The voice of Utah's arches – Ambient seismic vibration sped up 25x

The first arch [0] has a note that says:<p>&gt; <i>this feature and the sounds of its vibration are sacred to Native American Tribes of the four corners region, and they ask that you listen and share with according respect.</i><p>Does anyone happen to know if this means they were actually hearing these vibrations in some way? (Only 25 times slower and less audible)<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;tones&#x2F;RainbowBridge.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;tones&#x2F;RainbowBridge.html</a>

I find it one of the more amazing things, that so much of our physical world has a time&#x2F;frequency dimension.<p>And our bodies have at least a couple of obvious senses (vision and hearing) to experience some frequency ranges. And with modern computing power, many natural phenomena on our planet and across the universe can be morphed into ranges we can see or hear.<p>And this in turn not only aids in scientific understanding, but also allows (some of) us to respond emotionally.<p>And that keeps me awestruck, even when other properties of our species can be utterly depressing.

This is wonderful! I can&#x27;t help but to be reminded of the book (and excellent movie) The Hunt For Red October, where a [edit] &quot;caterpillar&quot; drive on The Red October sounds like seismic activity, but when sped up is clearly mechanical. This is not he same, I know, but it has the same vibe.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;tones&#x2F;BigArrowhead.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;tones&#x2F;BigArrowhead.html</a> has a distinctly underwater sound to it.<p>Whoever thought to do this... Kudos to you! (And I... was never here...)

Oh, the internet!<p>Following links at the bottom of the submitted page, there is a tonne of information on how this data was collected. There are animations of the different ways the rocks move due to the vibration.[0] I&#x27;m assuming the visuals are exaggerated, but that&#x27;s just my uneducated on the subject mindset of rocks don&#x27;t move like that.<p>The pure science&#x2F;learning&#x2F;hold my beer&#x2F;etc aspect of this is pretty awesome.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;data&#x2F;Rainbow&#x2F;ms01.mp4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohazards.earth.utah.edu&#x2F;data&#x2F;Rainbow&#x2F;ms01.mp4</a>

I worked on a seismic monitoring system for civil engineering structures. We recorded data at 200 Hz (though all the interesting content is in the zero to 15 Hz range). Once I tried this experiment with some of the data from a bridge in a harbor. It was very cool, you could hear so much going on in the bridge.<p>Ambient seismic vibration is something of a hidden world around use. With a very sensitive accelerometer you can measure the shaking in a concrete pad due to cars a block a way. Looking in the frequency domain things like when rush hour is and which day is the weekend pop out like a sore thumb.

<p><pre><code> Song of Sand by Suzanne Vega If sand waves were sound waves What song would be in the air now What stinging tune Could split this endless noon And make the sky swell with rain If war were a game that a man or a child Could think of winning What kind of rule Can overthrow a fool And leave the land with no stain https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=KzNyao--tuY</code></pre>

For more Utah arch vibration content, check out Prof. Jeff Moore&#x27;s twitter feed @UtahGeohaz (Jeff is in the same department as the link).<p>Here&#x27;s some very cool visualizations showing exaggerated vibrations of natural wonders:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1451218202621399043" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1451218202621399043</a> (Colonnade Arch) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1473692964216057865" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1473692964216057865</a> (The Matterhorn) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1473692964216057865" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;UtahGeohaz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1473692964216057865</a> (not sure which arch)

I love Arches National Park, great hikes and fabulous geology. Now to learn that it sings, wow.

Strange there isn&#x27;t a page for the Delicate Arch. That&#x27;s got to be the most iconic arch in Utah. Very interesting project though! I think my favorite is the Rainbow Arch (not bridge). If you click through the links to Sketchfab there are 3D scans of the arches to get a better view than the pictures provide.<p>Also, I highly recommend seeing the Arches and other landmarks in Southern Utah if you have the chance. Some of my favorite places on this planet.

I long time ago I had an audio cassette of recordings from, I think it was Voyager, of the ambient interplanetary EM signals it encountered transposed somehow into audio. It was eerie and wonderful, a little like whalesong, and one of the most haunting and beautiful things I&#x27;ve ever heard.

Is there a name for shifting the recorded phenomena into the part of spectrum where humans can directly sense it? Or for converting signals into different medium, so that we can hear or see signals that we couldn&#x27;t sense otherwise? I&#x27;d like to know the name so that I can hunt for more examples and applications.<p>A good example is Dwingeloo radio telescope where they convert pulsar signals into audio in realtime so that you can listen to it using headphones. Another example is playing a sound every time your runtime preforms garbage collection, to gain first-hand intuition for internal operation (like you can pick up any abnormalities in the car engine sound).

I wonder if these weird sounds heard around the world are really just due to underground rocks or gas escaping?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=081FuoN8K40" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=081FuoN8K40</a>

Are these really seismic in origin? They sound suspiciously like wind.
