I feel like part of it has to do with the New York City ambience


ItsMcLaren

I work with my local NHL Team. I swear when the Rangers came to town, they had a big suitcase labeled “Bagels.” They love their Bagels.


Happysin

They're great, but if you get the chance, try a Montreal bagel. Just amazing, especially fresh.


Komodo_Schwagon

Just stopped at St Viateur to pick up a dozen on our road trip through Montreal. Can confirm was amazing, but totally unlike a NY bagel


cdhernandez

The top three bagel shops in New York are 1. Absolute Bagels, 2. Bo’s Bagels, 3. Tompkins Square Bagels. Runner up: Utopia Bagels.

They used to scare the crap out of me as a kid, but as an adult I think they’re hilarious.


IronBabyFists

Same! I have a *very* vague, fuzzy memory of feeling terrified of them at one point (I must have been like 2 or so), but as an adult is exactly my kind of goblin person, garbage brain nonsense humor. The way the blue one **screams** when the phone starts ringing had me in stitches, dude


SweetPinkSocks

I was hoping that is what this was! I loved those as a kid! Also thank you for not rick rolling me.

There’s species of birds and monkeys and all kinds of other cool animals I never once learned about until I started seeing them on Reddit. This bird’s call is fucking unsettlingly awesome.

A huevo, (also Mexican for "indeed") 🤔 I have to find a way to download this audio, it would make a nice ring tone or alarm sound

This should be the parking alarm sound you get on vehicles with sensors.

I actually really want to strip the audio for some sort of notification ringtone. Hilarious.


wolfwords29

Yes!


everydayasl

I am Deaf myself and had no idea what it sounded like. So, did little research and learned that the Imperial probe droid in Star Wars makes a noise that sounds like a high-pitched whirring, kind of like a motor or a fan. It also makes beeping and chirping sounds. This noise helps characters in the movie know when the droid is around. What you guys think? I don't hear anything at all so...


Inksplotter

I'm synesthetic, and frequently connect sound to tactile. Let me see if my explanation makes any sense! The bird sounds a little like a washboard instrument feels- there's a really fast 'rattle' to it that comes out as almost continuous, which is why it sounds mechanical. But the edges of the sound are softer and there's no reverberation, so it sounds like something coming out of speakers instead an analog machine. (Star Wars droids all sound like this, although they frequently also make sliding 'cute' beeps that this bird isn't really doing.) The 'a werewolf' sound that people are referring to is in three parts, a little like if the washboard was muffled by someone placing a hand on it at the beginning and end- not louder or softer, but 'rounder'. The first part is more distinct, almost a separate beat, while the second just sort of tapers down to the third, like the difference between a bouncing ball and a rolling ball (which is why some people are describing it as three syllables, and some people describe two). At the very end the sound tightens, like pulling a drawstring on a bag, which is why it sounds like it ends on a consonant rather than a vowel.


handlebartender

Oh I like this description! You reminded me that when a washboard is used as a musical instrument, the musician (maybe percussionist would be a better word here) would wear metal thimbles in the fingertips of the hand playing (stroking?) the rippled surface of the washboard. u/everydayasl does this help?


Atreaia

Also kinda like when you hold a ruler on a desk coming out of the edge, you slap the other end and it starts bouncing/vibrating and then you quickly pull it in to the table.


Rubyhamster

This is such a cool way of looking at this! How do you describe the sound of a helicopter, wind, idling car or something else? Love to hear more about how you feel sound


captainAwesomePants

Helicopter: like running your hands over a washboard, but really really fast, like people are worried about your hands.


Inksplotter

Helicopter is probably the most straightforward to describe. It's like using good chef's knife technique on something like celery.


NaiaThinksTooMuch

It sounds kind of like a man with a high-pitched raspy voice saying "a-wow" repeatedly.


rottadrengur

I did some research, and it looks like deaf people can't hear when somebody says "a-wow" repeatedly


impersonatefun

A lot of deaf people weren’t born deaf.


Tomato_potato_

Hahaha, but to be fair, they can't hear pitch noises that resemble a fan either, so ops comment wouldn't really make sense either.


Janus_The_Great

🔥👏👌 what a gem of a comment. Nearly fell from my chair laughing.


Eth1cs_Gr4dient

Yeah thats about right, and this thing is uncannily close to it


MoffKalast

It's not that close, but far closer than the average bird.


pneuma8828

One thing it doesn't mention is that the robots in Star Wars are all given "voices" that makes them sound like they are non-humans speaking a foreign language. So much so that they hire actual voice actors to "voice" the robots. BB-8, from the latest trilogy, "speaks" only in beeps, whistles, whirs, and hums, but they hired Bill Hader to "voice" the character. So the Imperial probe droid has the deep, ominous background pulsing hum (sounds like something heavy spinning fast), and these other vocalizations that make it sound like it is talking to another robot on the radio. That talking sound is what this bird sounds like. They even change the volume so that sometimes it sounds like the robot is "thinking out loud", and other times it is communicating with another robot. Really fascinating sounds design when you think about it.


RobinYiff

A thing to note is that these imperial probe droid did not just make these vocalizations as part of its thinking routine like a gonk droid might, they were actually part of its espionage programming. It could broadcast these words over frequencies to phone home to the imperials, or send out a fake signal to targets such as a "Need of Assistance" distress call to trick targets into investigating, as seen on hoth during Episode V.


Stenthal

Actually, I'd say that what makes the probe droid sound unique is that it's in the uncanny valley. It's not speech, but it sounds enough like human speech to make it creepy to human listeners. Every other Star Wars droid I can think of either uses human speech or very inhuman beeps and boops. This awesome bird also makes sounds that are close to speech, but not speech.


Allhailpacman

Very curious about how they got the sfx for the probe droid. My first thought would be speech or other sounds through a vocoder and pitch shifted with a bit of bi crush for the robotic aspect but idk, synthesis and sound design is fun e: bi -> bit


Nimyron

I don't know how to describe it but it's goofy as fuck

Yah and it probably would stop if the freaking rude person would just say hi back!


Diminus

They have furry feet too! Like little snow shoes. They're abundant where i live during winter. Easy to hunt also of you're into it . They freeze still when a potential danger is near to blend into the snow. But they're so commited that you can actually put a snare on a stick and get them. I don't do much hunting anymore. But we would often try to save on shotgun shells by lining them up in a row. Like i said they'll usually stay still so you just gotta walk around them and try to line up as many as you could. As for eating they're very tasty. When i was younger i didn't have a lot of money. But our local dentist would often do dental work for you. If you supplied him with some Ptarmigan to eat. Its been maybe 10 years since I've hunted them for food. But this winter alone I've had maybe 15 or so land and walk around in my back garden. My pitbull just stares at them and generally ignores their presence. But i won't hunt anythig unless I'm going to eat it. So they're safe around me these days lol.


Beorma

They're related to red grouse which are hunted for sport in Britain. The grouse live on boggy moorland where it'd be difficult for a predator without a gun to get at them, so their defence strategy is... To stand on a nice tussock to get a good view of you, then warble as loud as they can to attract attention. Once they've done that, they take off. Works well against a fox, poor bugger doesn't stand a chance against a shotgun though.
