Linus, I just got new headphones, and this video was the first thing I started playing when I plugged them in for the first time. You scared the crap out of me lol
If ur wondering, "sound dampening foam" will do nothing to reduce sound travelling through a wall. All it will do is reduce acoustic reverb within the space where the sound is. So in a car, sound dampening foam might give a little benefit by reducing reverb because its such a small space that reducing reverb might help the overall sound you need to block. If you want to deaden sound (aka reduce the sound traveling through a wall, aka sound proofing) you need to add mass. Whatever is the most dense and will vibrate the least, will block the sound waves the best. Foam isn't dense, therefore it will not stop sound going straight through it. Simple physics.
My school music room needs sound dampening; our band of 60 people is crammed into a tiny room and 20 of those are fucking trumpets that blast all the time. We REALLY need this lol.
Linus god dammit I thought there was something wrong with my speakers and I turned them up and then you go "AAAND THAT!" and it made the fucking dog bark from upstairs.
Damping = changing the resonant frequency or amplitude of a substrate. Dampening = getting something wet. Used in a sentence: Damping was applied to the first few seconds of the video and fooled me into turning my speakers up too far. It spooked me into knocking my drink to the floor - dampening the carpet. OK 2 sentences.
I had problems with RUclips preloading on my phone without sound couple of months ago. The dev stated that it was fixed. This video intro fooled me a bit thinking the problem was back. Thanks Linus for freaking me out :p
Anyone who has superior canal dehiscence knows exactly how sound dampening affects our everyday lives. People with SCDS have brains that have adapted to prioritize sound being conducted through their skeleton moreso than sound entering the ear. Thus, with SCDS, you can put all the sound dampening stuff you want on the walls, but you also have to insulate the floor somehow (or your shoes, or find a way to levitate) to achieve that sweet, sweet silence.
I have a Fractal R5 case. It is an extremely quiet case, helps when it's late at night so I don't have to turn up the volume so high. I'd highly recommend this case to anyone!
Not EXACTLY what sound damping is, but close enough. Damping is more to do with controlling the sound than eliminating it entirely, for example damping in subwoofer enclosures. The sound still permeates but it has been conditioned to sound less boomy than otherwise.
Paused the video, checked every possible problem that could have been happening in all of my three audio interfaces and two outputs, and lost hope. Then I played the video and realized it was a gag. Mad.
I need sound damping paint! Easy to apply , does not stick out unless you use pink paint or other colors, and the best part is it does not require any extra square space! Wait please no square space segway. D;
2 layers of 2Doz egg cartons on walls and thick carpet on floor and ceiling. Worked well with my drum kit living on the 1st floor of a 3 story block of units with ultra thin walls, floors and ceilings.* *Didn't seem to protect against my neighbiurs on the ground floor after my washing machine blew out and leaked then damaged their beanbag room.
:) Was hoping to see a water bucket challenge or something to clarify the diff between damping and dampening, but it never came. It's a mistake made more often than not, it seems, so I don't fault you for it, but it would have been a clever intro... more clever than me skipping backward several times toggling the mute button. :D
2:09 unintended sound is just wasted energy, leading to inefficient operation, and further redesign (i.e., for the conscientious engineer). Nissan FTW!

I swear I thought my audio died.
+Sp3ct3r_2k11 Yeah, I got kind of freaked out at the beginning :P
Same
+Sp3ct3r_2k11 yup, looked at keyboard, wasnt muted, turned up then it clicked
who didn't?
+Sp3ct3r_2k11 i had put my headphones on full volume thinking it was too low... and then the audio kicked in.

What headphones did u get, btw Philips fidelio x2 here(clean and dynamic). How do they sound??
+dcr99mo Same here, not the first video, but the first of the day, I thought they broke overnight
Learn from me. DO NOT TURN UP YOUR VOLUME IN THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!! My ears will never be the same...
I was to late my friend. I feel with you. Your warning was to late for me :(
+David Cox I thought my gaming headphones stopped working... I was about to rage hahaha
+David Cox I didn't turn up the volume, but I did start screwing around with the mute button :)
+David Cox I was really close to turning up the volume but caught on before he talked.
ANNNNND too late !
I literally exited out of Chrome twice thinking My sound was muted LOL
i’m really late, but your obviously lying
@@jayzoid9857 way too late
Wkwkwk me too
I first had a soundless ad, and then this, and I really thought something had broken in my speakers
i thought it was quiet, so i turned up my volume and then when it came on it woke up everyone in the house.
thanks linus

Uhm Linus, It's Sound Damping, not Dampening. Dampening is to make wet while Damping is to reduce in intensity.
+Matty P Gee Damn, beat me to it.
He doesnt give a fuck about facts
dampen also means to make less strong or intense
Eric Close Which is precisely why many people confuse damping with dampening.
damping has to do with voltage and currents

As someone who is a sound designer these audio techquickies are a cool way to see the science behind the stuff I work with. Keep it up :)

Why do Americans/Canadians call Nissan Neesan?
+TakeTo TheShadows I'm Korean and I call it Nee-san, but not as exaggerated.
Sounded strange to me, life long Alaskan.
+TakeTo TheShadows I'm american and I pronounce the "nis" in nissan like "nisce" in reminisce.
I've never heard an American call Nissan "nee-san". I think this is the first time I've heard it pronounced incorrectly.
+Flame If its a japanese brand... then that is how it should be pronounced?
That intro made me deafen myself, thank you

For anyone wondering, 1 inch foam squares do absolute shit when it comes to sound dampening. Get at least 3 inch ones
best begining ever. was at work and had linus' voice blare suddenly in a quiet hotel. brilliant.

When linus mentioned trains, there was a train passing by my house. You're a wizzard linus!
This video was just a build-up for the joke in the end.
0:00 Linus don't play with my fickle heart D:
+Lil Poro
Poro!
Turned my audio to max at the start of the video. You troll Linus! xD
This video only considers medium and high frequency sounds. Low frequency sounds require mass, decoupling, etc.
Not EXACTLY what sound damping is, but close enough. Damping is more to do with controlling the sound than eliminating it entirely, for example damping in subwoofer enclosures. The sound still permeates but it has been conditioned to sound less boomy than otherwise.
Wow. Smooth transition Linus.
Gawddammit Linus. You actually got me.
Home builders don’t care about sound. It’s a side benefit to insulation. Same with windows.
Paused the video, checked every possible problem that could have been happening in all of my three audio interfaces and two outputs, and lost hope. Then I played the video and realized it was a gag. Mad.
Actually sound waves do travel forever. The amplitudes just decreases to mensurable.
+Marcel Robitaille Except they can't get smaller than Plank's length.
When I could hear you in the first part, I turned up my volume really high and it scared the sh*t out of me
Don't you mean when I couldn't hear you and not could since no can hear him at the beginning part?

To think an hour ago I was seatching for Foam padding for my wall.
2 layers of 2Doz egg cartons on walls and thick carpet on floor and ceiling.

This explains a lot about the DEW phenomenon.
How the government probably has a huge investment in sound isolation in certain places.

Had to check if headphones were in.
this guys everywhere and is a time traveler
Technically a volume knob or mute button are the easiest forms of sound damping; when source is (a|"set of") speaker(s).

nearly refreshed the page in the first few seconds lol
Watch from 4:55 at half speed... drunk Linus 😂
Fuck this shit had me turning my volume all the way up 😂
Speaking of the trains by your office, how are you guys eliminating the sound produced by their passing?
