- The song of the dunes introduced by Stéphane Douady. Since Marco Polo this strange sounds that can be heard in some deserts fanscinates. Here Stéphane Douady shows the different sounds that can be made, as soon as this singing sand it is sheared, with the hand, the feet, or in avalanches. Recorded on a singing dune in Morocco. A movie from Etienne Chaillou and Mathias Thery.
Ah the tubas of time... Could you imagine getting lost out there and dehydrated with a sad farty sound every step
lmao
This comment made the video for me.
LMAOOO
😂😂😂😂
Sad farty sound LMAO 🤣🤣
I can imagine if there's a strong wind sweeping over the sand, one can hear the sand dunes YELL.
@@gamerzone0764Thank you so much omg
I came here after hearing about the "ghosts of the desert" in Marco Polo's book, this is truly fascinating to watch.

@@nikitakrim02 Yup, he and Red always introduce me the most interesting things. :D

Same here.
I came here after watching a video about the biography of Marco Polo
Here from OSP. Didn't realize this is what Marco Polo was talking about in his work when he claimed there were "ghosts" in the desert until today. Fascinating stuff.
I think he means when the wind shifts huge amounts of sand
Wow, I've just seen the behind the scenes of the SFX of Dune and this is amazing!
You know what eerie is that in an little as a days time there with no sign that they were there at all. The winds will wipe the slate clean. You could go insane without a proper way to guide yourself out of there.
STOP! You are going to attract a sandworm!
Relax. Mongolia’s too far away from where he is.
Bless The Maker and His Water, Bless the Coming and Going of Him.

Bro u need to walk without Rhythm
What's a SandWorm
I feel like I'm being pranked
Its actually real. Science will explain it, I found a video explaining it. I've been there before and found some booming sand dunes. I named a dune Julio.😂
I swear to God man. I gotta check this myself to believe it 😂
@@Ahmed-cy7bf I saw another video explaining that some beaches here in Australia squeak too and that it's to do with the uniformity of the granuals. And wet sand doesn't do it apparently
i can confirm the squeak sound from beaches in australia, i was fascinated but compared to that dune sound - this is way more impressive.
12 Years later and this is still pretty dope.
14 years now and still goin strong
@@gamerzone0764 I agree
Wow... It's like nature's record scratch. It's been worn down to such a fine grain. This is awesomee
I wrote a song in 2001, called Desert Lullaby, where I have the lyrics "the dunes they sing for you". Little did I know. :-)
Woah😦that freaky
@@carmenlara8191 No, just an awesome coincidence. 😀
Where can I hear this?
Sounded a lot like flatulence most of the time, but then, at the end when he slid down the dune....my god that was beautiful, and so loud it went almost to my bones.
I know how the sounds are generated, but now i can not get the mental image of the dunes having the farts out of my brain 😂😂😂 thank you for that, i needed this
That's some pretty dry sand! I've also experienced something similar to this in Dunes Park Florida. When you run on the sand on a particularly dry day the sand will "chirp." I can only describe it like dragging a pencil eraser on a table and getting the pencil to vibrate from it.
They're the satisfying type of sand, and knowingly sand is already satisfying to begin with.
I came here after watching "The Sounds of Dune" for the movie Dune. Incredible!
I thought all you did was dashing birds and cacti? Happy to hear you also have some time for recreation left.
Man this is so crazy yet real... nature is awesome...frightening and awesome
Darude - Sandstorm
+TheLittleSimon The Original and Best version.
This is 1 thing I want hear before I die, a beautiful symphony from mother earth,
It sounds to me like sad whale crossed with sad farts
How does this not have more views?
Joslyn Sarshad Because it's fake.
+Joslyn Sarshad Not too many people know about it, apparently. I came here only after reading Marco Polo's account of it. The Europeans didn't believe him at the time, either!
Joslyn Sarshad this is real watch another video similar to this th-cam.com/video/WCrwPMwOcCw/w-d-xo.html
Best example of how this works on here. 15yrs ago.
I'd heard of this a couple of years back - but surprised just how 'haunting' the sound is when he slides or sets off an avalanche.
I came here after watching 2021 dune film. This is just awesome !!!
Wonderful video, was surprised when it was finished and before I left I checked the date - 15 years ago!
I hope this soft-spoken person is doing well wherever they are
These dunes are now on my bucket list. (pun intended.)
That sands seems sooo soft! It's more like powder than sand. I'd love to touch such soft sand. Here I only know the rough one xD
Following a sandstorm, "hollows" between Dunes can fill with powdered sand as fine as Talc. This can be very dangerous as I knew a couple of Americans that actually "drowned" in such a powdered sandpit .
i heard that it can get so fine it can get into your lungs and be dangerous for your health
I really hope Denis Villeneuve watches this and incorporates it in the Dune film...
And here I am a year later because Villeneuve referenced this video in a behind the scenes feature about Dune’s sound design
That is so darude.
it's almost like crunching snow
Something new for the bucket list. I could sit out there and do that for hours...or until i got dehydrated!
Just read about it on wikipedia and had to hear it. Amazing, thanks for the video, great introduction and presentation
What the heck. I never heard of this before! How odd and wonderful at the same time
That looks like so much fun!
They need to use this sound in the Dune films when they need some ominous backing backing music.
wow, that's incredible!, it's like a really big instrument that you can walk on lol.
Absolutely amazing!!
I watched this about a year ago in school and I’m so glad I found this…
Amazing! The Sound of Dune sent me here and it was totally worth it to follow that lead.
I can imagine the desert wanting to speak (or sing) to us after being so 'deserted' for so long. Yes pun intended. Amd thanks for the video I am thinking of sampling this and using it in a song.
I was just looking for the new "Dunes" movie's soundtrack but I am happy I ended up here XD I wonder why I cannot do the same at the beach though...
Beautifull sound
here because of marco polo biography
Canções das Dunas...
Neste vídeo Stéphane Douady mostra-nos a canção das dunas (em Marrocos). Diferentes sons são produzidos através do movimento das areias ao serem deslocadas com a mão, o pé ou em avalanche.
This is amazing. I love the look on the guys face when he looks into the camera at 1:49 . Looks like he's saying "yea, you try to explain this shit."
Welp, congrats on the trippiest video I've ever seen
Thousand splendid suns brought me here 😂❤️
He is calling the Shai-Hulud
What comes to mind...you heard those loud noises that no one knows where its coming from or what it is?
Just makes you think about The Trumpets.
What a strange and beautiful sound! Thanks God for created our Mother Earth that continuously surprises us! 🙏🏻❤️
3:20 it's like the sportcar sound!😁🏎️
fantastical thank you
I thought when he was going up the hill he was stepping on an old man. I DIED.
I discovered this phenomenon naked on pot brownies and made sound with my whole body rolling down dunes. What a day!
I came here after I was on the Great Basin website in the Nevada Desert it has singing sand also I guess anyplace with huge sand dunes can make the sound
3:15 Als hätte Benjamin Blümchen seine Antidepressiva vergessen :D
It almost sounds like some creature is lurking under the sands, and the noise is it 'purring' as it's being pet by the puny human on top of it.
lol that almost sounds cute
That sand is squeaky clean!
The sand is so fine it looks liquid-ish.
1:51
Fard
Beautiful.
Last move made the best sound 😆
What I like about it is you talk but you shut up long enough for us to hear it good job man
Foreal too much TH-cam channels go straight into mindblown screaming and going omg omg a bunch after hearing it 😂
Beautiful video.
Beautiful and so interesting
It's not a prank lol. The sounds were produced by collisions between grains of sand that caused the motions of the grains to become synchronized, causing the outer layer of a dune to vibrate like the cone of a loudspeaker, producing sound.
Nice video, and nice research on the phenomenon.
"All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah. Psalm 66:4
there are beaches in Wollongong that do this
the sand is so fine. there must be some sort of health hazard
I agree it is almost like moon dust
12 yrs later,my english teacher recommend me to watch ..
It is only the sand skibbling against itself, like when windscreen wipers skibble when they are dry.
i came for the dune movie
Géniale petite vidéo, je ne m’attendais pas à ça ! Merci !
Very nice. but last time we went, we did not hear the sound.
The first noise when he slid down the hill, sounded either like a bass guitar and someone running their finger down the lowest sounding string, or like someone cut the cheese.
Darude - sandstorm
sorry.

Really we’ll explained! Merci beaucoup!
Is it the air escaping from the sand and vibrating to make the sound?
When I hear this I understand where Hans Zimmer got the inspiration to write the music for dune in fact you can actually hear the sand song in the music so cool that’s why he’s one of my favorite composers!
Very cool sounds!
Could you share what mic and recorder was used in this recording and it's placement?
camera's mic
So many ppl here because they read about the sound from the Marco Polo book… me too! I want to play in this sand so bad looks so amazing!
I wonder if there's any correlation between this and the sound of music you hear at Mosques.
You get this at the beach here in Australia... while amazing, I've seen this plenty of times before. It's just the sound of silica sand moving
C’est impressionnant…fabuleux…je cherche s’il y a une variation de fréquence avec le désert en Namibie
weird... dope... fascinating...
Came here from Dune.
What an interesting little phenomenon.
When he used three fingers......the dune really liked that. 😂
So it’s kinda like how a beach “squeaks” but on a large scale with smooth sand
the souls of dead moan with their fleeting breath as they are stepped on
may i presume that all this happens because all sand particles in these dunes are extremely similar in size and they resonate?
fascinating, but it makes my skin crawl
This is amazing. It's hard to believe it's real!
What do play?
Me: Desert
that's incredible.
that's amazing
1:08 is the earth moaning?
this is awesome
amazing
Sounds like my stomach in class while taking an exam in silence
magical
Sounds like a swarm of pissed off hornets
We need some pros to go on AGT and do some music from the sands!
