something is off, after he adds the second thing there seems to be some reverb even on sounds that don't come from the water. I might be mishearing, but I've got some red lights going off about that.
Okay I have a question from one piece, and if you haven't watched past episode 725 DO NOT click this link, The video is a 1:14 long and honestly go ot 1:08 and I am curious what do you call that echo? after every bounce? Is that reverb as well? https://youtu.be/qKmfTc-fTDE
This doesn't nearly provide enough information. There's already salt in the tank when he puts it in the first time, so it's not just that adding any salt will do, you must have to add the right amount, but what is the right amount? And what's the second thing he puts into the water?
I'd bet $100 that this is bullshit, but I'm not 100% certain. That's a lot of water for very little salt, most of which sinks and isn't dissolved immediately, and I don't believe that salt would affect acoustic properties of water in that way.
He did add 2 different things, and it says hydrophone, so I'm guessing the "microphone" is the thing on the side of the tank. Could be that the 2 salts create an electrical signal picked up by the microphone, or bullshit like you said.
I think, THINK, that because the higher salinity effectively increases the density of the water, the sound has an easier time propagating and impacts the chime multiple times causing the 'reverb' effect. I'm not sure that my explanation adequately covers it, but that seems to be the jist of what I can see from sources like the one attached below.
Not sure I'm following, do you mean in the water? Water will still propagate sound waves much faster than air, so it's not surprising there is SOME reverb naturally. The salt merely makes the sound move faster, which means it has more energy when it bounces off the sides of the tank so that when they hit the gong again it's much more pronounced.
Listen to the video and how there is way more Reverb while he places the bag down almost like he turned Reverb software on :) I dont think the salt in the tank would affect the bag outside of the tank but hey thats just me :)
In the air it's producing what's known as a pure tone, a single frequency sine wave. When it "reverbs" it overlaps with itself so neatly you don't hear much difference. As the water muddies the sound and creates a mix of frequencies, that's where the reverb becomes noticeable. (N.B. I'm re-explaining this because my first wording was apparently unclear and was getting downvoted? It's true. Try to reverb a tuning fork. Same principle.)
As a little test, can everyone who downvoted the main post (with the gong) also downvote this comment? I have a feeling not all downvotes for the main post are showing up in the post analytics.

Adding salt does nothing. What you didn't see is he turned on the reverb setting on his PC off camera.

Instructions unclear, I’ve just added salt to my eurorack.

You forgot the water.

Yeah, it's faked to create ragebait. The more we debate over it and upvote it, the more they win against the algorithm and our sanity.

So it's the salt in the ocean that makes all sounds creepy

Okay hear me out: what do whales sound like in fresh water then?

That symbol was assalted

Or you can just activate reverb in your recording software.
StellaMatutina
Which is what they did, but they're on the prestigious imgur FP and we ain't

You really think someone would just go on the internet and lie like this?
TonyBalogna
No one owns recording software. Almost everyone owns a hydrophone and a gong, though.
JuffThePoint
if you listen closely you can hear the reverb is active prior to the 2nd gong chime too haha

Filled my accoustic with saltwater. it works. highly recommend.

Looks like water softener
tombeithemist
Pepa. You need some Salt-N-Pepa in yo water to push it to reverb, dawg
gumshoe99
He could add some Garlic and make it Citrusy

As long as he tells me how much of each to add

mmmm citrussy

Ohh yeah I know how you like it caustic, baby

Best guess is the two sizes of salt particles are reflecting/distorting the soundwaves, & that the effect would lessen after they've dissolved.
But I'm just guessing. Others are saying it's a digital effect, but I'm not yet convinced. ¯\(°_o)/¯
PorneliusHubertII
The answer is to turn on the acoustic settings on the mic.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This has to be a load of Jedi goddamn bullshit. ....right?

nice but how did the reverb become active when BEFORE he chimed the gong? i dont think salt does that?

almost like he turned Reverb software on :)

What was in the blue bag?
AVerySillyPuppy
Notice how the reverb kicks in for background noises prior to the second test. ;)
45acp
Notice there is already some salt in the water?
AVerySillyPuppy
Ah, but the thing is, that's unrelated to the sound. ;)
XXXSpork
Yeah, now that you pointed it out I can hear it pretty clearly.
busterfixxitt
I hear something weird, but the reverb on the gong doesn't kick in until it's submerged. Shouldn't it be referring in the air, too?

What I wanna know is why there are 55 upvotes for you pointing out how this is all bullshit, but only 30 downvotes on the post.
Easykehl

Not everyone who votes on comments votes on the posts, and vice-versa.

Everybody sees the garbage. They acknowledge the garbage. They do nothing about the garbage. Even if it's as easy as a single click.
I suppose in the tiniest way this is just another example of why our species is gonna fail to pass The Great Filter.
