What Makes Frozen Lakes Sing?

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

I love how visual your videos are. And well, auditory too. You obviously put a lot of work into each shot.

[@skunkbear]

Thanks - we do!

[@estelahurtado7939]

Just asked this question. Never knew ice did this and I had so many questions. I am a visual learner this video is amazing.

[@sgj4aj]

I love how you were able to explain the coolest sound ever that Cory created. The first time he did that was incredible, now each year I look forward to the other sounds the lakes creates.

[@ilsaalsi857]

my favourite science channel, i'd say! keep up the good work, folks.

[@angeliquerossau]

I always knew why that sound sounds like that but I never knew the physics behind it. thanks man. Nice to see Mr. Safety scientifically explained.

[@sebas_lofish]

This amazing channel is criminally underrated. It deserves waaaaay more subscribers/views!!

[@RichWendel]

In the movie from Norway "Verdwijnen" (2016), a boy uses electrodes, inserted into the base of frozen waterfalls, (combined with some pretty fancy tech gear) to record the beautiful sounds occurring in the ice, and dripping water, during the long and frigid winter. It's a symphony! Thank You.

[@gisellemedina6295]

Seriously I already loved this channel but this video takes it over the top!!!

[@evancookaudio]

It's important to specify that the differing speeds of low and high frequencies are found in >dispersive media< like ice and metal. This is of course an example of pedantry on my part, directed towards the way you've said something, not what you're saying. I love what you're saying! An excellent video, exceedingly well put together and a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing.

[@ThatOverkillGuy]

its shit like this that makes me so happy to be a human

[@missquacky3756]

What a brilliant video! Cory posted a link to here, so interesting to hear an explanation for those wonderful sounds! Subscribed :)

[@garyschraa7947]

uhhmm , they're called "Guy" wires . Maybe someone's pointed that out already I didn't check, but still as a reminder , yes they're called guy wires . A towering antenna held by these wires is considered "Guyed"

[@aboemusic]

Just heard a distant concert taking place and I could hear the vocals of the singer reach my ears just before the kick drum did and it occured to me that perhaps higher frequencies reach the ear before lower ones so did a quick search online and ended up here. On the one hand I'm glad that I wasn't just imagining the phenomenon... On the other, I kinda wish I was at the concert... Having said that, I wouldn't have learned what I did today, had I been there in person. So it's all good 👍

[@delluminatis]

so this explains why the initial sound sounds the way it does, but why does the lake keep "singing" after the initial wave has already been heard, is it all reflections off the edges of the lake going back and forth and creating more sound?

[@maddimagpie]

It's a really relaxing sound too. Been falling asleep to Jonna Jinton's sounds for a while

[@KerryHallPhD]

Excellent explanation. I am glad I subscribed.

[@skunkbear]

I'm glad too!

[@brantub]

Such a great little vid - perfectly made :)

[@Keylargomanatees]

Love Cory and Kristen's vblogs I watch them daily

[@joedufour8188]

I love taking people ice fishing who have never been on the ice before. Start walking and hear a nice big crack - "SAFETY CRACK!!!" Then proceed to drill many holes into the ice as the sound of cracks continue. Then build a good size bon fire on the ice right where we are fishing(this one freaks them out big time)

[@TreshToons]

This is so entertaining..big fan from Corey Here, and i really liked your content :)

[@oo-ll4vi]

I watch Cory and Kristen of DudeLikeHella/LiveEachDay everyday! They are amazing and such an inspiration! I came over to your channel from his post he shared :) Nice channel

[@GeorgeTsiros]

Why does pouring boiling hot water on a thin metallic surface, produce a duller sound than if i pour freezing cold water?

[@GandalfTheTsaagan]

That's a really cool sound! Ice have some neat misteries

[@DangerousDan666]

you just got a new subscriber, thanks to Cory ;)

[@Keylargomanatees]

lol same that is how I ended up here

[@GrimmjawJack]

As many people say on youtube - I say this time Cory send me here ;).

[@shairagonzales09]

Ayyye! It's our boy Cory!

[@dude-jk2hn]

im still not sure what this channel is really about. I like it anyways for some unknown reason

[@skunkbear]

Me too.

[@maxximumb]

Explain how a Portuguese man o' war is a collection of different organisms rather than just one.

[@lohphat]

It's guy-wire actually. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire

[@skunkbear]

That link lists "guide-wire" as an alternate term.

[@sailortoo914]

Here is a more authoritative reference to clarify that "People also (mistakenly) call it guide wire." blog.uscargocontrol.com/why-is-it-called-guy-wire/

[@roblinxweiler9951]

People also (literally) think "literally" means "figuratively".

[@lohphat]

Thanks for posting the better reference. "Guide-wire" is "accepted" simply because of the frequency of its misuse.

[@skunkbear]

And so language evolves. The word "difficult" is an erroneous back formation from "difficulty." The word "sweetheart" is a mispronunciation of the correct "sweetard." The English language is full of these words - but the more recent additions are seen as more objectionable - why?

[@BringOnTheRainxx3]

Ok i know this video is 4 years old but wondering if someone might pop in who can answer my question. Would this happen in the great lakes? ie Lake Erie? I wanna hear this in person but thats the lake i live closest to, and i feel like its way too big to produce this kind of noise..

[@liina000]

What do you know? Another topic I didn't think I'd give a shit about made interesting by Skunk Bear.

[@armbear004]

Any chance we could get the audio for the frozen bay in Ontario?? It makes my ears very very very happy.

[@lizbotica2965]

Hi, I found you because I suspect that the mystery booms that we have been hearing all around the world do remind me of the sounds frozen lakes produce. What is your opinion on what could cause those mystery sounds, cracking of the earth's crust, tunnelling or what else? I would love to hear your opinion on this, thanks.

[@clayward2840]

YES!!!! The best fucking channel. Love this shit!

[@Ranger629]

Can you please explain the young double slit or single slit concept? Thank you!

[@samoharvan2]

oh hell yeah

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

This is awesome.

[@senfgurke7867]

Wow this was amazing! And even I'm not a native english speaker I understood everything. Thank you

[@menravai7286]

Did he actually answer the question about how =>the wind.

[@skunkbear]

+Kit Vai The wind isn't causing acoustic dispersion. Expanding ice buckles and cracks sending out vibrations. As those vibrations move through the ice, they separate based on frequency.

[@menravai7286]

Thanks so much!

[@skunkbear]

No problem - thanks for asking!

[@otiagomarques]

incredible

[@bobbypatton4903]

1:48 It's not a "GUIDE" it is a "GUY" wire. It's a nautical term. Sounds funny, but it's true.

[@normandykush3134]

It has a lot to do with how deep and shallow under water\ice is too?? Would it sound on a frozen River? Would the eco carry down streem for someone else to hear your noise? :) Alaskan trucker teratory ! They use the rivers as short cut when trucking goods from place to place! Nice for:)

[@AnaAcapella]

This is a very clever video and its cleverly put together so well 😮 lol and Cory is awesome 😆 My scientific question for you is...ur sofa seems to like to travel alot...does it have a permanent location or does it like to leap from place to place? 🙄

[@skunkbear]

+Ana Acapella science can't explain the green chair's teleportation - but it does call Washington, DC home base

[@AnaAcapella]

:D

[@sciencetoymaker]

Thumbs up!

[@jabbermocky]

Kuel! ( that's "cool" in ice talk.)

[@leonaklerer2328]

nice!!

[@mlowry]

Guy wire, not guide wire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire

[@Syscrush]

Great video, thanks! But it's guy wire, not guide wire.

[@Nightwind0]

They are actually called "guy wires", not "guide wires"

[@stevethompson8812]

Dude, please don't throw rocks onto the wild ice. They often freeze into the ice and make wilderness hockey all that more hazardous.

[@Zidan07166]

0:17 0:38 sounds like a whale

[@scotthusar761]

saw your face and disliked, cool video tho
