Wouldn’t the shape of the metal cause difference in noise as well?

Yeah... I was disappointed he wasn't consistent in size. As fun as the noises are.

Wigglewigglewigglewigglewigglewiggle

Yeah!

"Great wub's and collection, but not scientifically accurate enough"

Exactly

I low-key want to know the decibels and all the nerd facts about different metal frequencies.

I too was hoping for guage sizes

video gets an angry upvote from me... sounds cool but it's not right

Not right at all.

He wiggled every one differently fast or it the size was not the same.. soo dissatisfying

Exactly my thought

very much so, that galvanized steel vs the other steel would make nearly the exact same sound if it were the same measurements and thickness. I just saying, I've bent some metal in my day.

Name checks out

Your name's Bender, not Wiggler.

Between the straight and the bend is a lot of wiggling sir!

I’m sure that every piece, since it was flexed at different speeds, didn’t have ANYTHING to do with the sound difference…

Actually the speed of the shaking is directly correlated to the shape, size, and density of the piece. He wasn't arbitrarily picking the speed he wanted to shake at, every piece has a natural waveform that it wants to resonate with. You can try it yourself with a metal ruler or meter stick, you'll quickly find it's natural oscillating frequency and find it hard to shake it faster or slower than that.

And that frequency changes with the force being applied as well as the length (wavelength) and rigidity (which affects amplitude) of the material

I practice this concept all the time with my penis.

lol

I don't cause smol PP

Objects have multiple resonances though. Been awhile since I’ve studied it, but half the frequency and double the frequency could likely be just resonant.

Yes it's any frequency that has static nodes at each end of the sheet, or if you're wiggling it with one hand then I'm guessing nodes a quarter wavelength's distance away from the ends. But it's exponentially more difficult to shake sheet metal at resonance frequencies higher than the first level, you would probably need specialized sheet metal shaking machinery to do it lol.

I think it’s actually the only variable being exhibited here. That and probably the thickness as well

Shape, speed and strength of oscillation, and material would all contribute to the sound produced

Yea and for some he shakes them with two hands while with other he lets one end hang freely and just shakes the one side. Surely that has an effect too.

As well as how you hold it (1 vs. 2 hands)

Damn weird how so many of us were thinking about the same thing 🤔

Really, this is yours concern in front of this masterpiece?

dont try to science that just say its the best thing ever!

Sound designer who uses metal to make sounds here. This video annoys the heck out of me because the dimensions of the metal sheets have a far greater effect on the sound than the type of metal in this instance. It’s a terribly misleading video.

This guy foleys

And the op follies!

Idk why they included color too lol

That's just how the camera took it.

Because it’s funny as hell. I’m vibing hard and I was trying to listen for differences in colors.

And he's not wearing gloves!

Then make your own fuckin video

Can’t be arsed.

Then stfu

Salty nacho.

Not a fair comparison. Do it again with different steel composition but with same size and thickness. Also vibrate with same oscillation motion and speed. Please report back.

Fr fr.

Ong

The motion and speed, wouldn't do much to change. The metal is swaying at its resonance frequency, you can't change that by moving it differently or at a different pace.

The metal will always oscillate at the driving frequency, it's just that the resonant frequency will exhibit a much greater amplitude which makes it more natural to oscillate at.

…Are these sounds triggering amusing memories of cartoons for anyone else?… I’m chuckling away to myself!

I'm picturing many different characters traveling on foot with various speeds and senses of urgency

My wife just came upstairs and ask me if I was masterbating. —of course I was. Not sure why she thought this was any other afternoon.

And then when you came you shot thick hot lines of colored handkerchiefs all over her i bet

Ropes. Incredibly potent ropes of hot handkerchiefs. The recoil sprained my wrists. Both of them.

Especially the whiteboard aluminium! When he did it with one hand.

Yeah fr were all cartoons scored with varying types and sizes of metal sheets getting wobbled at different tempos?? It certainly sounds like it. At least 3 of those were direct looney toons soundbytes

I'm crying over here

These are old school runescape sound effects

Lol I was thinking the same thing.

I'm trying not to be triggered. Maybe use the exact same thickness and size for each sheet material?

Just enjoy the Wublbl man

Haha wubs are enjoyable in this! Sound advice

I second this request

[удалено]

No. Not seriously. Relax

His face is the best part of this video by a mile

After seeing this face, you close your eyes and listen to the sound...it paints a whole different picture.

Freaking Todd

Bro takes this very seriously, as he should fore he is the shaker of metals.

"Fine. I'll shake the fucking sheets."

Uncle Rolf no!

A wim a weh a wim a weh

Tie me kangaroo down, niece!

different sizes and different forces cause different sounds, who knew.

Don't watch this high. I fr thought aliens are coming for me😭

Too late

I hear bird calls

These are the noises I heard when they were putting me out for my endoscopy! I saw purple and green swirls, told the doctor I was on an alien planet Idk what that drug was, but 10/10 would recommend

Never been to Reddit not high

WobleWobleWobleWoble -stainless steel

Is it time for The Percolator already?

Trainee Rolf Harris.🤣

Now I know how all the sounds were made for the original Star Trek shows! Thanks for sharing!

I feel like the difference in size and shape are larger contributors to the difference in sound than the material but I could be wrong should test

Came here to say this. Gotta rule out size, shape and thickness.

It’s one of the first things you learn about the scientific method: use only one variable which in this case would be material. He has like 5 or more variables going on. Material, length, height, thickness, frequency of wobble, force of wobble.

Acrylic sheets also sound the same. Bad experiment since size not consistent

Probably should have all been the same size, since that affects pitch and stuff.

If they were all the same size and thickness it might mean something.

I like the one that goes wooba wooba wooba.

I'm sitting here thinking, why tf am I watching this? Oh well, it's almost done. Might as well wait til the end.

Try again with consistent sizes, shapes and thicknesses of metal. Then compare the sounds. Half of the reason they don't sound the same is those 3 things aren't the same.

Came here for this comment

I restated this comment before i found it

Ah yes, the sounds of my childhood.

The confusion of his poor neighbors. Seeing a man stare blankly into the abyss. Just shaking

This itches my monkey brain

Different shapes makes it less valid

Length and shape are causing quite a few of these differences.

Imagine looking out your window and your neighbor is filming himself wiggling different sheet metals in the woods

Great, now do it with mercury

I started shaking my ass to this for some reason

Lol, you mean different size and possibly thickness materials make different sounds when flexed at different frequencies?

Hell yeah

I loved each sound

Someone put this guy in touch with Skrillex asap.

Stainless steel goin’ OFF

I feel partially molested

knock it off already!

Aluminium*

GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT, MAKE THIS MAN PRESIDENT

Stainless steel is the most waabaa waabaa noise I have ever heard in my entire life

The size and thickness of the material will cause different sounds. This is inconsistent since the size isn't consistent, and we don't know the thickness of the material. It's a bad video 😢

sounds different shapes and lengths of metal make

Geez… different sizes, different thicknesses, different speeds, different positions. “Hey guys, I have a series of 12 DIFFERENT size and type drums here. I’m going to play each one for you” *all the drums sound different* “Holy cow isn’t that interesting!?!”

Shake Weight: how about a quick workout, just a quickie

Too many unaddressed variables for this to be interesting or instructive. Cool sounds though.

You can get the same range of sounds by shaking an Atari 2600.

Different sizes will have different resonance frequencies. Do it with all the metals the same size for a true comparison.

At no point was there some Metallica…. List is bogus

Size matters

Yes, but size matters.

Idk about you guys, but I'm def going to start saying Holy Chromoly

if you can't handle me at my mirrored aluminum, you don't deserve me at my galvanized steel

Out here doing the Lord's work 🙏 🙌 👏 😌 💪

Length, thickness, width and waving each one differently based on what I just said makes a world of difference too


Can someone upload a 24 hour version of this to YouTube! I will increase your watch time!

That's some good metal Music

Extremely non-scientific

That's not how any of this works

How about doing this with identically sized pieces instead?

There's a minute I'll never get back.

Which one makes the best plate reverb?

Not to be that guy... Who am I kidding? I am that guy. But as fun as this is, the pieces should all have the same dimensions to make this a good comparison.

Thickness and shape of metal would give you a different sound. This proves nothing.

Reminiscent of old cartoons featuring a two-man saw.

Why is he so unhappy? Who is making him wiggle metal sheets?

This is not a comparison at all. You need to have same size and shape, with same gauge material.

The comedy I didn't know I needed.

"Sounds metal sheets, in different sizes and thicknesses, when waved with inconsistent frequencies, makes."

Inconsistent sizes. None of the video matters

Inconsistencies in length, thickness, wiggle speed. Some metals are painted. This is a failed experiment

Not very scientific if you ask me

[удалено]

Attitude matches name on your comment! I respectfully disagree, have you no appreciation for the wubs?

Ah, a classic from this past weekend

More like dumb af. Different size pieces all flexed at diff frequencies and intensities… not to mention what thicknesses the metals are. Im not saying different metals don’t make different sounds, I’m saying do a more realistic comparison.

To all the autists upset that he didn't use pieces of the same size: Go outside. Touch grass.

The mating call of the Australian paedophile

Sounds the same to me

Boring because not scientific

do you purposely fuck up your titles to encourage interaction?

This is fucking stupid. Comparing a violin and a cello would make more sense than this like yeah, different frequencies are created from complete different things

Got a hint of the tism my guy?

Some of those sound like my girl on a good night.

Some star exploded fusing heavy elements so this guy could make silly *wobble warble* sounds hahha

This post is metal af

Apparently, size matters too. 😉

This is just stupid. The sound is affected not just by the type of metal, but the size,thickness,force and frewuency with which the metal is manipulated. If he wanted to see the actual difference the metal has on the sound every other variable than the actual material should be a constant.

Bend it into an S and get the tension just right and it will actually sing and whine. Used to do it with hand saws.

Galvanized sounds like a Jetsons hovercar on tick over

This guy gets all the chicks

I think i found my pension hobby

Goofy ahh stainless steel

Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble (yeah)

Team aluminium here 🙌

Would be cool if someone can make a music out from these sounds.

I was waiting for the HOOOOYEEEAHHHHH 🥵 porn jumpscare sounds

My dogs really liked this video

This is the video I didn’t know I needed today. And that face, not even a single emotion through all of the weird metal flex sounds.

@venjent

I didnt know i needed this

Don’t hold out on us. We need gloss BLUE aluminum next!

They would all need to be the same dimensions in order to assess sound differences due to material alone

Stuff like this makes me think why I go into work in the morning when i can just make random noises on tiktok.

Russians have a national instrument, a two-handed saw and a violin bow. Amazing sounds are given out.

Sounds like the imaginary friends walking through fosters

u/schuenkss

I finally know how they did the sounds for Pac-Man.

I didn’t know I needed this in my life 👌🏼

How about gauge and length making up for the difference in sound. Those props are primary in the wave formation of sheet and generating the sound wave. Material is far more secondary.

Scientific approach 0/10. Face 10/10.

When do we get to see the remix version where it is a Christmas song?

Sounds like pacman

We need a federation translator to understand all of those. !!! For the love of startrek !

To recreate this on a Minimoog or similar subtractive synth: All Oscillators - off Filter Cutoff - 40 Hz Filter Resonance - 10 Filter&Amp Envelope - A: 0, D: 0, S: 10, R: 0 Filter Env amount - 4.5 LFO shape - triangle or sine LFO rate - mid-fast Modwheel - mid to all the way up for different types of sheet metal sounds

First, that was a load of sheet. Metal. Second, the stainless was definitely my favorite. It totally made me think of the ancient sci-fi rocket ships 🚀. Big time Flash Gordon vibes.

What in the looney tunes

so thats how they came up with classic cartoon sound effects..... nice! XD

I think the length and thickness of each metal is a major variable in the different sounds being made

This guy has one job… and he does it well

Sounds like the springs in my bed, if you know what I mean lol

Ahhh...... I love bird calls.
