Screeching Sound of Peeling Tape
- qlm 7mo ago"The screeching of peeling tape is a familiar albeit annoying sound." I don't find it annoying, I quite like it. The only time I've experienced "ASMR" was from somebody peeling tape next to me.
- ericyd 7mo agoAgree, it really depends on the tape for me. Painters tape has quite a nice sound as it's peeled
- klondike_klive 7mo agoI really like the doppler effect (?) of the sound as the tape gets longer.
- boothby 7mo agoNot the Doppler effect. The tone gets lower, the wavelength increases, with the increasing length of the resonating body.
- leni536 7mo agoScotch tape just keeps on giving in science.
- icosian 7mo agoFor a long time after my daughter was born, I wasn't sure if she could hear or not. I tried to get her to react / turn her head / wake up to voice, music, claps... Nothing. One day I was taping up a box behind her and I pulled out a length of packing tape. It made that awful screeching noise and she was startled. It was a repeatable result. Her hearing was fine, she was just super chilled about noise in general. I found her limit with a roll of tape.
- awakeasleep 7mo agoJust where my mind went while reading the abstract. Babies hate this sound!
- mhb 7mo agoTo them, it's like a baby crying.
- dmd 7mo agoThese days infants' hearing (including my own two childrens') are tested at birth, without them having to participate in the process at all (they can even be asleep)! https://www.audiology.org/consumers-and-patients/children-and-hearing-loss/newborn-hearing-screening/ https://www.audiology.org/consumers-and-patients/children-an...
- etrautmann 7mo agoThis was a surprisingly satisfying and interesting read. Cool setup and delightfully random but well answered question.
- HelloUsername 7mo agoCan also be used for apple biting sound effect
- NackerHughes 7mo agoWhy not, you know, bite an apple?
- OptionOfT 7mo agoI remember buying the Scotch Magic Tape, the matte one. I was surprised that it didn't make the sound. Probably because it's a little bit more flexible?
- birdsongs 7mo agoI found "quiet" packing tape recently. I bought it, while highly skeptical, for my last move. It was barely more expensive. I don't recall seeing it before. Super pleasant, did not make the rip crackle squeal sound at all.

- elteto 7mo agoThat’s really cool. Scotch tape is just weird, peeling it also generates x-rays (in a vacuum): https://www.technologyreview.com/2008/10/23/217918/x-rays-made-with-scotch-tape/amp/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2008/10/23/217918/x-rays-ma...
