Milo singing part of "Brand New Key" by Melanie Safka. A student of mine made an animation to this song as her final project and Milo saw me grading it...and now we sing it all the time.
Whistling sand or barking sand is sand that produces sound. The sound emission may be caused by wind passing over dunes or by walking on the sand. There are various theories about the singing sand mechanism. It has been proposed that the sound frequency is controlled by the shear rate. Others have suggested that the frequency of vibration is related to the thickness of the dry surface layer of sand. The sound waves bounce back and forth between the surface of the dune and the surface of the moist layer, creating a resonance that increases the sound's volume. The noise may be generated by friction between the grains or by the compression of air between them. Singing sand dunes, an example of the phenomenon of singing sand, produce a sound described as roaring, booming, squeaking, or the "Song of Dunes". The dune is one of the 30 singing sand dunes in the world. It requires the right combination of sand particle size, temperature and humidity for sand dunes to “sing”. However, they are not singing by themself. You need to slide on it to make an avalanche. The bigger avalanche the louder the sound is. The sound produced resembles “hoooooooooo…..” that Marcopolo described as the sound of the evil’s spirit. Singing sand dunes in Qatar located on the way to Mesaieed from Salwa Road, about 15 km from Salwa Road. Drive Salwa Road and take Exit 24 to Mesaieed. Follow 15 km, pass through 2 roundabouts until you find intersection to Al Kharara. Road to Al Kharara is a road belongs to QP for access to its transmission plant. This single carriageway road will lead you to pipe crossing where you will find fork intersection. This is the start oor a corner of rectangular road encircling singing dunes.
Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu, the Singing Ringing Tree is a 3 metre tall construction comprising pipes of galvanised steel which harness the energy of the wind to produce a slightly discordant and penetrating choral sound covering a range of several octaves. Some of the pipes are primarily structural and aesthetic elements, while others have been cut across their width enabling the sound. The harmonic and singing qualities of the tree were produced by tuning the pipes according to their length by adding holes to the underside of each.
Graffiti in support of the environmental movement in the 1980. This citizen activity was essential in leading to the singing revolution and reinstatement of the independence in 1991.
After the second half of our group arrived, we made our way over to a shady spot in the village, and all the villagers sat down under the trees in front of us. There were about 75 - 100 people sitting there with us, and Dr. Collins started singing some songs with the children.

Physicists of the world, I need your help!
This Singing Bowl was coaxed to life by my husband, years ago. He would wet his finger-tips, then move them back and forth very quickly over the rim, thus emmiting a high-pitched tone with low notes, as well.
But there was some hidden element, powerful enough to alter the dynamics of how the photo was captured on the film. This is not what I saw in the viewfinder of my Pentax (Superprogram).
He is moving very quickly so clearly, the image will be blurred; but we were in a dimly-lit room with a number of people, and there was a rather elaborate background behind him.
How is the photo so bright? Where did the people go? Why is the background not defined at all...?
Is there some "energy field" beyond the range of the static photographic film in my camera affected by vibrations from the sound emanating from the bowl?
The photo has not been retouched by software in any way.
While out earlier, I managed to get quite close to this Song Thrush who has been happily singing away on a regular basis recently throughout each day. It was a bit windy out there, but fortunately, the gusts didn't ruin the sound in the clips.
This one doesn't go far if you go a little too close, so after a short bit of time, it'll probably be in its favourite spot again either singing or looking for food on the ground :-)

Burnley's Panoptican,'Singing Ringing Tree',is a unique musical structure which overlooks the town of Burnley from its high position on crown point.
Constructed from pipes of steel stacked in layers,this panoptican takes the form of a tree and harnesses the energy of the wind to produce a low,tuneful song.
