Have you ever wondered what is the loudest sound humans have ever made? I did, so I made a video about it. But then I kept going and well... it all gets pretty complicated.

"we peaked at giant sloths, everything's been downhill from there"
- Joe Scott 2020-
I once saw the skeleton of a giant sloth in the denver museum of natural history and it was the coolest thing I have ever seen. I immediately became very depressed I couldn't own one.
@@teslapc I think you found the right channel.
Culminating with Trump...
He has great wit 😁
dang you stole my gmail avatar.
If you hear a loud sound of a high enough frequency, it really Hertz.
Colin MacKenzie 😂😂😂
That joke hertz
At least it wasn’t Deci-Bull
That joke put me in the driver’s seat!!
*golf clap*
12:30 I just want to say that "Toba" it's a slang in portuguese for anus, so i think he's got a point about that
Do you use it as an insult, like "asshole"?
@@PinataOblongata If you really want to, i mean, it's not so offensive as you may think
i feel ashamed of myself because i didn't realize it until you mentioned it
Lol now I can cuss people out and some of the words don't have to be English
@@PinataOblongata probably not. I would assume it's more like "culo" in Spanish which is also anus.
the big bang literally sounds like a 50's Sci Fi low budget movie studio's fictionalized interpretation of what the big bang would sound like.
🤣 You're so right
I was thinking of the THX logo on movies lol
It sounds like a teleport fade in from that era also.
I swear I once heard that sound coming from a Taco Bell restroom.
Seriously though. Its the sound of an old school tube television being turned on. Remeber if you're old like me how the picture would take a sec to come on and it would come on from a central point of light. It kinda makes me think the big bang was just someone starting up the simulation. 2020 is when some teen started playing with it and ramped everything up to 11
God: *dabbles with dubstep*

@LudaCritz Check 17:48. The sound of the Big Bang.
I wish my trees sounded like Joe
My take away - Sound can melt concrete
Sounds like Andy the bomb from Red vs Blue.
What do your trees sound like?

Describe The Big Bang in 4 words: “The Ultimate Bass Drop.” -Joe Scott
I mean if you created the universe what sound would you make
"We peaked at giant sloths, everything has been downhill from there." LMAO XD
I had to pause to laugh.
I need a T-shirt that says “the Big Bang is the ultimate bass drop”
That's what we like about you Joe; you're down to earth, no funny-business, no clowning around, just straight, dead-serious talk. Keep up the excellent work. ^_^ (not a dig, I adore your sense of humor)
He was giving you the silent tree-ment.
...get it? Guys, do you...d- do you get it??
I'll hear myself out...
I hate ments. I go over my grandmas even during the holidays that's all she has is ments.
Most people might be annoyed but i needed to see this scrolling through the comments, shits classic
Being an audiophile, you've hit on a subject that is close to my heart. The research you must do is amazing. I'm not sure I can live without your videos anymore! God help me!
For the longitudinal wave, it’s hard not to look at it like a linear graph, but the up and down part is amplitude (density) and the linear is time. It’s the same idea as turning the density graph sideways. Minor detail, but as a former audiology student, I just had to say something. Also the actual physics of sound (amplitude, sine, frequency, reverb) is actually really cool and would be a good topic for a future video!
“The biggest bang in the universe is the Big Bang.” My brain: “But the universe is the Big Bang.” I’m tired
4:15 I thought it said "sound of a tomato" at the top of the list. I was like wtf is a sound of a tomato?? no wonder I cant hear it, a tomato tends to be pretty quiet 🤷
I scrolled so far to find this that I was about to give up and assume I was the only one who saw that lol
Watch the movie "Attack of the Killer Tomatos" and you'll know the horrifying sounds tomatoes make :)
@@bernhardkrickl3567 And the only way to stop them is with "Puberty Love."
Go watch a gory horror movie. The sound of gore = the sound of fruits and vegetables.
Bob from Veggie Tales would like a word.
If a tree falls in the forest, animals hear it and run away. There are SO many people, companies, labs, schools,etc. who set up hidden cameras to see what critters do when there are no people taking photos and videos. When watched later, there are sounds, and some critters run off. Some critters are curious instead of startled.They look around to see what made the sound. I hate this question. It is so ridiculous.
The "World's Techtonic Anus?!" LOL
Yeah some people would also call it a shithole;)
well as Indonesian I can say that's quite true
@@mikedelacruz5205 That's what the bumgun is for.
@@prongs82 In Portuguese, "toba" is slang for anus. So much fun I had hearing about the Toba's explosion followed by Joe's unintentional pun
"OhMyGod!,... I'm talking to a tree!"
[yeah. And the tree's winning the argument, too.]
Fun fact about the Tsar Bomba: it was originally expected to have a yield of 100Mt, but at the last second the designers made a change to cut the yield in half because they were worried about fallout.
Okay, but I literally said 'of course it does' out loud as you posed the question at the beginning... and then the tree said literally the same thing 4 seconds later?
Yes, good. I like this.
easy, loudest sound ever would be dropping anything after 3am when everyone’s asleep.
I remember the trauma of taking an hour to manage a silent entrance into my parents home after a party only to find the noise of a bong at 4 am is really pretty damn deafening. I also tried it in the back yard and the bubbling made all the nearby dogs bark.
Pup in the background thinking "Ok, now he's gone completely bonkers - he's talking with the toilet."
Do dogs pee on trees
@@MichaelTurner856, The complete saying is "Do dogs pee on trees, if there's no one there to see them?" Of course it's male dogs that do that. Females just squat.
@Tamara K bro chill.i was just asking a question
Tree: So how's quarantine treatin' ya, Joe?
Joe: 0:00 - 2:08
I was at Arrowhead Stadium the night they broke the World Record for loudest NFL Stadium at a wopping 142.2 Decibels. It was so freaking loud you couldn't even hear yourself screaming, all you could hear was the roar of the crowd.
Russia: *drops 50 megaton nuclear missile*
Joe: "That's a lot of broken windows"
XD
Fun fact that the pseudo-science fan part of Joe might like:
The Thera explosion is posited in The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind as the possible impetus for modern consciousness.
The super short summary is that prior to the explosion, humans lived as depicted in the Iliad, “hearing” their own thoughts as disassociated voices they attributed to dead ancestors, kings, or gods. But the explosion caused a refugee crisis that the surviving and surrounding communities couldn’t cope with under this sense of consciousness, and the result was a mental change like Odysseus in The Odyssey, who understands his thoughts as being his own and no longer bound to impulsive commands from “the gods”.
I’d love to see Joe cover the topic. Not just because it’s a pseudoscience or an apparent inspiration for the new Westworld series (I haven’t seen it), but apparently it’s also being looked at again by legit neuroscientists due to the theory stating consciousness isn’t necessarily based on the biology of the brain, but was instead more of a “software update” that happened without any biological adaptation or change occurring to trigger it.
What a fascinating concept...
18:00 The Big Bang sounds like someone trying and spectacularly failing to get away with a sneaky fart.
When measuring comically large explosions in megatons of TNT does there come a point when it stops being about the chemical energy of that much TNT and is just the fusion energy from the star its mass forms?
I really like the pop sound at the end of the black hole collision. It is like you can see it in your head the two black holes colliding and *pop* now there's only one
The Tambora piece reminds me of a song I enjoy by Rasputina, it is called "1816, the Year Without a Summer".

Richard Woodward-Roth - Kind of an arboreal zefrank .
"The speed of sound increases with density."
Wrong. This is a common misconception due to an incomplete understanding of the comparison between air and water (and potentially a third medium such as steel or concrete).
The speed of sound in a medium decreases with increasing density, but this is only a secondary factor. The primary factor in determining the speed of a compression wave is the material's compressibility (shear modulus is also important in solids). Therefore, very stiff materials (those with low compressibility, like water or steel) transmit sound much more quickly.
Aren't some really high quality high frequency speakers even using diamonds because of this?
And in a gas its a function of temperature. It only correlates well with density because normally people talk about air at atmospheric pressure.

Best comment all day. I say thank ya.
That 160 decibel 1-time exposure thing is no joke - the hearing in my right ear is permanently fucked because of that. At 16 I went shooting once with some friends and a 12-gauge accidentally misfired RIGHT NEXT to my right ear - like 3 feet away - while it was unprotected (luckily my left ear somehow didn't suffer any longterm damage), which all but eliminated the hearing in my right ear seemingly for keeps. To this day (I'm now 37) my right ear only hears like 10% normal.
You were lucky, that tree sounded mean enough to have drop a branch on you.
In Australia, trees commonly hide what's called Drop Bears (similar to a Koala Bear, just not as cute, and very 'ken scary!!) - these 'ckers drop from trees when a human tourist (they don't seem to bother us locals) walks by... they'll scratch the eyes out of a lady, and rip the testi... things from a bloke within milliseconds! - Joe's lucky he did the filming of this video in Texas, USA!
Good luck Joe... and I did hear you express a desire to visit Australia/New Zealand (NZ Drop Bears only attack female tourists) in the future - Don't, man... it's just not worth it, especially if you like trees.
Loving it! Hyper-interesting and supremely well-presented as always. at 18:26, you say "Microscopic variations in air densities." In the 1979 movie, Alien, the science officer, Ashe explains the alien detector works on "micro-changes in air density." Later, Sigourney Weaver, as Ripley, while crawling through the ventilation ducts, says "Micro-changes in air density, my ass." Which HAS to be in the top ten of all movie quotes ever. Don't ever stop. All good wishes.
It is NOT the same!
Sound does make a microscopic TEMPORARY change on the air density as the "shockwave" of sound pass through it (but then it gets reverted back to normal).
-> The device detects PERMANENT changes in the air _viscosity_ (one of its key components being density), indirectly caused by the presence of living creatures.
It is implied that infrared radiation (body heat) & magnetic fields (heart pumping) is what it is actually detected [directionality], while the filtering of information is based on the analysis of the air in between the device and the creature [qualitativeness].
My SAAB's 26 Rockford Fosgate speakers, 1500 amps and Sony head unit (the first one) pulled 178 decibels back in the early 90's and before children.
I live in Indonesia and guess what? Krakatoa just erupted again last month. The whole nearby cities literally heard its explosion. But thankfully no one got hurt since most people are social distancing.
HE DIDNT DO THE TURN AROUND THING!? Joe, you're upsetting the universe!
8:40 The closed captioning has it; "Joe needs bigger boobs" You might think about doing proper closed-captioning, Joe. Kinda ironic I'm suggesting adding a feature often reserved for the deaf on a video about the loudest sound, but, there you go... also, the last thing the tree mutters in the captioning is "Jake is", that can't be right! lol
Well now you done it. You brought out the 12 year old in me that had to turn on captions and watch this part 5 times giggling
Seen that too, was looking to see if anyone else caught that😂
I didn't have closed caption on and I heard that. I'm afraid of what that says about me if he didn't say it.
When my mom begins to vacuum literally just outside me door while I am asleep. That’s the loudest sound.
I don’t know why, but this is my favorite video on this channel
What about Tunguska? That knocked a lot of trees down!
Oh hey I've been to Santorini! It's kind of a tourist trap but some of the beaches are amazing!
Just to let you know, when you were talking about Toba you actually showed a map with the epicenter on Krakatoa. Toba is in the North End of Sumatra, been there and the food is sh*t.
And they politely scam you in many ways
Small correction-the LIGO detection GW150914 was of two black holes about 30 times the mass of the sun. LIGO isn’t sensitive to mergers of supermassive (millions of solar masses) BHs, which occur at much lower frequencies.
Hi Joe, I recently found your channel, it's amazing, I love it! Where would the Tunguska, meteor crater, suspected, or younger dryas impact rate? How about the Sudbury and Vrederfort impacts?
All trees sound like Joe?! AWESOME! 😂

Tsar Bomba: * Explodes *
Glass companies: *STONK*
Did you know the Tsar Bomba was actually dialed down by its designer? He reduced the blast by half out of fear of what the 100 Megaton goal would have done.
No wonder the THX sound from the beginning of 90s movies was so iconic. It was a juiced up Big Bang
Random Toboa witness: "Well this is going to be bad to our economy"
Immediately checks the stocks
I happened to work at the MIT physics department when the LIGO detection was announced. "Oh, how much energy was released" "oh, we estimate about 54 solar masses" "of ENERGY?!?" "oh, yeah, 54 suns converted to pure energy, more or less".
I mean sure, it sounds like a cute little chirp when you are 1.4 billion light years away and just amplifying a blip on a detector... but if this happens in our galaxy it won't be cute, and we won't need LIGO to see it.
When he said "This is the sound of the Big Bang" I got an ad literally at that exact moment...
Interestingly there is a certain point where sound turns into pressure waves that are less sinusoidal wave like because the minimum pressure we can reach is a vacuum. As such some of the sounds of note that didn't make this list would be marine sounds, where the minimal pressure possible would be much more significant.
Not to be that guy... but in case you were curious about the Thera Eruption... while it was massive, it did not wipe out the Minoan civilisation as a whole. The ruins at Akrotiri were obviously destroyed by the volcano, but most of the Minoan civilisation on Crete bounced back and flourished. In the relativistic dating used in the area, the Thera eruption marks the boundary between the LM IA and the LM IB periods.
Though regardless, this was not a likely cause of the Bronze Age collapse, since it happened multiple centuries 400-500 years before the 1177 Date you referenced from Eric Cline's book.
"When you hear a shotgun blast go off in a distance" had me shrugging in European.
Matthias Ott because Europe is so crowded that *nothing* is “off in the distance”?
Ironically enough, I live on a 75 hectares parcel of land, my nearest neighbor is 1.6km distant, and as I type this another neighbor, about 2km away, is firing a gun. Probably a .30-30 not a shotgun, but regardless, it’s part of the background noise of rural living like ambulance sirens in a city.
@@jpe1 there are no guns.
Haha, so typical how you guys think differently. As a European I immediately understood that the answer is that nobody has a gun. I can't remember the last time I heard a gun and maybe I never witnessed the sound of a real gun going off, which is likely true for a lot of people here.
Matthias Ott I very much doubt that there “are no guns.” I’ll believe that there aren’t many handguns, or semi-automatics, but without shotguns or rifles how do you hunt? I personally do a bit of bow hunting now and then, depending on the deer population, but I don’t see how bow hunting could be a replacement, especially for small game and waterfowl.
Ever heard of Switzerland?
aww that wee sprout tree in the middle of the momma tree just made my day ha! : )
Anyone notice anything strange about the scientist John Kramer?
Kramer
John Kramer (colloquial: "The Jigsaw Killer") is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the Saw franchise. Jigsaw made his debut in the first film of the series, Saw, and he later appeared in Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, and Jigsaw. He is portrayed by American actor Tobin Bell.
My cat voice is the loudest when she meows at my door every morning 😅
The “parents sigh” joke was great!!
16:12 while black holes can be millions of times the mass of the sun, the Sep 14th detection was of a merger of stellar mass black holes (both around 30-35 times the mass of the sun). Ligo isn't equipped to detect mergers of massive black holes, for that we need Lisa or a pulsar timing array.
That intro was really good ^^
@Stephen Hurd why's that?
The sound of the big bang is just Solar Jetman landing on the NES?
Well, what about the observer effect tho? Maybe the tree only makes a a sound cuz someone’s there to hear it!
4:15
Hz per second? That would indicate that the pitch was constantly changing linearly, like how your velocity constantly changes and accelerates due to gravity when falling.
"With my front face hole" is by far the best thing I've ever heard a person say
I saw a video once where they mentioned that, because of the logarithmic nature of decibels, a sound of 1,000 dB would literally destroy the entire universe.
The crater left by the Toba supervolcano has filled in with water, making Lake Toba, a great honeymoon destination I can recommend.
Good job.
You should do a clip on.
"If I knew then what I know now" and maybe the multiverse.
the big bang - the original THX speaker test/display
I have an idea for an episode. Have you ever heard of the HUM ? The Global Hum. I live in Indiana, and I cant hear it hear. I have a lake house in northern Wisconsin, but i hear it there. I've gone camping at Isle Royal Natl Pk. and I've heard it there. If you google it, theirs thousands of people that hear it. Even a global map of where it has been reported. Very strange. At least i'm not the only one.
imagine making a beat sampling a black hole collision and an intro with the sound of cosmic microwave background radiation
Correction: The Tsar Bomba was a 100mt bomb tested at half-yield.
Hey Joe thank you very much for your TH-cam channel I absolutely love it. when I was at the University of Chicago I learned from Wendy / Walter Carlos and Dr John chowning of FM synthesis fame I learned that NASA developed a sound cannon that could bore a hole through concrete with nothing but sound and on top of that also learned that some of the lower frequencies that you were talking about earlier in your video could actually make people lose control of their bowel movements it's been a wonderful trip through what's called psychoacoustics anyway love your channel bro keep on going
so, it was 50 MT? :D
@@kevinstrattonmusic I'm fairly certain you accidentally posted this in reply to a comment.
Patient Zero yea it was. Apparently the scientist tasked with building it was afraid of its destructive power. He realized what this meant for the world so he put mechanisms in it to reduce the yield to from 100mt to 50mt. I think. Ironically I just learned about it this year.
@@jellymop It used a lead instead of DU tamper. DU tamper would have undergone fission from the fast neutron flux produced from the fusion fuel. So while the RDS-202 design could potentially exceed 100MT, the specific bomb tested of which only one was ever built, was a 50MT device.
Love your content joe, which is a bit mad really considering I’m a general builder in the uk and am probably the dumbest person here 😳.
It just all blows my mind. 🤯
Hi Joe, Bell did not invent the telephone, it was a german lad named Reis. Bell is falsly credited with it.
That noise of the Big Bang, sent a shiver down my spine. I’ve experienced that noise on every DMT trip where I went down the hole.
Has anyone looked to the Dreamings of indigenous Australians for the Toba eruption? Because there were definitely people here by that time, and something like that would've left its mark. I know that there is research using the Dreamings to pinpoint various astronomical events, and to understand things like the changing coastline of Australia over the millennia, so it seems like this would be something to ask about. Just a thought.
Now I really want to see if there are any.
Neighbors be like: The white guy is talking to the tree again
😂😂
I loved the video, this video became one my favorite TH-cam videos of all time. Just the big bang explosion blew my mind lol.
I listened to the sound of the big bang and I noticed similarity with 'are you experienced' by jimi hendrix. Is it only me or the professor also a fan? lol
That intro made me chuckle
You gotta have some British blood within you. I love the humour, wit and sarcasm. I would love to spend a weekend evening in a bar with you. It would be hilarious but interesting too! You got a new subscriber.
Joe can you do a video on why the moon rings like a bell when hit with a heavy object? Apparently it rang like a bell for several hours.
Watch out for Audible. I subscribed for the free audiobook. I then cancelled the subscription. Yet they still billed me for a Romance novel. They slipped that one in very subtly so that I didn't notice. I then had to cancel that one too to prevent further billing. So for one "free" subscription I had to cancel twice and was billed once. Watch out they don't catch you too - I would definitely not go with them again.
You make it fun to learn. You do your research. I'm enjoying it.
I can hear about 10hz and up to about 23khz. And yes, I have an audio device that can produce frequencies as low as 4hz and as high as 44khz, along with a DAC to properly drive them.
Great starting bit
Yeah, shotguns are loud. Then there’s the ungodly pain of unknowingly standing next to someone shooting a .338 Lapua cartridge. Closest description is how I’d imagine it feels like to stab your brain with a Q-tip.
17:50 wow, the Big Bang sounds a lot like the 1980's local TV station's ID - "pyeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuw you are watching WXYZ"
A lumberjack starts chopping down a tree. The tree cries out "wait I'm a talking tree!" Lumberjack says "AND YOU WILL DIALOGUE!" (get it? Talking dialogue ..die.. a log.. HARDIEHARHAR)

No there is no ”sound” if there is not a mechanism to interrupt a sound. There may be vibration that one may feel or one might see the effects (I. E. Movement) of the force of the vibration creates movement only if one has the mechanism sight.
