Last night when it woke me up I told alexa to play ocean sounds. The static was there right away. But its not there if the echo hasn't been playing anything lately. It's a weird problem. Anyone experience this kind of thing?
From the clouds to a nearby tree or roof, a lightning bolt takes only a few thousandths of a second to split through the air. The loud thunder that follows the lightning bolt is commonly said to come from the bolt itself. However, the grumbles and growls we hear in thunderstorms actually come from the rapid expansion of the air surrounding the lightning bolt.
Because electricity follows the shortest route, most lightning bolts are close to vertical. The shock waves nearer to the ground reach your ear first, followed by the crashing of the shock waves from higher up. Vertical lightning is often heard in one long rumble. However, if a lightning bolt is forked, the sounds change. The shock waves from the different forks of lightning bounce off each other, the low hanging clouds, and nearby hills to create a series of lower, continuous grumbles of thunder.
I never fly in thunderstorms on X-Plane, purely because the sounds are terrible. This sound-pack is amazing and sounds so realistic. Great work and I hope you get around to fixing the rain and lightning!
I can hear the Discord app "mute self" sound effect in the Project Zomboid thunderstorm sound effect. The first time I heard this a few minutes ago, while I was playing, I thought I muted my Discord app, but then I realized it was not open on my computer. So I ruled out user error. I placed my character outside and performed no input to my computer and continued to hear the discord mute sound during the thunderstorm. I googled "project zomboid discord mute" and saw another report from July 2022 with no real resolution, and no proof.
Here is a YT video (not mine) of 1 hour of the Project Zomboid thunderstorm sound effect. The sound effect error I heard in my game, that the July 2022 post user also heard, is also present in this video. I have the video time stamped at 00:00:15 seconds and the 'discord mute sound' can be heard during the first half of second 00:00:18. In my headset, it can be heard in my right ear and it is "under"/quieter than the thunder. It can be heard again at 00:02:36 and I assume every interval of 141 seconds after (per the video, at least. I don't know if PZ's thunderstorm loop is naturally 141 seconds or if the author of the video has decided to loop it as such.) 00:04:53 and beyond.
I think it's a bit like the Ceasar 3 soundtrack -- there's one track where I could swear my old 90s landline phone is chiming, but it's really just 3-4 separate sounds that play at a similar time and overlap a little to generate something "like" that tone.
I've just been primed to interpret it as that after 8-9 years of having to always listen and rush to answer it. Haunts me to this day ...
Any sort of animal sound or otherwise unrelated ambient sound is virtually impossible as it's something that can be heard from my game, a YT video of someone else listening to the weather, and a third person from a different thread. I also doubt the sound mixer / sound team would have put an animal or otherwise unrelated sound effect in the storm soundtrack, specifically. I would also venture a guess that most, if not all, bird sounds cease occuring at night, like the YT video's time shows it is. Same as my experience. Edit: After listening to each storm soundtrack I could find in the files, none have any animal sounds within them, as far as I can tell. So if there were an animal or otherwise unrelated sound effect, I managed to move to my character to several different in game locations during my storm to see if the artifact occurred at all locations. It does. I tested outside in the storm in a field near West Point's Fossoil station, then inside the Fossoil station bathroom, then the woods across the street of the Fossoil station.
Like I said further up, it happens at those time stamps but in my headset it's only in the right ear, and while it's not at all quiet, it's not as loud as the storm. It's volume is closer to the level of the rain. The sound effect is also not "centered" in my right ear. It sounds like it's only on the bottom half of my right ear. As if, were I playing a hyperfuturistic VR game with state-of-the-art 3D spatial soundscape, the sound would indicate it's occuring near my right shoulder.
It just sounds like the thunder drops off a little before rising again. Listen to both the mute sound at 0.25x and the thunder at 0.25x in the video, and I think you'll see what I mean. It's a similar sharp increase, dip, then sharp (which is similar, but not the same to the discord sound) increase again, followed by the next crackle of thunder.
While we can't recreate these environmental changes quite like Mother Nature can, you can prepare using sound recordings of thunderstorms and be prepared with high-value treats and providing a safe space for your dog when a storm rolls in. And when there is a storm on the horizon, you can take advantage of the training opportunity.
Taking time to pair the sound of thunder and lighting with positive experiences can help your puppy learn that storms are no big deal. Proactive exposure practice for thunderstorms is especially important if you live in an area that experiences frequent thunder.
For advanced students, during the next thunderstorm, have them record from home the local time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) and direction of up to 20 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes and the time thunder was heard. Then have the student compare their results with each other. Inform students that cell phones and computers can only be safely used during a thunderstorm as long as they are not plugged in.
However, I realized that I've fallen victim to the infamous rain/thunderstorm bug: As soon as it starts raining, all sound cuts out except for the radio (and sometimes cuts back in intermittently). The sound comes back after it stops raining
When it comes to finding relaxation and tranquility, many people turn to nature for solace. From calming ocean waves to gentle rain showers, the sounds of nature have a remarkable ability to soothe our minds and bodies. One particular natural sound that has gained popularity in recent years is the soothing and mesmerizing sound of thunderstorms. In this article, we will explore the power of sound and delve into the science behind sound therapy. We will also dive into the connection between thunderstorm sounds and relaxation, and discuss how you can incorporate these sounds into your daily routine for stress relief. Additionally, we will shed light on the potential health benefits of listening to thunderstorm sounds and provide tips on maximizing their relaxing effects. So, sit back, relax, and let the comforting embrace of thunderstorm sounds wash over you.
Sound therapy, also known as sound healing or music therapy, is a practice that uses sound frequencies to promote relaxation and enhance overall well-being. It is based on the premise that specific sounds and vibrations can have a profound impact on our physical, emotional, and mental states. According to research, when we listen to certain sounds, our brainwaves synchronize with the frequency of the sound, inducing a state of deep relaxation.
Our brain's response to sound goes beyond simply perceiving it through our ears. Different parts of our brain are involved in the processing of sound, including the auditory cortex, the limbic system, and the prefrontal cortex. When we hear thunderstorm sounds, these areas of the brain become activated, leading to a cascade of effects that promote relaxation.
Have you ever wondered why the sound of thunderstorms has such a calming effect on us? The answer lies in our deep-rooted connection to nature and the way our brains interpret specific sounds. Thunderstorm sounds mimic the natural rhythm of our environment, evoking a sense of familiarity and safety. This connection to nature, combined with the soothing qualities of thunderstorm sounds, creates a perfect recipe for relaxation.
Recent studies have shown that exposure to nature sounds, such as those found in thunderstorms, can elicit a relaxation response in our bodies. These sounds have the power to reduce stress hormone levels, lower blood pressure, and promote a sense of peace and tranquility. By simply immersing ourselves in the sounds of nature, we can tap into our innate ability to unwind and find balance.
