There is a fort in India (called Golconda). It's main gate has a unique design such that if someone stands in the middle and claps, it can be heard at a spot 200ft away, loud and clear. but it isn't that audible for persons standing nearby the guy who claps
+Kevin V The internet's probably not meant for you. Try doing something more productive with your life. Maybe you might just end up making something out of it.
Why isnt there a video anywhere, of someone playing an instrument in the circle. record it with industry level equipment so that we can truly appreciate the acoustic value of that circle
@@TheOneAndOnlyMrH Wonderful idea! ...elevating the level of consciousness and beauty is always a good idea. But since you can't fit a whole orchestra on that spot ...it would have to be a Bose system CD player for instance?
You all are so wrong.. ask my mother-in-law, she will tell you that she is the center of universe and the entire creation, even the sun revolves around her. huh!
She wouldn't be too wrong in saying that. Since the universe is assumably infinite, any point in the universe can be thought of as the center with other objects moving wrt that point.
It's funny because she has a point the observers are at the center of the universe their is no center but everything expands equally away from each other and by observing something it makes everything expand from you equally thus making the observer the center
Notice how the echo is more intense when you are closer to the ground. The surrounding planters are echoing back the sound source from multiple directions and when they meet, they are combining, amplifying the original sound. A listener outside the circle, would probably be in an area where the sound waves are being cancelled out, the same principle used in noise canceling headphones. Simple explanation, but still a very cool effect.
This "center of the universe" pop culture landmark is in the middle of Boston Ave pedestrian bridge, what used to be Boston Ave between 1st and Archer streets. The taller buildings built later and the other structures are why this acoustic anomaly now exists on this bridge that once went through as a street. The sculpture, Artificial Cloud, was the 1991 creation of Bob Haozous for Mayfest. Installed in 1992.
At the center, the sound reflected by the planters arrive in the center at the same time and each of them, with roughly the same sonic signature, will reinforce each other and sound louder to the listener in the center.Once off center, there will be a time difference between the reflections, and between each reflection and source... a small difference in arrival time of each reflection will result in sonic cancellations and that's why things will sound weirdly softer when off center.Using multiple sources of the same sound to multiply output power and using time differences to shape the output projection is how line array speakers in big concerts work!
@@51-FS as someone who has been building DIY speakers and planning acoustic treatment in my home theater, I'm willing to bet yes. Current pillows are stuffed with Polyfil and should be able to absorb frequencies from 250Hz and up; the lowest fundamental frequency of a male "chest" voice is around 250Hz, so that reinforcing effect should be greatly diminished. Heck, if you line up random objects/people against the floor/planter corner, that would scatter the reflections and greatly diffuse the acoustic energy of the returning sound too.
I lived in Tulsa in the 80s. Will have to locate this and check it out the next time I'm there. Noted the drawings in the center, which are the Eye of Horus, a pentagram and an ankh. Don't know anything about Dakki Ogg, but the others have occult meanings.
No Cz literally it’s the only rap song they know In Tulsa! I lived here in the 90’s, every nightclub would play country or rock music then gansta’s paradise would come on & even the good ol cowboys would get their 2step on to some Coolio…Ohh & Hey Macarania! Back to the East Coast I went with the only take away from my time in OK worth remembering “The Center of the Universe”! Sad but 💯% True!
Its just the curved concrete "planters? benches?" arranged in a circle-happens anywhere things that reflect sound are in an arc or circle-like an amphitheatre, etc
Is that like the museum in How I Met Your Mother, where when you stand in one spot you can hear what the person is saying on the other as if they are standing right behind you?
I feel like the type of concrete there is what causes the echo ... The bricks have small holes in them where sound disapates and the gray concrete pieces are solid and bounce of sound ???
Just try to imagine the brick circle as the walls of an empty well and you could explain the echo near bottom. But the question is, is it really designed like a two dimensional well.
Apparently the effect was unintentional by the designers. I could leave my house and go downtown to see it (again), but it's not like there's any sign or anything that explains it at the site (Get with it, Tulsa Downtown Unlimited!) . But a Google search turns up several results. Unfortunately, TH-cam won't let me copy and paste into the comments.
The statue it the end of the world. One side is planes that drop bombs and the other side is all of the dead people and the top of it is the mushroom cloud of the bomb
aumsvillain1 holy shyt ur totally right,, how morbid.. I got a bad vibe from that weird obelisk-like monolith, it is definitely rooted in esoteric symbolism.. not to mention the eye of Horus and that pentagram drawn into "the center of the universe," how creepy
yes man...I too think you are right....the ankh represents The life and if we connect both the ankh and sculpture then it could mean the end of life....if it could be read correctly and in depth then it might reveal some future
Tulsa was a big aviation hub in the early days which is what the planes represent also tulsa is originally Indian territory and tulsa in creek means old town..the arrow representing this and the armless looking people resemble the oil drillers of old as tulsa was a booming oil town..now I'm honestly only guessing on the last one lol...however I'm sure it in no way is meant to represent the end of the world..
Actually he is right. The statue is actually called "Artificial Cloud Statue." Probably sums it up right there, however it was created by a Chiricahua Apache artist. It is supposed to represent man's love of technology and the destructiveness that can come from that.
the center of the universe is in your clothes dryer, it's where all your Missing socks have gone and change is left behind for payment of the socks ...
I would say the center of the circle is an opening to an old well, or pipeline... and there really is no ancient "center of the universe" secret about it. Sorry if I ruined the fun
Strange that I find this "vlog" that has not uoaded anything after this video until the same day that i visit the spot and find this video when looking for info about this... Its also the day the "vlog" uploaded its second video, 7 years later. It was built in 1991, the designer/builder has not publicly disclosed how the effect works. The best guess is the circle of planter boxes act as parabolic dishes and the center of the circle is the focal point of them. The tower is a sculpture installed after the sound sculpture that pokes fun at people looking at the fake cloud instead of the real clouds in the sky. 7 years after this upload the circle has deteriorated a lot, at some point a series of bricks were replaced with lights. There is a plan to redo the area in 2024.

Shit I had the same idea, I play guitar and I'd love to hear what it sounds like, 😂
Prob because no one around can hear it
Beethoven's Ode to Joy would be a good start
Would love to see a bongo drum in the centre banging away

Masked Bandit debatable
Masked Bandit Simple explanation, destructive interference of Sound waves.
Masked Bandit yesh
You're also on a bridge over the train tracks and the aliens man..the aliens!😀
Masked Bandit well your “explanation” isn’t so simple. Real scientists can’t even debunk what’s going on here.
should have set the camera outside the circle to show the blocking effect of it as well.
@SETH ROLLINS I thought voices from outside the circle sounds distorted when heard from the inside

And thats just perfect for an amish like me
hehee
@@cheshirecat66 you know I shun fancy things like electricity
Thank you for making this video! I Love Tulsa💜
Ultra legends are watching this video after 5 years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it’s because there is a little concrete benches and the sound is bouncing to that concrete bench and then right back to you

Felix Wong that makes sense 👌👌
Felix Wong Basically, Acoustics 101. Whoever designed this spot was not only an artist, but likely an engineer.
Nigga u gay
So if u was to line pillows up along the walls of the planters then it shouldn't work?

Your Video Is Fantastic bro! Nice
i liked as soon as i heard the poem
Poem? lol it's Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. From the movie 'Dangerous Minds' . lol ...poem.
Amy C I don't think you understand his comment lol
Welcome back to another episode of why the fuck is this in my recommendation!
I lived in Tulsa in the 80s. Will have to locate this and check it out the next time I'm there.
Noted the drawings in the center, which are the Eye of Horus, a pentagram and an ankh. Don't know anything about Dakki Ogg, but the others have occult meanings.
nope, that just a drawing from yugioh fan's, it's an anime slash card game
ScoutMotto2011 dont forget the HOAX drawing!
an autodidact lol you're joking right?
It's random graffiti by random people.
Yeah whit edding
I live in Oklahoma I've lived here my whole life and I'm 19 and this is the first I have ever heard of this what on earth is it I'm so fascinated
Well it’s been 3 years but it’s just a Circle that vibrates😂
That exact same thing happens in a spot where I work in Kansas it makes an echo in one spot only you could hear it's pretty cool.
where is that? I live in kansas and want to go!
Novâ Tulsa is only like 5 hrs from the farthest point away in Kansas. NW KS. And I doubt u live there so just go to tulsa
Irving A. I live in Clowne, Grant County, Kansas so that doesn't seem far away
here in colombia happens the same thing in one spot that i know of, is called peñas blancas
do you have the coordinates to the spot?
2:36 why did you begin to sing gangsters paradise 😂
Cuz ppl in Tulsa die everyday
No Cz literally it’s the only rap song they know In Tulsa!

lol I wish you put the phone down in the circle for a second so we could listen or perhaps stopped talking at some point ! 😂☺️
lmao coolio
no need for profanity

six years one video, yep youve covered all the cool stuff here
Is that like the museum in How I Met Your Mother, where when you stand in one spot you can hear what the person is saying on the other as if they are standing right behind you?
I'd stand in the middle and scream, MY LEG!!!!
U Deserve More Subs
Cool video have heard about it but never been there live in Tulsa for about 8 years need to put that on my bucket list LOL great video
Wow 31 years just about first time I ever seen or heard of this that’s cool
Why does nobody talk about this?!!!!?!!? It’s amazing
Also interesting, anyone outside the circle can't hear what you say
Funky McFresh yes they can I've tried the
yes they can, just not the echo
that's just a cool structure !
*best place ever, went there on fourth of July*
You rule. Thank you. It's amazing. I heard it.
Stand at the center and then…
“My name is Eren Jaeger”
That was a cool video, I liked the reference too !
We have one of those here in Iowa too. I went there for a feild trip once durring school. It's really neat
it's just the benches in a circle that reflect the sound... and the name doesn't fit either...
De Potter M. It’s a cool concept, okay?
Really man stop thinking in literal terms, everyone understands what and why.
Is there any sound audible outside the circle of the person who is standing right over the circle and saying something
I feel like the type of concrete there is what causes the echo ... The bricks have small holes in them where sound disapates and the gray concrete pieces are solid and bounce of sound ???
I really hate the trip, but I gotta lope. As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool.
Tell me how I fast forwarded it and you were spitting the rap I def wassnt expecting that lmaoooo
Just try to imagine the brick circle as the walls of an empty well and you could explain the echo near bottom. But the question is, is it really designed like a two dimensional well.
I think the surrounding planters act as the 'walls' of a well would ...
when i close my doors there is echo bigger than this so does that mean my doors are center of universe?
The statue represents the Big Bang Theory
Christian Surma how so?
That "cloud" looks like a ufo sucking people up

Everywhere is the center of the universe.
i kickflipped over this spot
I went there today.. I thought it was fake at first until I went and I was blown away
dose this thing move when you make noise?
Downtown Charleston Waterfront Park has several little sitting areas that do this same thing.
That is so amazing...
The statue it the end of the world. One side is planes that drop bombs and the other side is all of the dead people and the top of it is the mushroom cloud of the bomb

Hi have Been there before it is cool you can here your eco in the middle of the universe
it’s soooooo weird, i’ve been here and it’s super cool
I subscribed just because you had 666 subs
Under the Middle is a Big Room and as you talk the Vibration of your Voice goes trough your feet in the Room.
Yeah i am a Genius i know
how many of you all are going to make the same joke? "oh!?? what?!?! don't tell so and so because they think they are the center of the universe..."
enchanting! 😎
Supposedly, if someone is standing on the dot and starts talking, nobody standing outside the ring can hear you... supposedly.
I thought the center of the Universe was in Fremont, Seattle WA. I'm so confused.
Bruh. I live here for 10+ years and never realized this place. Lmfaoooo
I want to go to this place!!
Aaron411 me too!!!
I live there tons of robberys and shoot outs just a warning
toby james when
i want to see a shoot out
@@tobyeaterofbark9582 bs
So nathing amazing in this video my friend
What happens to water in that exact spot? Are you willing to investigate what can happen in this spot!?
That cloud look like a UFO beaming down lol
You need to check out the "Whisper Bench" of the Lovejoy Monument in Alton IL.
my sister took me to the center of the universe and we didn't know what to do so we left
Sounds like Saturday morning in my toilet bowl 🤣
DOnt think you wanna stand there during a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse
they are not missing their arms, it is a position.
That tower is one of the twin tower. The people are fallong. The cloud is the smoke from the plan blowing up
Does this cloud rain?
Awesome
Love tht poem!😂
A Tulsa fave!
Power in the money, money in the power....
There’s a pentagram on the circle 🤔
I heard that when someone stand in in the bottom no one outside the circle can hear him.. Is that true? !
No
WAX .8 you're half right... they can hear the voice, but people outside he circle can't hear the echo
WAX .8 yes
No
Fz2 - THE TERMINATORS I live there and tried and my brother could
the center of the universe is in your clothes dryer, it's where all your Missing socks have gone and change is left behind for payment of the socks ...
yea we got one of these at my old middle school lmao
Isn’t this where gravitational pull comes from the center of the earth?
I need to draw a transmutation circle there.
I believe it is related to magnetic field because the center of the world where the magnetic feilds met and gather
I would say the center of the circle is an opening to an old well, or pipeline... and there really is no ancient "center of the universe" secret about it. Sorry if I ruined the fun
Hahaha coolio? Really? Thats some gangsta shit! Haha
Bro when he started rapping 😂😂💀 I’m so done
It's cool! 🇧🇷👏
I thought it’s already been discovered!!
now put speakers on it
The pentagram and eye of horus hahaha
An Instagram post brought me here 😁😁

I wonder how much the China wall curves
There is no centre of universe, we all r the centre of universe. This is not a joke for the ones that don't know.
That poem tho!! Lmfao
Awesomery
it sound like you're in hallway or in large bathroom
Is it true that only you can hear your voice inside the circle and people outside it can't hear?
They do not hear the echo they just hear your voice that sounds distorted.
