Please take into consideration that the people who slowed the crickets down had very high-tech equipment. Also consider the pulsations in just one cricket churp. If you slow down the vibrations of the churp you will discover alternating/quavering octaves of sound. If you slow it down to 1/100 or so, as it is said they did with this recording, then you would get an amazing sound, and one not easily reproducible on amateur equipment. :)
I just downloaded Audacity after seeing this video to see for myself. I recorded chirping crickets from another youtube video for 20seconds. I then slowed it down to -80 and yes I can tell you it sounds just like this, but it isn't different sounds coming together to make a beautiful song like in this video. I believe all the sounds on this video are crikets but mixed to make a nice song.
I first heard this on a meditation tape and it changed a lot of things for me. It made me realise the natural state of existence without thought which is praise. Praise for the World is all around and it's beautiful. Thanks for posting.
I was glad to see that Churchofdave and aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs experimented with it and didn't just take it as truth without testing. I was also glad to see that they were able to duplicate the experiement at least to some extent. I don't have the know-how to do it myself, and thought it was a beautiful piece of music - but I but I did think the claims of its origins should be checked out - and it seems to have held up to experiment. Nothing wrong with questioning, keep up the good work, and thanks.
Fake. Completely fake. Ok. A human lives about a thousand times longer than a cricket (Cricket lives about 4 weeks, human lives about 70 years). Take a track of crickets chirping. Use something like Audacity (it's free, Google it), and slow it down by a factor of 1000 (use "change speed" at -50 percent ten times). What do you hear? Nothing. Why? Because the pitch is too low for your ears to hear (and probably too low for your speakers to play). Pretty music, but don't lie.
@ltgerbilmuffin Actually there is definitely a way to speed up and slow down "tempo's," if you will, without changing the pitch... DJ's use it all the time to match songs up with the sam BPM's (Beats Per Minute) so they fit together! Don't remember what the programs are called but I think one is called Melodyne (sp?)
@alyrljt777 Yes, audacity can do that too. I did it. It still doesn't sound like the recording. I then sped up this recording and tried to see if it would sound like cricket song. It sounded like cricket song with a sped up chorus thrown in. Clearly what's in this track is legit cricket song slowed down, but then with soupy sappy happy tunes thrown in on top to placate the new age morons. Actual legit cricket song slowed down by a factor of 8 or so actually sounds really cool and haunting.

i overtone and the other morning while walking and overtoning i HEARD the same thing in the insects in the grasses, we can all do this what a lovely idea!
After being presented with these sounds on other videos, I (a sound guy) set out to duplicate it using the described method. What I found was that it could not be duplicated. Feel free to try yourself with recordings of crickets and free sound software such as audacity.
Crickets "chirp" when you slow them down the sounds get further apart like clicks. They don't blend together like choral voices.
This sound track is not "only" slowed down crickets. It has been manipulated in others ways.
@thechurchofdave Did you do this with the sound of one cricket, or of the sound of many chirping at once?
I did it with many at once (also on audacity) and was able to nearly recreate the sound. It was slightly different, (I have no idea if this video is legit or not - that isn't my concern) but the sound I created was not clicking, it was - like tones of sound I guess. Sort of like this recording.
@thechurchofdave I'm also curious - I do not know how to re-do what is said to have been done to the sound, so I do not know if I did it correctly, however, I am capable of slowing things down and speeding them up. When I slowed cricket song down, i got something somewhat similar. I then got curious and ripped this track and. Disregarding sound pollution and the extra two layer track thing in which normal cricket song is played, you eventually come up with something that does resemble chirping.
Consider the differences between a standard frame rate camera and a high frame rate camera. If you don't get what I'm playing at, just remember that a cheap digital processor with a cheap digital recording will never be able to slow audio like analog tape.
@minimonkey252 I grew up and worked in film all my life. I am pretty sure I have held cameras in my hands which are worth more than the house you lived in. I was also a Hollywood union sound recordists in the old local 695 sound guild so I understand what you are trying to say but it is not a reasonable assumption.
All I did was tests to see how close it is and it's not close at all. Of course my tests would sound better with better equipment but the fact remains. Crickets only make clicks.
@thechurchofdave The very existence such amazing things prove them self to be of God. Science can't explain everything. Some things are just God sent. There's always gonna be a loophole in science that needs to be explained by something else. God is that something else. Happy you're enquiring though :) maybe you should ask God to show himself to you, then he can prove things in front of your own eyes and thats way better than anything that can be debated over youtube :)
@listenfreak That isn't proof. That is you asking that your guess be believed.
I will also point out that what you are listening to here is not all crickets.
I even tested it. Feel free to grab any track of crickets you like and free software such as audacity which will allow you to speed it up and slow it down. You will find it is impossible to recreate this.
You can also take this "slowed down" track and speed it up. It does not turn into crickets.
@d0md0mt0mt0m did you slow it down in real time? like if you speed up music without doing it in what is referred to as real time it sounds like the chipmunks on speed.
And, as Christians, you're forgetting one important factor of religious colonization... "If this land is not inhabited by Christians, then we will consider this land vacant and un-inhabited, and for our use" and "If you do not accept our faith, you will burn at the stake."
This is so beautiful to listen to. I just heard this this past weekend at a tuning fork class and fell in love with it. If we could only live in the vibration to really hear nature's music what an awesome world this would be!!!
@moonbeams12 ...yes, i agree,the 'normal' cricket detracts very much from hearing what the adjusted sound is,i already know what 'normal' crickets sound like,okay?
@MarkusHomer ...yes, i agree,the 'normal' cricket detracts very much from hearing what the adjusted sound is,i already know what 'normal' crickets sound like,okay?
Are we a Christain Country, NO were not. We do have Christain but not as many as you may think. Lets look at this country - abortions, Gay marriage,porn nation, this is just a few of the sexual sins this nation does day in and day out without end not to mention all the other junk in America closets. I'm sure their not Pleasing to the Lord. You can turn away from Sin and have everlasting Life through and Only through Jesus Christ! Give your Life to Jesus Christ and Live through Him.
One nation under GOD... sounds like a christian country to me. Maybe peoples actions in todays society are questionable and at times are down right despicable but that doesn't change what our founding fathers believed in and based the laws of the land on.
This is nonsense, our founding fathers weren't Protestant Christians, they were Masonic deists. It says One Nation Under God on our dollar bills first in order to fashion the country as an opposition to atheistic communism, and second because our money was taken off any precious metal standard, thus the currency requires faith in the benevolence of a heavenly force that sustains its dominance.
Our founding fathers may have not been proclaimed christians, but they were independent freethinkers. They wanted our country to have a freedom of choice and the right to what ever religion you choose. You said we're not a christian country, but we we're being fashioned to be one? Maybe not every person in this country is christian, but I believe our country chose it's direction under the guidance of GOD. We swear our presidents in with the bible.
It is not required by any law but still we choose to and have done so since the swearing in of George Washingon, with the exclusion of three presidents. A higher power was the basis for the thoughts, beliefs, heart and soul of the people who wrote the Constitution.
Abortion, gay marriage and porn aren't unchristian things. They aren't christian things, but that doesn't make them unchristian things either. They're just there. Christianity is not about telling people how bad they are and how wrong they are, but that God loves them anyway. America doesn't have many christians, but it has a lot of judgemental conservatives on high horses.
Please take into consideration that the people who slowed the crickets down had very high-tech equipment. Also consider the pulsations in just one cricket churp.
