you can never go back to listening to music in 128kbs.

19. The sound of snakes slithering was achieved by the sound designer running his fingers through a cheese casserole, and he created the sound of the heavy Ark lid being lifted with the lid of his toilet at home. He found the perfect sound effect for the rolling boulder by sending a Honda Civic coasting down a gravel hill.

in air it goes at 343.2 m/s(metres per second)

in water it is over 4x faster at 1497 m/s

and saltwater, an even faster 1560 m/s

This is what it looks like when you break the sound barrier underwater.

Most of these are cliche but it’s more an exercise in keeping me more conscious of it:

• creaking wood planks on the docks
• gravel crunching under the tires of my Beach Cruiser
• Drew’s high pitched squeaks and Davis’s ridiculous bellowing
• Squeak of the front door and the noise of the bottom doors opening
• classic rock radio drifting into Mom’s room from the deck
• creak and metallic screach of the pullout sofa’s wires as Meredith and I toss and turn on it
• smack of flip flops of concrete
• pop and fizz of diet cokes being opened
• Faint Davis Mom’s talking in lowered hushed tone’s about something secret/important
• Strange new bird tweets
• Pontoon engine, wind on the sound
