Poll: What dark sorcery is this?!

[new boy]

It does nothing for me.

I find the gif strangely pleasing to watch though

 

[Mak3R]

I hear nothing, do I win or lose?

 

[Akagi]

nothing, has any expert explained it yet?
I expect it's just another brain error which feels on the blanks. Looks like it should make some noise and so some people here it.

I'll add it to my list of brain errors.

I just thought to myself that the pylon might wake a 'weeeee' kinda noise as it was jumping up. Can 'hear' that now when watching

 

[LabR@t]

I don't hear it...but then it is a JPG.

Same here

 

[Whitewater]

I couldn’t hear anything even with the volume turned up.

I suppose the big question is, if you showed it to a large group of people that didn't know you could possibly hear it would anyone still hear it? Could easily be put down to suggestion.

They would as that's how it started off. It was just a gif in a competition and people started posting they could here something. So I see no reason why a blind test wouldn't result in the same.

One person they posted they could hear it, maybe they could, maybe it was a joke. Others could have picked up on it, a mini mass hysteria effect.

Would be an interesting experiment at least


I think the Jurassic Park trex water tremors may trigger a response in me more than this, because I know what it is supposed to sound like.

 

[bayo000]

I can't hear anything. But I am imagining a thud. However hard I try I can't not imagine the thud.

Same

 

[Kerplunk]

If the skipping pylon was replaced by Donald Trump, would it still have the same affect?

 

[Diddums]

I can only hear black and blue.

 

[Jumper118]

this is like writing a news story that if you read a news story about blinking you think about blinking.

 

[itchy]

You have to be pretty thick if you can hear anything, as you cannot embed sound into a gif!

 

[weringo]

I can "feel" it, would be intereting to see whether that changes if the thing landing on the ground was something else but with the same screen shaking effect etc

 

[builder22]

would prob be the same....doubt it's specific to jumping pylons....

 

[pitkin]

More of a feeling than actually hearing it. As if my inner ear is bracing itself for the loud noise that's about to occur.

 

[MookJong]

Tried this again this morning on iPad and I no longer hear it. Weird....

 

[DaleTheWhale]

I can only hear black and blue.

No. It definitely sounds white and gold to me.

 

[Diddums]

No. It definitely sounds white and gold to me.

Thank you. I was seriously worried that it'd go to waste
