Totally hear it [0]

[–]jman4291 29 points30 points ago

me too 7

[–]Hibno 27 points28 points ago

Yeah, I can hear it at a [0], but if I look away...nothing. Then I look back and I can hear it again.

[–]Pwoshi 10 points11 points ago

I think this is one of those situations where you see the impact, the quake, and you know there has to be a sound, so your brain makes one.

[–]xvertigox 6 points7 points ago

Wait. Of course. I'd be surprised if anyone actually thought the gif (vs your mind) was making the sound.

[–]rocketman12333 0 points1 point ago

yeah i figured all the stoned people would be arguing about it in the comments and just making no sense ahaha

[–]tornadosgoOMNOM 6 points7 points ago

but it's always the same exact sound. if this were to somehow actually happen, im sure it would make the same sound. mind blowing up right now.

[–]Levoamphetamine 20 points21 points ago

I think its my heart beat

[–]Ghost141 5 points6 points ago

and i have no speakers/headphones plugged in

[–]norcal_toker 2 points3 points ago

Thats triipy yo, its like i feel the motion blur

[–]wolfvision 1 point2 points ago

What the fuck is my brain doing to my ears that is making me wonder how this gif is producing sounds. I am scared, 2012 is coming sooner than predicted

[–]MyFavouriteVegetable 33 points34 points ago

Goddamn, you must be at least as high as I am right now

[–]Totsean 52 points53 points ago

I can hear it to and I have never smoked or tried any weed.

[–]mickeyjawn 63 points64 points ago

Wow you must be really high...

[–]thealienthing 30 points31 points ago

Best. Response. Ever.

MFW

[–]Sharkey42o 11 points12 points ago

Supra high

[–]PsychoNerd91 13 points14 points ago

I don't smoke or ever have. Yet I still come here. Why? Ents are funny.

[–]JumpIntoTheFog 1 point2 points ago

But how you haven't tried it then?

[–]PsychoNerd91 1 point2 points ago

How? Free will.

[–]numbatree 1 point2 points ago

The better question would be why?

[–]PsychoNerd91 0 points1 point ago

Many reasons. The main reason is I honestly don't care about the drug, I'm not opposed to it, nor am I against it. For arguments sake though, if the drug has no harmful side effects than I really see the cause of it being illegal. If there was a vote here (Doubtful. I live in Australia) than I would vote for the drug, not for myself but to benefit others. If it was legal, I would of coarse try it.

There's another reason, availability. I wouldn't know where to get it from. Not that I'd be able to afford it (I live in a garage for gawds sake).

Anyway, it doesn't matter, I don't have the desire for it anyway.

For those [7] and above.

Dude. I have the ability of free will. I feel good without the stuff. It's the way it is man.

[–]JumpIntoTheFog 0 points1 point ago

Yeh fair enough. I live in Aus and I would have no idea how to get any if I didn't find out that some of my old school friends know dealers. Before I had ever had any I knew nothing about the stuff and probably looked down on people who smoked it. I was just curious to see if you had any serious aversion to it despite seeing all the fun/happy people on here.

[–]Scuttlebuttz93 2 points3 points ago

I love you for some reason

[–]TheGeorge 0 points1 point ago

I'm only ever sober when on sites where I can voice my opinions, mostly cause I don't like posting stupid things that I'll find and be embaressed of sober.

I go on sites where all evidence of my stupidity are gone in a hour or so such as omegle and other anon stuff.

[–]Mambodius[S] 83 points84 points ago

Guys.. you're replying too fast.. I need time to upvote everyone.. ♥

[–]saywhatisobvious 1 point2 points ago

I felt no pain

[–]feathers333 12 points13 points ago

Woah. It has such a distinct sound. I wonder if everyone else is hearing the same sound...

[–]Asplundh 15 points16 points ago

You know, like, maybe we always hear different sounds but we don't know but we still associate the sounds to the same things.

[–]rollinca 10 points11 points ago

kinda like my "red" might look to me like your "blue" looks to you, but we've always associated those respective colors to the words for them, so there'd be no way to tell if there's a "standard" color we all see the same or if our brains interpret colors differently and just the words are the same. or whatever. run-on sentence.

[–]CANDLE_IN_MY_PEEHOLE 5 points6 points ago

The same with the ways that things are tasting

[–]AREYOUSauRuS 3 points4 points ago

same way with everything. everyone lives in their own specific reality.

[–]TheGeorge 0 points1 point ago

XKCD Blag did an interesting informal study on this topic, it makes for interesting viewing (The results were made into accurate graphs.)

ofc it was trolled a tiny bit cause it was an anonymous study done online, but less than you'd expect (at most 20% of the results are obvious trolls, but they were removed from the data.)

[–]TheGeorge 0 points1 point ago

Well for hearing It's scientifically proven that there are minor differences,due to errors in some folks ears and some folks having better than the norm hearing.

For mentally generated noises, I have no clue. I suppose they may vary rather more.

[–]alexmari 11 points12 points ago

woah i can

[–]ishatbrx 5 points6 points ago

I hear not only the THUD of the jumping tower, but the cables swooshing through the air.

swooooooshTHUDswooooooshTHUDswooooooshTHUDswooooooshTHUD

[–]boocakes 5 points6 points ago

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

[–]gameryamen 5 points6 points ago

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 4 points5 points ago

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

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Meeow

[–]kaospaow 0 points1 point ago

Dude.

[–]fixthecopier 4 points5 points ago

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 6 points7 points ago

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

[–]DontCommentMuch 2 points3 points ago

Upvote for unaway. Thank you for the addition to my vocabulary good sir!

[–]wowdata 3 points4 points ago

Can anyone explain this? Because I think it works ...

[–]CommanderFlapjacks 3 points4 points ago

Yes

[–]oohdachronic 2 points3 points ago

i'm not high and i hear it

[–]DontCommentMuch 2 points3 points ago

Came here to say this. You're just too quick for me!

[–]Krags 2 points3 points ago

I heard it. And saved it.

[–]xaphody 2 points3 points ago

my computer has no sound, and i can hear it

[–]A--Train 2 points3 points ago

Somehow the MF Doom song I had playing had a minor sound that matched up perfectly with this. Freakin me out man... [0]

[–]iznotbutterz 2 points3 points ago

Dude, there's like a crunch everytime it lands.

[–]rezhitter 2 points3 points ago

Must be the string theory strings, THEY"RE GOIN RIGHT THROUGH MATTER

[–]ItsCricky 1 point2 points ago

That's too trippy.. Never had a gif give my brain sound that isn't there o_O

[–]quv 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]Duranimal 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]azoof 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]Sharkey42o 1 point2 points ago

My face shakes

[–]smokey_smokestack 1 point2 points ago

the screen shake really makes this one go

[–]doctoredjnr 1 point2 points ago

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 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]CoreyBautistaTB 1 point2 points ago

Am I the only one that can feel it...? [0]

[–]leafs_fan420 1 point2 points ago

holy shit, i saw the power lines doing that while I was on shrooms!

[–]TommmyBoy 1 point2 points ago

[0] and i can hear it.

[–]Rmc9591 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]minarets1834 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]SiON42X 1 point2 points ago

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?

[–]CavitySearcher 1 point2 points ago

i hear a low bassy muffled boom, like hearing a sub woofer inside a house while standing outside

[–]hybridtheoryman33 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]MajorWobble 1 point2 points ago

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 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]CFHQYH 1 point2 points ago

Sounds like this.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]ZombieLikesPuns 1 point2 points ago

Nah man, clear as day.

[–]accioreddit 1 point2 points ago

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 1 point2 points ago

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

[–]Stall0ne 2 points3 points ago

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

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago*

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.

[–]smokey_smokestack -1 points0 points ago

i'll uptoke what i wanna, jack

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago*

You're free to be a doormat if you want.

[–]fireman14t 1 point2 points ago

First time I've ever seen this gif on the Internet. So I think I will uptoke it. Don't be a grumpy pants

[–]Paper-Cut 0 points1 point ago

Hard to be a "doormat" by up-voting a repost. Been on trees for a while now as well as the internet and haven't seen this before.

[–]la_de_daa -1 points0 points ago

Tadaaaaaaa agreed

[–]itchyrear 0 points1 point ago

does it sound like this? beowww!

[–]b00geyman_ver2 0 points1 point ago

it sounds like WEEEEEN BOOP WEEEEEEN BOOP WEEEEEN BOOP

[–]MyNameIsMudkip 0 points1 point ago

It feels more like a rumble in my brain, like the foundations of my consciousness are being shaken by this very .gif.

[–]falousco 0 points1 point ago

I've never been able to hear this .gif, weird..

[–]Ruphio 0 points1 point ago

I hear it too, sober as hell

[–]xtract 0 points1 point ago

That's really strange I can hear it ! At [0] wtf - mind blown !

[–]blackcrowes 0 points1 point ago

I can hear it and I can feel it slightly. [0] Though I did just stay up all night writing a paper... so I may a bit out of touch with reality.

[–]Foley1 0 points1 point ago

Am I just high of have I both seen this .gif and read this title before?

[–]lvnfrmn 0 points1 point ago

[–]mmmmbaconn 0 points1 point ago

Woah I didn't read the title at first Thought I was trippin

[–]fireman14t 0 points1 point ago

I can hear it too lol.

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

[–]Avohaj 0 points1 point ago

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Woah.

[–]ididithigherthanyou 0 points1 point ago

I'm legally deaf and I can still hear it, I dont even know what hearing is, but I can hear it.

[–]tuna69 0 points1 point ago

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!

[–]ZOMGITSABEAR 1 point2 points ago

for science!

[–]RedStar21 0 points1 point ago

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

[–]zngracelandClub MFLB 0 points1 point ago

i love this gif

[–]SonOfSatan 0 points1 point ago

Should flick this over to r/askscience, and maybe get an explanation.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

[–]pinion13 0 points1 point ago

Yep, I also hear it [0]

[–]hipsterkitty1277 0 points1 point ago

thats rad as fuck haah i hear it [7]

[–]WeCameAsBromans 0 points1 point ago

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

[–]WeCameAsBromans 0 points1 point ago

Edit: Think of T-Rex walking around, or when your fighting a boss with a giant hammer and he slams it so hard the ground shakes. That noise!

EditEdit: Shit i just tried to edit but I replied instead...

[–]concussedYmir 0 points1 point ago

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.
