there was a hoax video based on extracting audio from ceramics thrown on a potters wheel in 2006. It's an idea -- paleoacoustics -- that's popped up a few times in scientific speculation and science fiction: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002875.html http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002875.h...
- chrischen 5y agoWe’re able to extract audio out of a video of a leaf by analyzing the physical vibrations. Surely some natural phenomena over the centuries would have inadvertently encoded some signal in some process.
- hattmall 5y agoI read there was a sound recording of the explosion in Pompeii I think. But it was kinda, hmm, because yes there's some record of vibrations and stuff, but it seems like a big stretch to really say it is the actual sound of the volcano that one might have heard. Though I guess technically, it is.
- chrischen 5y agoIf there's no calibration of the recording method then it may be difficult or impossible to reproduce the sound.
