- iamcreasy 11y agoIncrease the volume. It's very low pitch track.
- to3m 11y agoWith the volume at maximum on my 2015 MBP I get sound... of some description, at least. It just doesn't sound much like it does through headphones. It sounds like speakers trying to reproduce something that's beyond them ;)
- Symbiote 11y agoMy computer is connected to an average HiFi and speakers (£300 / $500 worth) with an on-board soundcard. I didn't need to adjust the volume to hear the whale. It reminds me most of waiting on the platform of a very deep metro line, and hearing the rumbling of a different metro train, some way above. That, or the (apparently reasonably authentic) sounds played in a Sea Life centre.
- to3m 11y agoThe MBP's sound hardware might not have a problem with it, but I was using the MBP's built in speakers ;) They're generally pretty good on the newer models, I think, as laptop speakers go. My 3-word review might be "better than functional". So having heard them make a tolerable go of music and games I was interested to see how they'd manage 52Hz. The answer: badly.
- colechristensen 11y agoThat'll just be the speakers. Sennheiser HD 600 plugged into my MBP comes in loud and clear (or loud and eerily wobbling bass noise)
- Matthias247 11y agoEven on 8cm speakers you typically have a -3dB point between 100 and 150Hz. For the tiny speakers in notebooks and smartphones it should be even higher. That means they maybe could reproduce 100Hz, but at an extremely low volume. And 50Hz is well out of scope.
