I came here to post this, but you beat me to it.

I can totally hear a thud in my ears when the pylon lands. It’s not audio so much, but vibration. I hear it repeatedly too. It’s strange but very interesting. I also kept hearing it after I stopped watching the gif.

I’d love to hear the explanation.
 
You are welcome, and i don't hear anything but i do get the same sensation of "hearing" but only half of it.. if you know what i mean.

Ah the old question, if a pylon jumps in a field and no one is around to see it does it make a sound.

Nope i hear nothing ......
 
Heh, I 'hear' the thud....very good :cool:

It just shows how our perception of the world isn't as accurate as we think, our brains are constantly 'filling in the gaps' to produce a picture of the world it expects rather than always what is there. It's the basis of a lot of sleight of hand illusions

It's also why so many eye witness reports of events are so unreliable, and IIRC why a pilot can be a worse eyewitness to a plane crash than a young child (the pilot knows what can go wrong/cause what he's partially seen and the brain fills in gaps automatically).

I sort of get a similar feeling watching that to when I'm playing a videogame and do a long drop, it's hard to describe but it's more a sensation in the ear than a sound (except when it's a drop in a game it's in the pit of my stomach).
 
I automatically imagine the thudding sound when it lands, and I imagine the swish and slap of the cables as they move and hit the ground. However, I don't physically hear anything.

I imagine the sound, and I do it on every iteration completely involuntary.
 
I can't hear anything. But I am imagining a thud. However hard I try I can't not imagine the thud.
 
Yeah its really weird, its like I can feel the pulses in my body. Not so much an aural sound but more a feeling as if I were actually there....How strange!
 
Same kind of effect happens if I watch a famous music video on mute. I can imagine the sound of the music playing with pretty much total accuracy. Feels like same thing is happening here, you're just imagining the aural sensation.
