I stared at this for about 3 minutes just having my mind blown. Totally heard it the whole time. [4]

What's interesting is that the same illusion of sound exists when there is sound. We rely on visual cues to interpret and contextualize sound. That's why the sound of a phonebook hitting a pizza box feels like a good fit when we see Bond punch a guy. Mentally we add the rest if the expected sound without thinking.

kaospaow · 5 months

I'm actually a cat right now, what a coincident.

fixthecopier · 5 months

As I click on it, someone on the tv starts banging a piece of metal in time to the jumping tower. I am thinking, "Wow this is a good wake and bake"!

treespeace · 5 months

Look away and you don't hear it but look unaway and you do

Whoa, dude, for real. I'm hearing it, but I'm also high. I guess I'm not being very helpful.

Duranimal · 5 months

If you close your eyes while it's going you don't hear it! Mind has never been this blown before. Never.

azoof · 5 months

I hear it hit the ground every time maybe I'm too sober :|

doctoredjnr · 5 months

At a [0] I can hear it and feel the thud when the power tower hits the ground. But like the others have said, only when I am looking at it. Amazing.

bunnyguts · 5 months

Yes. Every 2 weeks or so someone finds and can hear this gif.

Any deaf people wanna verify if they "hear" it?

minarets1834 · 5 months

At [0], heard it, then realized my speakers were on mute...this .gif is crazy

SiON42X · 5 months

This one has always boggled my mind. It's so strong that even if I shift my eyes away so I only see it in the periphery it still booms in my head. After a while it becomes so disconcerting that I have to close it, and the sensation immediately stops.

Now the interesting question is, do we all hear the same sound? Philosoraptor and Keanu have wondered repeatedly whether we're all seeing or hearing the same things from real, audible or visual sources. But this 'sound' is completely internally generated, sourced at the brain and assumably coming through the same neural pathways as real sound. Does it 'sound' the same to all of us?

hybridtheoryman33 · 5 months

So this is what its like to see sound...

MajorWobble · 5 months

Whoa, im not very high but this blew my mind. I tried everything to look at it without hearing it. Totally crazy. Even squinting my eyes.

ninfan200 · 5 months

your high...or you have a really good imagination...you know what it might even be both

CFHQYH · 5 months

Sounds like this.

[deleted] · 5 months

If you're gonna post the same picture as someone else, at least be a bit more creative with the title

ZombieLikesPuns · 5 months

Nah man, clear as day.

accioreddit · 5 months

i came here to downvote this because it's a centuries old repost but then i relized it was posted in /r/trees so i took my downvote away....because i love you guys....and you're just like little puppies and who would downvote a high little puppy?

Im_Jellen · 5 months

I found myself actually mouthing and saying "thud" over and over.

Stall0ne · 5 months

I think thats the heartbeat syncing up with the gif..? idk I hear it to and it creeps me out

smokey_smokestack · 5 months

This gif keeps getting posted on reddit, and every time the OP will mention hearing a sound. It's the same very specific post every time. At this point I can only assume people are doing it for karma (it's an almost guaranteed hit), especially now it's on r/trees. It's really cool that ents are so nice, but you don't have to let people take advantage of you.

itchyrear · 5 months

does it sound like this? beowww!

Makes me think. What would you do if you were driving down the road and saw this? I'd be slightly intimidated

Avohaj · 5 months

You're probably high but I don't think that is the reason you can hear this gif ಠ_ಠ That's uncanny.

[deleted] · 5 months

Woah.

ididithigherthanyou · 5 months

tuna69 · 5 months

Agreed. [0] and can "hear" something. Looked away and the "noise" went away. Very interesting. Let me smoke a bowl real quick and try it again!

RedStar21 · 5 months

Nah, man. I hear it too and I'm sober.

hipsterkitty1277 · 5 months

thats rad as fuck haah i hear it [7]

WeCameAsBromans · 5 months

Guys, guys, I got this. It's just that "THUMP" noise that always happens in video games or on movies or tv shows whenever something slams into the ground so hard that the ground shakes. And the ground makes that exact motion. We see it so often with the noise along with it that our brains associate the sound and the motion. It's just some crazy awesome synesthesia going on up there.

[6] but I still think this is legit

concussedYmir · 5 months

Hi, I'm high and I'm at [5¾] and I can't hear anything but the ground shaking

Edit: Forgetting that you just managed to get some dank and smoking like pre-tolerance break is not going to get good well.
