A new paper suggests that the vibration of a frog’s lungs feeds back into the frog’s eardrums, reducing their sensitivity to certain frequencies in a process that scientists think is similar to how noise-cancelling headphones work.
Scientists are studying how the sound of an underwater ecosystem like a coral reef can reveal information about its health.
We think underwater acoustics should be the future of ASMR. But marine biologists have other plans.
ASMR can send give you shivers of pleasure in response to sound, while misphonia triggers negative reactions so intense it can ruin lives. Scientists are now realizing they have a lot in common.
Much like everything else in the health and wellness world, there’s just not 100 percent consensus on how well binaural beats work on entraining the brain—or if they work at all.
Quick and affordable soundproofing options for your home or recording studio.
Looking for an excuse not to go to the moon? Consider the risk of lunar hay fever.
In our busy modern lives, it’s not often that we stop and really think about what we hear. But what should our future sound like?
Scientists tracked whale movements and songs over several years, and found that whales switch from singing at night to caroling during the daytime when they begin migrating. Tracking the transition between the two song styles may help us protect these endangered animals as they move towards busy shipping lanes.
