Oh man trying this on Fiat 126p! As a polish woman I thank you. I remember to this day the days where people were riding around town in this tiny little cars playing music so loud you could see the car bouncing sometimes along to the song. I know for a fact a guy on the street I lived at put the music inside that car so loud from custom speakers his car windows broke down. All of them. Great video as always.
This would actually be pretty neat for a music teacher to be able to explain and show younger kids exactly how vibrations can create the noise as we hear every day🙌
Yeah I thought this would be better marketed as a educational toy with like discovery branding or something. Crap listening device, really cool edutainment toy imo
I'd love to put, like, a string sample though a drum via this thing and make it into a sample library! Or put a sinewave though a drum, record that, put THAT through the drum, record that, rince and repeat... until you get DRUM MADNESS.
seeing you test it on various musical instruments and large containers makes it seem like a really really fun toy more than a genuine audio enjoying experience. I would 100% get something like this just to mess around with it once in a blue moon.
As i understand, it's called a vibro speaker. And you can get one, that much more powerful, for about 10$. It's actually neat, but the biggest problem is that you need a really good pressure to the surface.
If you're gonna get something like this, I personally recommend the Rock-It, it's something I used to own. It's basically this little nugget that'd easily fit in the palm of your hand, runs off internal bat power (mini usb if memory serves) and is considerably easier to find a place to stash than the shitdisk we saw today. I used to carry it around in the same pocket I carried my old clip nugget MP3 player I snagged from Goodwill and half the time I forgot it was even there
@@im1fadedRob well, yes, this particular one is garbage. But overall it's intended purpose is more about the commercial use. Like adding a sound for a glass display. Or as a haptic feedback on various simulators. I've seen one of those, plugged through subwoofer and under the table, adding a tactile feedback to the mouse and keyboard, while playing shooters)
I remember seeing a wireless one that was actually really heavy and on most hard surfaces actually would produce decent sound. The thing is right after that a lot companies like monster and JBL started coming out with devices that felt like they had the driver from that thing but attached to an actual membrane. They were just as loud just as clear and you didn't need to find a good surface to set it on.
There's a version of a similar product going around on TikTok that's Bluetooth and a much smaller form factor, mostly being advertised as a shower speaker (IE stick it on a glass shower door) and novelty toy, which is fair enough.
There is actually some cool variations of this, had one when I was younger that was probably 2.5x the size vertically and almost anything I put it on sounded pretty great, particularly glass surfaces like windows and tables. Search vibration or resinance speakers
Not gonna lie I'd actually love just playing with this and seeing how things sound whenever I'm bored, I could be entertained by this for at least a week, and for 10 minutes at a party once every year or 2
Check out tech ingredients video "world's best speakers", they use a similar device (just of much higher quality) to make amazing speakers from some panels of different materials
I had a chinese knockoff version of this thing when I was growing up. It was great fun slapping it on various empty things around the farm like empty metal drums and feed troughs. I remember that the more hollow space was in the thing, the better. Wonderfully useful during halloween as well, made for great "where the fuck is that noise coming from" moments.
When I was 16 I had a construction job doing electrical, I tried using this on all kinds of things around the job site. 2x4s, boxes, windows. Haha I think I ended up bringing it back to the kiosk at the mall.
I remember back in high school (like 2011) a kid had another version of this. It wasn't a cheap "as seen on TV" one, but an actually decent product (i think it even had Bluetooth, which was rare for the time). Unlike the one shown here, it was a box with a much larger contact area (maybe 4" x 2"?) and it actually worked pretty well. I recall him putting it on a window and it sounded very good, clear, loud, and some decent base. So though this product may have been cheap garbage, the concept actually works well if the product is larger, stronger and just not cheap trash.
This thing would honestly be pretty cool to use to make analog resonators, when you place it up to the cymbal I could honestly see it being used with some ambient sounds tuned to the same note to make some ethereal type pads.
There are indeed much better versions - usually called “surface transducers”. literally just a voice coil without a cone basically. Some are geared toward making flat panel speakers, others are more “bass shakers” which, you can build a silent subwoofer into furniture. Fun fact, you can hear bass by feeling it through your body. Weird.
What's funny is when real companies got in on this, some of the speakers were actually very good. You couldn't barely hear anything coming out of the speaker itself, but once you plopped it onto a desk or similar surface, it filled the whole room with sound and they were loud. Of course, you had to pay a premium for it. I almost bought one. Almost.
This an audio exciter. They're often used to make distributed mode loudspeakers, which typically use some type of stiff foam to get a good frequency response. I've built a set and while they're not my ideal speaker, they sound incredible for how cheap you can make them and can make really good hidden speakers
I've made a microphone that way. Zepplin Labs makes a piezo amplifier board kit you can assemble and yeah, it's pretty trebly, but with the right EQ it's much better than you'd expect.
Yep, I've used them in a bunch of interactive audio installations for kids - they're great as they're completely hidden and can't be damaged by prying fingers

they have new versions of these and then they also have something very similar that can be connected to hanging wall panels, Styrofoam sheets, glass, plexiglass and other objects to turn them into large room speakers which are actually acoustically amazing. these devices also double as tactile feedback when placed under seats for full immersion in games and watching movies. when using wall boards, plastic sheets and other types of materials, they change its richness and tone based on material, thickness, shape, and size.

Those little speakers are known as DMLs (distributed mode loudspeaker). They can actually sound "decent" if paired with the right surface and if placed correctly on the surface as depending on where you place the speaker you will excite (or not) certain resonances of the surface (known as modes) which is generally not ideal if you're looking to achieve a flat response. how ever if you're looking for a fun project to build over the summer and have some cool speakers you can pick them up pretty cheap online along with a few different surfaces, foam, metal, wood etc thay you can mess around with and enjoy the weird effects you'll get (metal is spooky)
I remember walking past a stall at my local shopping centre selling a version of these years ago. It was the same colour as the iconic DankPods iPod case, and the salesman convinced young me and my parents to purchase them, they were marketed as ‘Scandinavian audio technology’. They were a fun thing to play around with, and i actually recall a few situations where it was actually useful. I’m sure it helped that at the time, my friends and i didn’t really care about audio quality. Hell, i remember it working quite well on my garage door one time when we were hanging out the front of my house.

I’ve seen a different implementation of this: bass shakers. I thought of buying a few and sticking them to the frame of my couch/bed or something. Hooking them up to a home theater system or something, and setting them to cut off anything above a certain frequency.

i have a few of these type of “anything speaker” but they’re heavy, half size a coke can, and with a suction cup bottom. and they work surprisingly well. I put one on my glass hatchback and it was pretty good. the whole rear of car was now loud “as a speaker”
There's Bluetooth versions of this. Transducers are pretty neat, have you ever seen the YT vid by Tech Ingredients where they make some speakers with foam panels?
Pre-vid comment: I can't wait to hear Dankpods say "Boom Tyoons" Post-vid: I can't believe this has happened, the word 'Boom Tyoons' was not spoken once.
They're called vibrational exciters. Tech Ingredients (great youtube channel, look it up) has a couple videos about using them to make excellent (and cheap) speakers using similar ones attached to foam insulation panels. He tests a bunch of different materials, pretty neat.
I had something like this as a kid and it was amazing. Really got me into the physics behind sound and probably is a major reason that I watch this channel. It may not sound great, but is a fantastic gift for a young kid to play with.
I have zero ideas why RUclips showed me this video but that consumer “device” is essentially a cheaper version of a piezo electric inducer we use in the music industry. We use the same piezo inducers with slightly better amps and usually coupled with an EQ to filter low sounds. We place those inductors on metal plates and run sound to create what we call metal plate reverb! You have heard it on countless recordings.
Daytona audio makes these for anyone wanting to play with these. I have 2 of them mounted to 4x8 sheets of poly foam board and they do sound fantastic for what they are.
They're actually called audio exciters. Check out Tech Ingredients and their videos about cheap DIY speakers if you want to know more. Also, I know this comment is old, but there might be other people seeing this wondering the same thing.
the day i can stick a little nub on my wall and my entire home becomes a labyrinth of scarlet fire so deafeningly loud i can hear the screams of a thousand dead earbuds in the sub bass is the day i achieve true happiness
I've seen the apostrophe being used for plural S too often, but this must be the first timer I see it's being used for third person singular present verb m
You can get two just by getting a pair of bone conducting earphones :P Sometimes I put mine over a box or something to make a really, really bad speaker. It's funny.
The studio where I did my apprenticeship had those barefoot sound MM27 Gen2 speakers. I have never heard better sound in my entire life before or since working in that studio. Truly mind blowing sound capabilities on those things.
LG did this same sort of thing with the LG G7, you set it on a resonant surface like wood or a cardboard box and it would use that to amplify the bass, it was pretty freaking cool and actually worked.
I've always been fascinated doing this with music box mechanisms and seeing different things with different densities when the mechanism was placed on it and how it reverberated. This little thing in the very least is a neat little science project to show how audio travels.
No joke these things are incredible little studio toys for experimental sound design. Played a drum loop through a wine glass with mine once and it sounded fucking crazy.
To be quite honest, I've come to realize that a great deal of videos on RUclips won't even go so far as to normalize their audio. A lot of videos are noticeably quieter than they should be; Some videos are even close to inaudible, especially if you're using something like bone conduction headphones without any earplugs. The levels on your videos are perfect, which makes sense but is still very appreciated. Always happy to see an upload from you as long as you're enjoying the video as much as I am.
I always edit the sound level of my videos with the same sound level I use for RUclips at max "player" vol so they're pretty much at the same level. I thought it was common sense?
@@netts2315 It's much less of an issue if you only watch the same channels, and those channels happen to have well-balanced audio. I watch various things along with my usual subscribed content.
@@cancelhandles I suppose I've been fortunate then. If you enjoy someones content that has this issue, you could let them know I suppose. Have a fantastic day!
They have similar items like this that use more up to date technology and they actually work really good! You can put one on the window and it gets really loud
See I actually had one of these kinda things that worked quite well- as long as you weighed it down with something. If you used it on glass you actually got a surprisingly wide and clear sound from it
Most of the products are extremely niche and made for disabled old people The only problem is, the ads show this "problem" by using the most incompetent able bodied people ever (see that gif at the beginning of that man *jumping* into his armchair and his food tray flies all over the place, absolutely incompetent)
There are actual devices called sound exciters that are basically this, but designed for actual audio. They're used to make pretty decent inexpensive speakers with extruded polystyrene.
It's just a magnet and voice coil. They put them behind walls in rooms I cant talk about so people cant bug the room. They work good to keep barnacles of the hull of your boat. They make big ones! I think Disney put them into seats for tactile sound in theaters. You can use them in your home theater system behind sheetrock for invisible speakers, best used with crossovers.
I had one when I was a kid, and I had an absolute blast messing around with it. Obviously the point was never to make it a speaker, but to just kinda screw around with it. I'll admit, it did work better with fresh tape, but the fluff from the cardboard boxes meant it went quick. Thanks for the nostalgia man!
Keep this thing around for headphone reviews. That way we will know which sounds better, headphones or a literal musical bin

Me - "man my headphones sound like trash"

This would actually be pretty neat for a music teacher to be able to explain and show younger kids exactly how vibrations can create the noise as we hear every day🙌

Solder a small brushed motor onto a 3.5mm jack cable. Easiest vibration speaker.

They do that in school. Also every vibrations is "audio" it just need to not be too fast or too slow in frequency.

They can actually sound "decent" if paired with the right surface and if placed correctly on the surface as depending on where you place the speaker you will excite (or not) certain resonances of the surface (known as modes) which is generally not ideal if you're looking to achieve a flat response. how ever if you're looking for a fun project to build over the summer and have some cool speakers you can pick them up pretty cheap online along with a few different surfaces, foam, metal, wood etc thay you can mess around with and enjoy the weird effects you'll get (metal is spooky)
6:25 "Dust me up, woman!" "Okie-dokie."
2:33 some nice relaxing content
Is that so relaxing I'm almost falling asleep
Him and lgr are polar opposites.
Lgrs chill relaxing and not constanly screaming
That made me rolling on floor
Lol

I love what using a drum or a cymbal as a speaker does to the music

6:10 dankpods discovers plate reverb
I remember walking past a stall at my local shopping centre selling a version of these years ago.
It was the same colour as the iconic DankPods iPod case, and the salesman convinced young me and my parents to purchase them, they were marketed as ‘Scandinavian audio technology’.
They were a fun thing to play around with, and i actually recall a few situations where it was actually useful. I’m sure it helped that at the time, my friends and i didn’t really care about audio quality.
Hell, i remember it working quite well on my garage door one time when we were hanging out the front of my house.
That actually makes a lot of sense - exciters sound best on rigid foam, which is probably what your garage door was insulated with
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
I’ve seen a different implementation of this: bass shakers. I thought of buying a few and sticking them to the frame of my couch/bed or something. Hooking them up to a home theater system or something, and setting them to cut off anything above a certain frequency.
I love how the package clearly shows it being used on an UNOPENED soda can 😆
you're saying that like it'd make it sound good
hey, keeping it closed gets you some really explosive sound!
@@coten but, does a soda can speaker have that pop we're looking for?

5:48 you in the bathroom while dankpods is doing dankpods things
8:26 it actually sounds like some death metal song LMAOO
i have a few of these type of “anything speaker” but they’re heavy, half size a coke can, and with a suction cup bottom. and they work surprisingly well. I put one on my glass hatchback and it was pretty good. the whole rear of car was now loud “as a speaker”
You know what? I kind of love it. I could see myself having got a big kick out of this thing as a kid.
This thing feels like something you use to prank your mates after they get high. Making them believe in talking coke cans and boxes.
Perfect idea lol!
There's Bluetooth versions of this. Transducers are pretty neat, have you ever seen the YT vid by Tech Ingredients where they make some speakers with foam panels?
This gave me the idea-which someone must have already done by now-to make a plate reverb out of an old cymbal. Adding that to the list...
6:11
THE BELLS
THEY TOLL FOR ALL
6:39 finally, the sound of trash
Everytime DankPods uploads a video, it feels like Friday
well in austrailia, it probably is friday!
@@Dog1818YT you’re not gonna believe this but
Pre-vid comment: I can't wait to hear Dankpods say "Boom Tyoons"
Post-vid: I can't believe this has happened, the word 'Boom Tyoons' was not spoken once.
They're called vibrational exciters. Tech Ingredients (great youtube channel, look it up) has a couple videos about using them to make excellent (and cheap) speakers using similar ones attached to foam insulation panels. He tests a bunch of different materials, pretty neat.
Thanks for the channel recommendation and what they are called
Everybody gangster til' the pizza box starts spittin' Scarlett fire
I had something like this as a kid and it was amazing. Really got me into the physics behind sound and probably is a major reason that I watch this channel. It may not sound great, but is a fantastic gift for a young kid to play with.
I have zero ideas why RUclips showed me this video but that consumer “device” is essentially a cheaper version of a piezo electric inducer we use in the music industry. We use the same piezo inducers with slightly better amps and usually coupled with an EQ to filter low sounds. We place those inductors on metal plates and run sound to create what we call metal plate reverb! You have heard it on countless recordings.
Daytona audio makes these for anyone wanting to play with these. I have 2 of them mounted to 4x8 sheets of poly foam board and they do sound fantastic for what they are.
I actually unironically love this thing. Do they still make ‘em?
They're actually called audio exciters. Check out Tech Ingredients and their videos about cheap DIY speakers if you want to know more.
Also, I know this comment is old, but there might be other people seeing this wondering the same thing.
My friend threw two of these above his drop ceiling. Didn’t sound perfect, but it was a very clean setup!
"The bigger the object, the bigger the sound!"
Me: puts it on the ground in an attempt to deafen the world like a cartoon super villain
8:43 me after taco bell
8:16
The Diablo+Coke combo sounded like something from the deep ocean being recorded.
I though it was more like someone obnoxiously finishing their milkshake
Weird gurgling sounds from coke can intensifies
LOOK AT THAT DR PEPPER SPEAKER! The greatest softdrink ever made can also be a speaker! How dare they try to hide its logo. 1:16
Finally a man of culture. I love dr pepper
*crap-cola and pepsi wants a word with y'all*
the day i can stick a little nub on my wall and my entire home becomes a labyrinth of scarlet fire so deafeningly loud i can hear the screams of a thousand dead earbuds in the sub bass is the day i achieve true happiness
“The bigger the object the louder it sounds”
Sticks it on a random floor and dies*
Im a dutch drummer!! Amazing to see you using a dutch snare! They are amazing🙏🏻
Its always a great day when Dankpods post's!, keep doing what you do!
I've seen the apostrophe being used for plural S too often, but this must be the first timer I see it's being used for third person singular present verb m
Shitty small resonators that can be attached to anything to "turn them" into speakers?
I want 10!
You can get two just by getting a pair of bone conducting earphones :P
Sometimes I put mine over a box or something to make a really, really bad speaker. It's funny.
@@estherstreet4582 yeah, I guess that makes sense
2:24 oh hey a boom box
I had something similar to this a few years ago, what I found to have the best sound was a hollow core wood door. Actually sounded pretty decent
Company That Makes Speakers: We are the best
Boom Tunes: we’re so good that we can make a hollow corpse a speaker 😇😇
It really brings the "fun" to a funeral
The studio where I did my apprenticeship had those barefoot sound MM27 Gen2 speakers. I have never heard better sound in my entire life before or since working in that studio. Truly mind blowing sound capabilities on those things.
LG did this same sort of thing with the LG G7, you set it on a resonant surface like wood or a cardboard box and it would use that to amplify the bass, it was pretty freaking cool and actually worked.
man I always love when Dankpods yell because all litters are capitals ,I would repeat the moment when he shout like 10 times in a single watch
we need like how people get doom to run on anything, but its getting scarlet fire to run out of everything
God, Wade’s giggling as he Scarlet Fire’d through a pop can, what a delight
5:29 I like the rug
I've always been fascinated doing this with music box mechanisms and seeing different things with different densities when the mechanism was placed on it and how it reverberated. This little thing in the very least is a neat little science project to show how audio travels.
No joke these things are incredible little studio toys for experimental sound design. Played a drum loop through a wine glass with mine once and it sounded fucking crazy.
7:29 a poland car is here to check if you are a key
4:30 taking “sound tinny” too litterally
To be quite honest, I've come to realize that a great deal of videos on RUclips won't even go so far as to normalize their audio. A lot of videos are noticeably quieter than they should be; Some videos are even close to inaudible, especially if you're using something like bone conduction headphones without any earplugs. The levels on your videos are perfect, which makes sense but is still very appreciated.
Always happy to see an upload from you as long as you're enjoying the video as much as I am.
I always edit the sound level of my videos with the same sound level I use for RUclips at max "player" vol so they're pretty much at the same level. I thought it was common sense?
@@netts2315 It's not. The number of videos that are too quiet is astounding.
@@cancelhandles Interesting. I've only ran into a couple.
@@netts2315 It's much less of an issue if you only watch the same channels, and those channels happen to have well-balanced audio. I watch various things along with my usual subscribed content.
@@cancelhandles I suppose I've been fortunate then. If you enjoy someones content that has this issue, you could let them know I suppose. Have a fantastic day!
I love how the Coke can literally sounds like someone perpetually sipping soda out of it with a straw.
I can only imagine the neighbours when you start screaming thinking you must be warming up the ol' glass rose when you're actually just making videos
I had one of those window thingies as a child but it sounded better on the outside than on the inside.
"Welcome to: the floor! I brought the idiot." Your delivery on that made me laugh so much my mouth is dry.
They have similar items like this that use more up to date technology and they actually work really good! You can put one on the window and it gets really loud
Great content my guy. I love your vids they bring me entertainment.
This would be good for a surround sound system to add some "natural" sounding reverb and "echoes"
8:35 Why does the Coke Can sound like huge Subs in a car with vibrating windows?
See I actually had one of these kinda things that worked quite well- as long as you weighed it down with something. If you used it on glass you actually got a surprisingly wide and clear sound from it
Holy shit, left side driving 126p, didn't even know they made that. You truly are a man of culture.
3:44 yeah Craig’s an old buddy at this point
I agree the “as seen on tv” products can be quite crappy
The only endorsement I've seen that was crappier was on an Ashens video.
"As seen on TV!*
*in some countries"
Most of the products are extremely niche and made for disabled old people
The only problem is, the ads show this "problem" by using the most incompetent able bodied people ever (see that gif at the beginning of that man *jumping* into his armchair and his food tray flies all over the place, absolutely incompetent)
@@PixyEm yeah the first part I understand making products for disabled people which is really nice of them but yeah the ads are odd
honestly for that little thing and a box, it sounds better than what i thought it would
There are actual devices called sound exciters that are basically this, but designed for actual audio. They're used to make pretty decent inexpensive speakers with extruded polystyrene.
It's just a magnet and voice coil. They put them behind walls in rooms I cant talk about so people cant bug the room. They work good to keep barnacles of the hull of your boat. They make big ones! I think Disney put them into seats for tactile sound in theaters. You can use them in your home theater system behind sheetrock for invisible speakers, best used with crossovers.
5:00 is visiting some kids house to play Super Nintendo and you don't know them that well
I had one when I was a kid, and I had an absolute blast messing around with it. Obviously the point was never to make it a speaker, but to just kinda screw around with it. I'll admit, it did work better with fresh tape, but the fluff from the cardboard boxes meant it went quick. Thanks for the nostalgia man!
