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.

If you hear a loud sound of a high enough frequency, it really Hertz.

At least it wasn’t Deci-Bull
That joke put me in the driver’s seat!!

"The big bang was the ultimate bass drop...." ....you deserve millions of viewers Joe. You've entertained me for hours and hours. Thank you for all the effort you put into your content!
I laught more with Joe than i do with most of comedians
"If a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?" Is like saying "If I don't see it, it can't see me"
And it's kind of narcissistic to think, that something happening only matters if there is a human to "witness" it...!
No, it is like saying "Sounds are interpretations of vibrations by our brain, and without a brain interpreting them, they are simply vibrations". The same way colors are interpretations our brain makes of different wave lengths of light and are not a property of reality. No listening, no sound.
"THIS is the sound of the big bang:" 17:49

"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.
This earned my like when Joe mentioned that the planet's evolutionary history peaked at giant sloths
We can thank the giant sloths for avocados.
I saw a skeleton of a giant sloth in a museum once. It was HUGE! I wouldn’t want to come across a live one! Yikes!
OK, I might be an incurable dork but I love the conversation with the tree. Trees and plants may not possess sentience to the best of our understanding, but they DO indeed sense things. I am convinced that like the infinitesimal band of light visible to humans, so too is our true understanding of the tiny sliver of the Universe in which we live. Just saying... Nothing but love
"Face Hole" Now THAT is a great name for a band!
Eugenics is an excellent case in point of how something can be totally logical, but also be wrong (at least morally and spiritually).
"Tectonic Anus" yet another masterful possible band name. You are on FIRE, Joe!
In my old age, I find that I am turning into a Giant Sloth (pun intended).
That black hole collision is wicked cool footage. This is the kind of thing that when you bring it together in your inimitable way, makes your channel truly compelling (IMHO).

@@NotChefCook You guys just aren't TRUE 'Anusiebers'
*Cradle of Filth* It changed my life.
Call me crazy but I actually enjoyed their second album "Geothermal Peristalsis" very much.
I served in the US Army, Field Artillery branch. I had a 208 mm (8 inch) artillery round go off about 30 yards from me. I had a crew of six guys and most of us were in the open, not hunkered down behind any kind of cover. There was shrapnel flying all around us, yet somehow, miraculously, no one was hurt. But the sound was incredible. We could feel the shock wave flow through us a split second before the sound hit. We were all wearing hearing protectors (mil speak for ear plugs), yet the noise alone almost took us out. Tinnitus for weeks. That's the loudest thing I have ever experienced.
“You thought your poop just vanished..... there’s a whole science behind that toilet”. I laughed out loud!
When I was a kid, the comet was 65 million years ago. Now it's 66 million years. Way to make me feel old, Scott. ಥ_ಥ

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the beginning of this video gave me such a good laugh!!!! Love you and your videos
Hi Joe,
First off - I want to say that recently I came across your channel and I love the work that you do! I now listen to your videos to and from work everyday. Whether I agree, disagree, like or dislike your videos doesn't matter because at the end of each I have learned something profound....and it makes my brain think lol. I recommend your videos to anyone looking for something thought provoking, yet VERY supported and informative. At first I wanted to ask (and was hoping) to see your insight as to why music is so important to human beings - being that it has historically evolved with our species, and is such a tremendous part of our society. But something happened today that has been really troubling to me. Someone I work closely with was found dead in the bathroom at my job. But that isn't even the troubling part....After learning of his death, I now cannot remember his face. The same thing happened when my grandfather died, as well as a close friend years back. The brain is extraordinary. Why does this happen? If the latter is too ambiguous, please consider my first thought. Thanks!
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

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!

You have no idea how satisfying it is to invent a word and then see it come into somewhat common usage. First time you hear it on the radio you're pissed (son of a bitch stole my word).

How the hell did it become....this?
Hello Joe, Thanks for a really interesting topic that was presented in an audience friendly way. Please keep doing this as it's fun and informative! On a side note, I was wondering if there was any way to umm talk to the tree? It seemed to be polite and might even have talked with Ben!
Several years ago, the disused bank building next to my condo complex (down on Turtle Creek, Joe) was imploded for new development. They gave us all sorts of instructions of how to prepare for the sound and shock waves. I had fallen asleep reading the night before, but even on the far side of the complex, away from the demolition site, that s h t was LOUD. Brought me straight up out of my chair!

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.
That’s one of the funniest segments you’ve ever done before. Gotta do more of that, had me cracking up, and my little boy cracking up and going to our backyard to talk to a tree.
I loved the video, this video became one my favorite CZcams videos of all time. Just the big bang explosion blew my mind lol.
I'm glad you touched on the volcano on Thira. I didn't know anything about it until I visited Santorini
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!
Tree: So how's quarantine treatin' ya, Joe?
Joe: 0:00 - 2:08
I did read a great article about making a 1000dB sound. The sound was restricted to a short TWANG! on a Fender Stratocaster - in mono. The figures resulting in that 1-second guitar solo was absolutely crazy. The loudspeaker cone would travel at speed far exceeding the light and even if the energy in all stars in the universe were used, we still wouldn't get enuff power for the amp to produce that 1000dB twang.
I think this is the best video you ever produced.

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.
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...
Well, you’ve never heard my dad sneeze.
Thanks Joe. It would have been nice if you had mentioned the comet(s) Shoemaker-Levy 9 that crashed into Jupiter in 1994 creating fireballs the size of earth. And as an honourable mention the Tunguska explosion of 1908 that cut off trees at the base in a range of 40 kilometers.
Loved the video… absolutely loved it. And I want to know more about the humans bottleneck and about the thera explosion! Was it followed by a huge tsunami that covered the Earth or most of it?
Joe, you should quickly look up Very Low Frequency Active Sonar by the US navy. Probably the loudest human made sound. In the region of 300 decibels. We pick it up on underwater microphone from the US navy NAVFAC Argentia in Newfoundland in the 1990s. The source was from a SURTASS ship near Australia.
"Sonar systems-first developed by the U.S. Navy to detect enemy submarines-generate slow-rolling sound waves topping out at around 235 decibels" www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-military-sonar-kill/
"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.
