are "quantum microphones" that have recorded the sound of a single atom. These are all by definition silent.

[@TheCheky]

What microphone are they using?

[@ChazWyvern]

"Snails are completely silent moving around" the ones on my patio door aren't and it's actually a little freaky

[@ellaineyu3642]

How about if the surface is rough? Would the snail make a sound when moving?

[@off_Planet]

You can actually hear them easily when they're eating a piece of eggshell or cuttlebone. Big species are pretty loud, no need for a microphone there :)

[@jellofish1455]

I just wanted to know what a snail sounded like. A SNAIL

[@TravisFont]

Snails shells make lots of rippling sounds when they're moving up words, tightly around objects, or against another snail. Would had been cool for them to capture that!

[@sonicmastersword8080]
