7 desk speaker options for better sound quality - Komando

Your laptop’s internal speaker isn’t cutting it. Headphones are nice, but you still want to be able to hear your surroundings, too. It’s time to upgrade that speaker system. The right pair of PC speakers can make for deeper, richer sound while you work, edit videos or listen to music during the workday.

These speakers each offer something uniquely different, whether high quality at a low price, bass levels or driver sizes. In short, we’ve curated the best choices you can find on Amazon for desktop speakers. Let’s take a look.

Creative Pebble V2

Creative Pebble lets you pump out serious sound from your PC without pulling much power. At just 8W of power through a USB-C connection, these speakers include a 53” AUX cable and 47” USB-C cable to help you place them wherever you want in your setup.

Songs and audio with high treble will come through clear, though you don’t get much bass with these small drivers. Creative Pebble is best suited for basic use and listening to music, though they’re not quite suitable enough for editing videos or audio.

Redragon RGB desktop speakers

Redragon makes inexpensive PC accessories, but it surprised us with these deceptively powerful speakers. Both speakers are controlled through a panel on the left speaker, allowing you to control power and volume. It includes RGB lights with up to 6 different color modes.

These use basic USB power to your PC and a 3.5mm AUX wire. Unfortunately, the power cable is extremely short. These speakers are designed for use on a desktop that houses your PC or laptop. There’s surprisingly deep sound out of the small bass driver and excellent treble from the tweeter, which is perfect for gaming and music.

Logitech multi-device stereo speakers

Logitech takes us up a notch into audio and video editing territory. These speakers only use 5W of power and connect via Bluetooth or wired to your PC. With four medium-sized drivers, you get excellent sound and depth of field for editing projects.

These are mighty but compact. Because they can be used with Bluetooth, a single wire connects both speakers together so they can send information back and forth. These speakers hit the perfect middle-of-the-road price point and maintain a minimalist aesthetic on your desk without flashy lights or wild colors.

PreSonus Eris studio speakers

There’s a night and day difference between our other picks and PreSonus. These medium-sized speakers take up a lot of desk space and rumble when you peak these 3.5” drivers. Your tweeters are 1” with a silk cover for excellent clarity.

PreSonus also includes free software called Studio One Prime and Studio Magic. Audio engineers and editors use these to fine-tune the sound. The speakers include acoustic tuning to help create the perfect feedback even in echoey spaces.

AmazonBasics USB plug-and-play speakers

Let’s take a step back and bring some decent sound quality on a low budget. AmazonBasics is all about getting good quality at a low cost. You can get up to four small USB speakers for less than half the price of the PreSonus studio speakers we just looked at.

With high treble and a little bass, these speakers get the job done without offering any special perk besides their price. They take up a minimal amount of room on your desk. Just be wary of the short cables.

Creative T60 hi-fi desktop speaker set

With 2.75” drivers and a digital amplifier, you get intense sound without an intense price. Creative T60 eats up a lot of power at 60W, meaning you’ll have to plug it into its own power source separate from your PC.

Connect via Bluetooth, USB-C or AUX and enjoy the powerful acoustic support for larger spaces. Creative T60 uses BasXPort technology to deliver deeper sounds without having an enormous driver.

Sony wireless rear speaker system

Sony is the gold standard when it comes to audio. These speakers can be used for your PC or television, delivering 100 watts of power for loud, deep sounds. Sony includes a feature that fills the room with sound thanks to the omnidirectional sound block.

While these are designed to be used as a backing set of speakers for their A7000 and A5000 sound bars, they work excellently on their own to flood the room with deep, rich sound for an overall better listening experience.

PC speaker FAQs

You know you want deep sound, but you don’t know where to look: that’s okay. We’ve got you covered! Here are some quick FAQs to help you understand what to look for in your next pair of PC speakers.

Does the PC speaker driver size matter?

Yes. Larger drivers can produce different levels of sound waves. You need large drivers for deep bass (typically around 8” or so). You can use smaller drivers called tweeters (1” or so in size) for higher sounds. Some speakers, like the PreSonus pick on our list, will have bass drivers and tweeters to give rich depth of field.

Does 5.1 surround sound matter for PC speakers?

If you’re buying PC speakers for a studio setting, yes. For typical use, including video editing and listening to music, you don’t need 5.1 surround sound. For true 5.1 surround sound, you need five speakers and one subwoofer, which gets expensive and challenging to set up. If you see “2.0 sound” on a pair of PC speakers, that’s perfectly okay and will work for basic use.

Are better speakers just more expensive?

No, expensive is not always better when it comes to PC speakers. Larger drivers can produce deeper sound, which comes at a cost, but you don’t need to spend a fortune on PC speakers. If you’re sensitive to the small changes and nuances in your audio, high-end brands like Sony will produce a better sound. For most listeners, you don’t need to go all-out for a pair of high-quality PC speakers.

As nature declines, the sound of Spring is changing - BirdLife International

31 August 2022

We talk to Dr Simon Butler, Professor of Biology at the University of East Anglia, UK, about a pioneering study that analyses how spring bird song has changed over the past 25 years – and why it matters.

---

Why study the sound of bird song?

There’s a growing recognition of the benefits of spending time in nature for our health and well-being. At the same time, we’re experiencing widespread and ongoing biodiversity loss, meaning that the quality of our interactions with nature are also likely to be declining. Sound plays a key role in our experience of nature, with birds in particular providing the soundscape of time spent outdoors, so we wanted to examine how changes in bird populations are impacting the acoustic characteristics of natural soundscapes.

How did you obtain the soundscapes?

We don’t have many historical recordings of natural soundscapes. Instead, we reconstructed them by combining annual bird monitoring data from over 200,000 sites across North America and Europe with sound recordings for individual species. We inserted the same number of clips for a species as there were individuals counted. So, for example, if five Skylarks were recorded at a site, we inserted five 25-second clips of Skylark song. We then layered up the sound clips for each species to build a composite soundscape for each site that represented what it would have sounded like for the observer conducting the annual bird count.

How does the modern sound of Spring differ to how it did 25 years ago?

We found that acoustic diversity and intensity have declined across both North America and Europe over the past 25 years – that is, our natural soundscapes have become quieter and less varied. We also found that sites that have experienced the greatest declines in species richness or abundance also tend to show the greatest decline in soundscape quality.

Why is it important that the soundscape of bird song is changing?

Bird song has always been a defining component of our relationship with nature, and our results suggest that one of the key pathways through which we engage with, and draw benefits from, nature is in chronic decline. There is also a risk that as our soundscapes become quieter and less diverse, we also start to overlook or care less about their further deterioration. Worryingly, we know that other animals that contribute to natural soundscapes, such as insects and amphibians, are also declining, whilst road traffic and other sources of ‘human’ noise are increasing, which suggests deteriorations are likely to be even greater than those reported. By demonstrating the implications of biodiversity loss for our day-to-day lives, we hope this study can help heighten awareness and encourage support for conservation.

The sound of LA radio and how it could improve for local listeners - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my tuner shoot-out, in which I pitted three old-school analog AM stereo – FM stereo tuners against each other to find the best-sounding of the bunch. The Carver TX-11b won out with its superb sound and reception on both AM and FM, though all three had their merits.

Overall, I liked the Carver better than even the more modern Sangean HDT-1x — an HD Radio tuner that wasn’t officially part of the test but that I have used for quite some time due to its ability to decode digital AM and FM transmissions. It has arguably better sound on AM when HD broadcasts are available, and extra channels on FM.

The problem as of late is that HD radio on AM — the reason HD was originally invented — is pretty much gone. While there are many FM streams, the only HD station I know of locally on AM is K-Mozart (1260 AM), and they are too far away from me to decode the HD. But I continued using the Sangean due to a lack of space for the Carver.

That all changed recently when I changed how I watch television … I no longer need a large cable-type tuner. This not only opened up space in my entertainment center, it reduced interference on the AM band as cable and satellite tuners were notorious for causing interference on the band. So I took the time to switch things around and put the Carver back into service.

In doing so, I discovered something rather interesting. Now that KNX simulcasts on both AM (1070) and FM (97.1), I was able to make a direct comparison of the signals. Surprisingly, to my ears, at least, the sound from the AM signal is superior to that of the FM. The AM sounded bright and clean, the FM more muted on the highs.

Neither is in stereo, by the way. KNX decided after much fanfare taking the signal to FM that stereo wasn’t needed. And to be fair, it isn’t. But on AM, at least, stereo doesn’t affect the signal at all (multiplex stereo on FM can degrade the signal in some circumstances). Wouldn’t it be great for KNX to bring back analog AM stereo to the band in Los Angeles? Few could receive it, but there are still a decent number of analog AM stereo radios in cars from the late 1980s and 1990s. Would be kind of fun if the engineers would agree to the idea.

Speaking of KNX-FM

I recently wrote about the “real” KNX-FM, you know, the one that played the mellow sound on 93.1 FM during the 1970s and part of the 1980s. In that column, I mentioned that the pandemic slowed down the use of personalities on the online recreation at themellowsound.net; that caught the attention of Steve Marshall, part of the group behind the tribute and the original music director of the broadcast station, who wanted to correct my statement and give a little more history.

“I only just now got to read your recent article on the KNX/FM tribute Internet radio station,” Marshall wrote, “and I was thrilled, delighted and humbled by what you had to say about the original. I would like to correct one thing you got wrong…that none of the original ‘personalities’ were on board. First, Chris Ames, who voices The Odyssey File, was the original news director of KNX/FM throughout most of the 70s. Then there’s me: I was on the air there from 1970 through 1979. I started as Music Director and moved into the Program Director job in 1973.

“The format was cooked up by the original PD, Rodger Layng, and myself. We started as a kind of quasi, slightly hipper version of an MOR station and I refined it into what it ultimately became after I became PD. You were absolutely correct about the fact that we kept upper CBS management in New York in the dark about what we were doing. If you like, I can give you the details of that story another time.

“Anyway, back to the tribute station. Most of the promos and sweepers that you hear are me, though I don’t use my name on the station. I didn’t use it very much back then either, which is why I put the word ‘personalities’ in quotes. I always felt that the sound and atmosphere that we created were the real stars.”

Thank you, Steve. I do appreciate the note! Though to be clear, I wasn’t referring to the people behind the station, I mean that I knew that some of the original personalities were intended to be brought back to the station but that the pandemic prevented them from making it to the studio to do their shows.

And you can bet that I will be getting the details of the station’s history … sooner than later. Stay tuned!

Instagram fixes sound issue that hindered TikTok exports - The Verge

Instagram has fixed a recent bug that removed the sound from Reels video clips that were downloaded from the editing screen. The bug impacted iOS users and was detrimental to creators who use Reels as a filming tool and then export to other platforms, like TikTok.

After The Verge published a story about the issue, Seine Kim, a spokesperson for Instagram’s parent company, Meta, reached out to say the change wasn’t intentional and would be fixed. Kim said today that the issue was fixed in an update to Instagram released on Friday.

The issue appears to be resolved on my own iPhone. In a test this afternoon, I was able to download a clip from the Instagram Reels, complete with sound, the same as I could before the bug. This fix will help creators, including those at The Verge, get around TikTok’s poor editing features by using features like green screen in Reels for use in videos headed to other platforms.

TikTok and Instagram have been embroiled in a battle for short-form video domination, but Instagram has had to roll back some of its more aggressive TikTok-like features for the time being. This glitch may have been an unfortunate mishap, but it’s also a sign that TikTok needs to step up its editing tools.

Folsom Field To Debut New Sound System For 2022 Season - CUBuffs.com

Football August 29, 2022 David Plati, Associate AD/Sports Information

Story Links

BOULDER — The University of Colorado has installed a new sound system at Folsom Field that will be operational at the Buffaloes' season opener against TCU on Friday, Sept. 2.

The new, state-of-the-art system replaces the old one that was installed in 1996.  The main advantages of the new system, which cost approximately $1.8 million, will be:

• Significant increase in clarity and definition of voice and music;
• Substantial uniformity improvement throughout the stadium;
• Addition of Subwoofers for increased bass;
• System is designed to operate down to minus-4 degrees Fahrenheit (CU's only had two home games in its history where the temperature was 10 degrees or colder, one in 1911 and the other in 1931).

"We are extremely excited to introduce our new sound system to our fans for the home opener Friday night versus TCU," said CU's deputy athletic director, Jason DePaepe.  "We are proud to take this major leap forward in sound quality at Folsom Field for our fans and their overall game day experience."

"The team of AVI Systems, Populous Design, WJHW, CU Planning Design and Construction and our Athletic Department Construction Management staff did an incredible job of overcoming obstacles to get this system up and running before our first football game," DePaepe added.  "I would personally like to recognize the leadership and tireless efforts of Russell Allen, our technical director who coordinated the project for athletics and will be operating the system during home games."

The old system was powered by 13 dual channel amplifiers (26 channels total) delivering 14,100 watts; the new system is powered by 24 Dynacord IPX series 4 channel amplifiers (96 channels total) delivering 250,000 watts of power.

The eighteen JBL VLA (Very Large Array) speakers are mounted on either side of the BuffVision north videoboard to increase the height of the system and to improve coverage and uniformity; two additional VLA's cover the 200 level seating on the east side.  Sixteen JBL Subwoofers provide the bass. 

The remaining portion of the project will be making the 29 small format speakers in the Bryon White Club premium seating area operational.  They have been installed, but due to global supply chain issues, the amplifiers to power the speakers have not yet been delivered.  They are scheduled to be functional before CU's second home game (Sept. 24 against UCLA).

Other Facts:

• The system was designed by WJHW Sound Consultants;
• Populous, which helped design the Champions Center, provided logistical support; 
• AVI Systems is the system integrator;
• EMD Corp is the electrical contractor;
• Production Rigging manufactured the speaker frames and provided rigging support;
• Whitestone Construction, Mountain Man Welding and JK Welding provided steel and welding services;
• Duffy Crane did all the heavy lifting and speaker placement.

The TCU game will be televised nationally on ESPN with an 8 p.m. kickoff; season and single game tickets remain available at this time for the 2022 campaign.  Click here for more information and to purchase on line,

Beyond The Forecast: Sound from a Black Hole? - WSLS 10

Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of Beyond The Forecast!

Last week some astonishing news came from our friends at the National Atmospheric and Space Administration: NASA astronomers discovered a sound emanating from the center of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster more than 73,600,000 parsecs away from Earth (which is quite a bit longer than the Kessel Run); to translate that into somewhat more understandable terms, a parsec equals 19,173,511,575,400 miles. Let’s just say it’s a galaxy cluster far, far away.

A lightyear is about 5,879,000,000,000 miles and a parsec is more than 3 lightyears

But this fact didn’t quite sit right when it hit my ears. As the tagline to the movie “Alien” famously told us, “In space no one can hear you scream,” and on top of that, it’s generally understood that anything that falls into a black hole’s gravity has no hope of escaping. So just how can this sound exist?

As it turns out, there’s more going on than meets the eye in this instance (or ear if you prefer). Let’s start with how sound travels first.

A good contrast to the way sound travels is light. Light particles (photons) travel from light sources all on their own. They don’t need to move through anything to reach us. That’s why light from the sun can reach us even though there’s nothing but empty space to pass through until it reaches the atmosphere.

Light can travel without a medium to go through until it reaches something that either absorbs or reflects it

Sound, on the other hand, needs something to move through. Photons are independent pieces of energy, but sound is a wave of pressure that transfers from molecule to molecule. If someone snaps their fingers the air between their finger and their palm gets compressed as the finger moves down and then rapidly expands outward. That compression and expansion travel through the molecules in the air until it reaches your ears. Specialized bones and nerves are able to detect that change in pressure and our brains interpret that as sound.

The expansion of energy after a compression travels through a medium like air, here represented by the A's, until it reaches your ears

The Perseus Cluster goes through a process that in some ways is very similar to a finger snap. The black hole at its center moves and sends pressure waves out. If the black hole was all on its own, it wouldn’t matter how much it moved: if there is no medium for the pressure wave to travel through, it stops when it reaches the end of the medium. The Perseus Cluster is special in that the hundreds or possibly thousands of galaxies within it carry a massive amount of space dust and gases. They are packed closely enough that the wave can travel from the black hole at the cluster’s center out to its extremities. Astronomers can map how the wave moves and turn it into a sound.

The Perseus Galaxy Cluster is named because, when looking from earth, the galaxies fit within the Perseus constellation

The raw sound of those waves is far too low for humans to hear. NASA reconfigured the data and brought the pitch up by almost 60 octaves. That’s high enough that we can actually hear the same pattern that the cluster experiences.

The answer to the first question (how does the sound travel) answered my second question (how did something get transmitted by the black hole). This is less an example of something coming out of a black hole than it is an example of inertia. The black hole moving creates a compression of some particles that then expands and propagates itself along the length of the cluster.

While you may not be able to hear galaxies on a regular basis, you can always see us on 10 News for the latest forecast. You can download our weather app for information on how our weather changes this week and get Meteorologist Chris Michaels’ latest updates online.

A childhood friendship shapes the sound of band Lovely Colours - knkx.org

Last week, we heard from the up and coming artist Taye$ty who passed the aux cord to the indie pop band Lovely Colours. The band consists of two childhood friends, one of whom Taye$ty knows well.

"His [Devin Damitio] lyrics are a lot more relevant to our generation... he just knows how to convey a bigger message to my generation especially and I’d say that’s really important," Taye$ty said.

Devin Damitio is the lead singer and guitarist of the Seattle band Lovely Colours. His childhood friend James Raymond Rosales plays bass. And although they’ve been playing music since they were kids, it wasn’t until recently that they started writing songs together.

"For the past few songs we sat together, at least lyrically, and wrote out a bunch of the lyrics," Rosales said. "The first song that comes to mind, I think, is "Things You Do," which was the first song that we really sat down in the studio together and were like line-by-line, let's go over this and make sure that we like all the words and it makes sense." 

Previously, Damitio mainly wrote the songs and brought them to the band, which also includes Steven Bingham and Patrick May. But their new music has been more collaborative, especially between Damitio and Rosales.

"It's good because James is like a great filter for me," Damitio said. "If I'm not feeling confident about lyrics I can be like 'hey man how’s this?' and he’ll be really nice and help out and try and pump it up and make it better and stuff. So it’s a great dynamic we have."

Damitio and Rosales' friendship started back in middle school in Juneau, Alaska thanks to a mutual love for Blink-182.

"We were both getting into, like punk rock music and alternative music kind of at the same time. And then we happened to meet each other through wearing Blink-182 shirts," Rosales said.

When they met, they were playing in separate bands.

"Both our bands were covering all that type of music and I would go see Devin's band shows and they would play, you know, Blink songs," Rosales said. "So I would have to be like, okay, they played these Blink songs, so our band has to play these other Blink songs, like just to make sure we weren't playing the same Blink songs."

They didn’t really start playing music together until the two bands merged together. At that point though, they were still doing a lot of covers. Damitio and Rosales used to live right across the street from each other.

They’d spend nights listening to their favorite pop punk bands and sharing the music they were working on. That was until Damitio moved to Olympia with his family in 2009, but the two stayed in touch.

"Whatever we had going on at any point, even if it was just like some demos or something, we'd always take some time to listen to it and talk to each other about it," Damitio said.

A decade later, Damitio and Rosales were living in the same city again – this time it was in Seattle. Damitio had started a new band and knew one person he had to have in the new group.

"When I was starting to write some more music, I was like, I got to get him in my band," Damitio said.

The same idea was also on Rosales mind.

"I was over here like, I hope Devin calls me...," Rosales laughed.

Rosales reflected on their nearly two decade-long friendship and what keeps it going:

"With music we have so much overlap like... we come from such a small town that when you find someone who has similar interests in you, like you're automatically...even more connected to that person."

During the early part of the pandemic. Rosales learned how to mix and record so that the band could do it themselves. Which is one of the ways they’ve been able to hone their sound.

"We used to rely on people to mix our music to what they thought our band sounded like and now we can kind of just do it the way we want it to sound like," Damitio said.

When it comes to describing the sound of Lovely Colours, you might think of indie pop bands like Young the Giant or the Postal Service. Their sound is fun and has a catchy melody.

This year has been big for the band. They played Capitol Hill Block Party in July and have a debut EP coming out this fall.

It’s not lost on Damitio and Rosales how far they’ve come both as individual musicians, but also as friends who dreamt of what they’re doing now. Especially any time they revisit home videos of their middle school band from Juneau.

"We'll have, like, a late night every once in a while and we'll just be like let's watch them together. So we'll watch and just kind of laugh, but also be like look at us now. Still doing it, baby," Damitio said. 

Since this is our last installment of Aux Cord Privileges (for now) instead of passing the aux to another artist, we asked Rosales and Damitio a different aux cord question: If the other person was given the aux cord on a road trip, what would they put on the stereo?

Damitio: "I know I could rattle off a few bands for sure. But I want to say that like if you, James, are driving and you're like, we're in a desert somewhere on a road trip and you plug in the aux, you're probably going to play...you're probably going to play Death Cab..."

Rosales: "Devin is really good at putting me on like newer kind of artists all the time, so I would want to say an artist like Khruangbin."

Damitio: "There it is. Nailed it."

What Is a Sound Bath? The Benefits of Frequency Healing - Brightly

The latest relaxation practice to infiltrate the trendscape: sound baths. With climate anxiety at an all-time high—45% of young people say it impacts their daily lives—there has never been a better time to re-up your meditation practice. And as it turns out, the simple addition of sound may be the key to maximizing your mindfulness.

Healing through sound has seen a rise in popularity in recent years, featuring on TikTok, at your local yoga studio, and in the feeds of celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Lizzo (the latter’s meditative videos, which featured her signature flute, were a balm at the top of the pandemic; the former is a fan of crystal singing bowls). The concept of using certain audio frequencies and music to wind down is nothing new, but the latest (and buzziest) iteration seems like it may be here to stay.

But what exactly is a sound bath, anyway?

What Is a Sound Bath?

“To put it simply, a sound bath is just another form of meditation,” say partners Justin Ballatore and Jami Avery of The DEN Meditation in Los Angeles. “To us, a sound bath is an opportunity to break free from the busy day-to-day to experience deep healing on a cellular level through vibration.”

Sound baths aim to calm anxiety and promote positive shifts in the body through (you guessed it!) sound. To do this, practitioners—or simply musicians—use Tibetan or crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, flutes, and various other instruments, playing notes and songs as participants relax on a mat and soak up the sound.

“Most sound baths are between 30 to 90 minutes and our goal is to have each guest as comfortable as possible,” says Avery, who adds that participants use blankets and pillows for optimal coziness. “Experiences at sound baths vary depending on the frequencies used in the session and how they translate to the person. Some fall asleep. Others have wild out-of-body experiences, see colors, or experience a range of emotions as they move through different sounds.”

Utilizing the power of sound in healing or worship practices is nothing new, with deep (and augmented) roots around the world, and sound baths are separated from music therapy through the addition of a meditative element. “It feels incredibly soothing and relaxing as if you are tuning your body to a steady frequency,” says Suze Yalof Schwartz, CEO of Unplug Meditation, where teachers rely on crystal bowls, Koshi chimes, and ocean drums.

Music’s power to bring people together and the comfort that comes with well-chosen notes seem to be among the main draws of a modern sound bath. But, if you ask fans of the practice, they count vibrational frequency, and its power to promote positive changes in the body, as a bonus as well. 

Healing Through Sound

According to UCLA Health, music can regulate breathing, increase oxygen throughout the body, and lower cortisol levels (aka reduce stress) while improving immunity.

“Because our bodies are made primarily out of water, the frequencies used at our sound baths have the potential to create impactful shifts,” says Avery. The claims of ease are backed by relatively new research: One study says that Tibetan music is effective in reducing nervousness, tension, and fear in patients pre-surgery, while another notes that the practice is effective in boosting overall well-being, mental and physical.

While more research is needed to determine the exact effects, and the why of them (hertz promoting deep relaxation and mood affecting physiology are two common theories), the ancient and universal power of sound serves as a proof point in itself. And really, why not up the ante on your meditation game with some soothing sound?

How to Give Yourself a Sound Bath

Start with an instrument or sound frequency that feels comforting to you.

“Maybe you’re just ringing a bell as you sit, or you may find a way to mindfully circle the outside of your crystal bowl as you close your eyes—these frequencies feel good even when you create them for yourself,” says Ballatore. “When you are able to implement sound into your at-home meditation (even if it’s your own voice), it adds a level of ritual that helps the body and mind prepare for stillness.”

For a bit of additional guidance, apps like Unplug: Meditation from the aforementioned studio offer pre-recorded sound bath sessions from some of the world’s top healers. “Plug in your headphones, cover your eyes with an eye mask or piece of clothing, lay down in your bed, and just melt into the sounds,” says Yalof Schwartz.

We’re feeling more relaxed already.

The Spookiest Sound in Astronomy - The Atlantic

Ah, the sounds of late summer. Pass a pool, and hear the happy yelps of kids splashing around. Sit outside at night, and bask in the soothing buzz of cicadas hidden in the trees. Open the internet, and hear the terrifying howling of outer space.

Thank NASA for that last one. The space agency recently shared a clip online of sound coming from a cluster of galaxies about 250 million light-years from Earth. NASA, always eager to show off its capacity to produce cosmic wonder, presented the audio enthusiastically, as if to say, Wow, check out this cool thing! And although the transformation of space phenomena into something detectable by our human ears certainly seems like an exciting exercise, the reality is—well, have a listen.

The noise sounds like a ghostly wail, or the horror-movie music just before a jump scare, or, as several people have pointed out, the cries of countless souls trapped in eternal darkness. Just nothing good; less awe-ful, and more awful. Does space really sound this scary?

The answer is, sort of. And there is a perfectly horror-free explanation for it. Some parts of space are full of hot gas, including the medium between the distant, sparkly galaxies huddled together. In 2002, when a NASA space telescope named Chandra studied the Perseus cluster, it detected wavelike movements in the gas, propagating outward like ripples in water. The ripples, scientists determined, were produced by the supermassive black hole in the cluster’s central galaxy. When the black hole sucks in cosmic material, it burps some out—explosive behavior that pushes around the gas nearby. The resulting waves, astronomers concluded, were sound waves, with a frequency much too deep for any of us to hear.

It wasn’t until recently that Kimberly Arcand, Chandra’s visualization scientist, decided to shift those impossibly low cosmic notes into the audible range. She wanted the public, and particularly those who are blind or have reduced vision, to be able to experience the wonder of the Perseus cluster with senses besides sight. Arcand told me she was inspired by Wanda Díaz-Merced, a blind astrophysicist who developed a program to convert sunlight into sound so that she could hear a solar eclipse sweeping across the United States in 2017. Arcand and her team extracted the sound data from Chandra’s observations and then, with some mathematical work and sound editing, brought them into the range of human hearing, a couple hundred quadrillion times higher than the original frequency. The result: a spooky, cosmic wail.

Arcand and her team at Chandra have previously made a variety of celestial images into music through a process known as sonification, but those projects were based on light, not sound. Consider the glittering, star-filled center of our Milky Way galaxy. To hear it, scientists assigned different sonic features to the cosmic material in a snapshot of the galaxy. Stellar stuff at the top of the image corresponds to higher pitches; the brightest bits play at top volume. Short notes represent stars, and a drawn-out hum indicates clouds of gas and dust. The image features observations in multiple wavelengths, which scientists used to make a more beautiful song: xylophone for X-rays, violin for optical light, piano for infrared.

The melody of our galactic center sounds lovely, peaceful. Most of the sonifications in Chandra’s library do too, even the clips that lack instrumental elements and feature only a jumble of notes. They are nothing like the primal scream of the Perseus cluster, which the Chandra team released in May this year. “The Perseus one is perhaps the most evocative because it is actually based on sound waves,” Arcand said. It’s more objective, which makes the noise feel a bit more real. At the same time, the cosmic wail wouldn’t sound exactly like this if you could hang out in the Perseus galaxy cluster with a helmet and superpowered hearing. The spooky audio is a combination of the sound waves emanating from the central galaxy in different directions, not a single scream in time. Still, “this is as close as we know how to get,” she said.

When I asked Arcand what she thought about the sound freaking people out, she cracked up. “I just feel bad,” she said. Arcand grew up singing in choirs, and for her, the Perseus audio is musical, like a dramatic tune from an emotional, sweeping Hans Zimmer track. She has worked on the Chandra mission for more than two decades, and being so intimately familiar with the data, she was unlikely to be spooked by it, even when it sounds like, you know, that. “I didn’t hear anything scary in it,” she said, but “I totally understand that other people have a different perspective.” Scientists and sound engineers could certainly edit the clip to make it less creepy, mixing in some chimes or nice harp chords. But this is space putting on a little performance, and we may as well experience it as the artist intended.

Exclusive: Sonos' next flagship speaker will play sound in nearly all directions - The Verge

After spending 2022 focused on midrange products like the Ray and the rollout of its own voice service, Sonos is about to shift its attention back to upscale devices. Aside from the upcoming, delayed Sub Mini, the company is also at work on a completely new high-end speaker codenamed Optimo 2.

The Verge has viewed early, work-in-progress images of Optimo 2, and it marks a substantial evolution in design compared to Sonos’ existing products, such as the Sonos One, Five, Arc, Beam, and Roam. Encased in a funky, dual-angled shell, the new device will be positioned as the best-sounding speaker that Sonos has ever produced. It includes an arsenal of drivers, including several that fire in different directions from beneath the shell between the front speaker grille and backplate. The 3D recreation above is bronze-colored, but Optimo 2 will likely stick to Sonos’ traditional white and black color choices. The device’s frontside is shown in our image, with the vertical rectangle indicating where the Sonos logo will be.

Size-wise, it looks to resemble something like the Sonos Five / Play:5. According to people familiar with the product, Optimo 2 includes twice as much RAM and as much as eight times more flash memory than any previous Sonos speaker. It’s a powerhouse clearly designed with a long road of software support ahead.

If current plans stay on track, Optimo 2 will become the swiss army knife of Sonos speakers. It’ll support music playback over Wi-Fi like all of the company’s products but also Bluetooth audio. So far, Bluetooth playback has been limited to portable hardware like the Move and Roam. Intriguingly, the company is also considering USB-C line-in playback for the device. That would make it the only other modern Sonos speaker aside from the Five to offer line-in capabilities. (The Sonos Five has a more traditional 3.5mm aux input.) With the help of built-in microphones, Optimo 2 will feature automatic sound tuning to optimize its performance in various settings. Those mics will also support Sonos Voice Control. As always, some of these features may be scrapped and absent from the final, shipping product.

Do you know more about Sonos’ Optimo program or upcoming products? You can message me securely with Signal at 845-445-8455 without revealing your identity. Alternatively, you can reach me via email: welch@theverge.com, or through Twitter DM @chriswelch.

With its array of drivers (including one that appears to be upward-firing), Optimo 2 will be a showcase for Dolby Atmos audio. But it’s just one piece of the puzzle. The Verge can report that Optimo 2 is the lead product in a trio of in-the-works devices, which will also include an Optimo 1 and Optimo 1 SL. “SL” designates that the latter will not include built-in microphones. The three products are intertwined with a major forthcoming update to Sonos’ software platform that will unlock new functionality.

Mics aside, specific differences between the three Optimo devices could not yet be learned. Theoretically, Optimo 2 could serve as a successor to the Sonos Five, which hasn’t seen a meaningful redesign in years. That would leave Optimo 1 and 1 SL to fill the role of smaller smart speakers or satellite speakers in Sonos surround sound systems. Home theater has become a critical part of the company’s business.

Earlier this month, Sonos reported rocky third-quarter earnings, blaming rampant inflation and the dollar’s appreciation for a miss on revenue. The company also revealed that it had pushed back the planned release of a new product — almost certainly the Sub Mini — until the first fiscal quarter of 2023, which falls between October and December of this calendar year.

“Softening consumer demand across our product categories had an outsized impact on Roam,” CEO Patrick Spence said on the quarterly investor call, also noting that the $279.99 Sonos Ray soundbar “is significantly missing our expectations for the year” due to the same weakened demand.

But Spence maintained an optimistic outlook. “We’re focusing on what we can control at this point. We are investing in a tremendous amount of new innovation and new products that we think are going to help us come out of these macroeconomic headwinds in an even stronger position.” Optimo 2, Optimo 1, and Optimo 1 SL will be central to that innovation and steady product pipeline.

During its fiscal 2022, Sonos released the second-gen Beam, Roam SL (plus new Roam colors), the Sonos Ray, and Sonos Voice Control. It also made acquisitions, including that of Mayht Holding BV, a company that Sonos claims “has invented a new, revolutionary approach to audio transducers” that allows them to be smaller and lighter without affecting quality.

The Verge has reached out to Sonos for comment.

NASA lets you hear the sound of black hole - Mashable

In space, no one can hear you scream – unless you're a supermassive black hole.

NASA made this very apparent on Sunday, sharing what the agency described as the sound of a black hole, available to human ears in listenable format.

And if you're wondering how the hell does sound travel in the vacuum of space, NASA has an explanation.

"The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole," NASA's account dedicated to exoplanets tweeted.

Tweet may have been deleted (opens in a new tab)

The galaxy cluster you're "hearing" is Perseus, the data comes from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the recording was released back in May for NASA's Black Hole Week. As NASA explained it back then, "Astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster’s hot gas that could be translated into a note — one that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C."

To us, it just sounds like a beginning of a very sinister dubstep track.

Black holes can be "sonified" in much more pleasing ways, though. NASA also has a sonification of the black hole located around 54 million light years away at the center of Galaxy Messier 87, or M87 (you can listen below). Yes, this is the one captured in humanity's first image of a black hole through the Event Horizon Telescope. The track uses data captured from several telescopes — the Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile — and maps the wavelengths to a different range of audible tones. The result, while very far from actual sound a black hole makes, is something you might enjoy at your next yoga session.

NASA has produced similar sonifications of a distant galaxy and the sound of each time an exoplanet was discovered. The agency has even recorded the eerie, extraterrestrial sounds of Mars.

What does space sound like? NASA unveils the chilling harmony of a black hole - SILive.com

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Space has a voice after all.

The Exoplanets NASA team shared booming content across social media on Sunday that corrects a long-standing misconception: There is no sound in space.

“The misconception,” tweeted @NASAExoplanets, “that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound.”

The organization, a wing of NASA responsible for seeking other planets and life beyond this solar system, said the noise was amplified and mixed with other data, “to hear a black hole.” You can hear the (chilling?) result below.

The tweet garnered more than 332,000 likes as of this writing, and the clip has been played at least 10.4 million times. One publication described the noise as “creepy.” Another said “haunting.” “Horrifying” and “demonic” were other adjectives used.

One reporter tweeted it “sounds like the wailing of billions of souls trapped forever in Hell! They are calling for your blood!”

And then there’s the Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up” version.

Scientists fine-tune 'tweezers of sound' for contactless manipulation of objects - Phys.org

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully enhanced technology to lift small particles using sound waves. Their "acoustic tweezers" could lift things from reflective surfaces without physical contact, but stability remained an issue. Now, using an adaptive algorithm to fine-tune how the tweezers are controlled, they have drastically improved how stably the particles can be lifted. With further miniaturization, this technology could be deployed in a vast range of environments, including space.

As anyone standing next to a loudspeaker can attest to, sound waves can exert a real, physical force. With the right arrangement of speakers at the right frequency, amplitude, and phase, it becomes possible to superimpose those waves and setup a field of influence which can push, lift and hold physical objects. Such acoustic tweezer technology promises completely contactless, contamination-free manipulation of small objects.

Last year, Dr. Shota Kondo and Associate Professor Kan Okubo from Tokyo Metropolitan University realized contactless lift and movement of millimeter-sized particles using a hemispherical array of small, ultrasound transducers. The transducers would be driven individually according to a unique algorithm, allowing them to set up fields of sound pressure which ultimately lifted and moved objects. However, the stability of their "acoustic tweezers" remained an outstanding issue.

(right) “Acoustic tweezers” lifting a particle and keeping it in place as the whole array is moved by hand. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University

Now, the same team have come up with a way of using the same setup to achieve significant enhancements in how they can lift particles from rigid surfaces. There are two "modes" in which the transducers can be driven, where opposing halves of their hemispherical array are driven in and out of phase. The team's new insight is that different modes are more suited to doing certain things.

Starting with a particle on a surface, an "in-phase" excitation mode is better at lifting and moving the particle close to the surface, with accurate targeting of individual particles only a centimeter apart. Meanwhile, an "out-of-phase" mode is more suited to bringing the lifted particle into the center of the array. Thus, using an adaptive switching between the modes, they can now leverage the best of both modes and achieve a well-controlled, stable lift, as well as more stability inside the trap once it is lifted.

This is an important step forward for a futuristic technology that could one day be deployed to manipulate samples which need to be kept strictly contamination free. The team also hopes that it might find practical application in space one day, where competing against gravity is not an issue. The current study is published in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics.

How to change the Slack notification sound - KnowTechie

Slack notification sounds can help you to keep tabs on all of your important work notifications, whether you’re at your desk or on the go.

You are also not limited to the default Knock Rush notification sound, however. There are a few other options to choose from when configuring your Slack notification sound.

If you work multiple jobs and belong to different Slack channels, you can easily distinguish incoming notifications by setting different notification sounds for each channel.

What’s more, you can configure your Slack notification sound on your desktop as well as on the Slack mobile app, ensuring you don’t miss a thing, whether at your desk or at a coffee shop.

How Slack notification sounds work

Image: Unsplash

To get Slack notifications, you have to first enable notifications on your desktop as well as on your mobile. We’ll show you how to do that in a bit.

By default, Slack only notifies you about direct messages (DMs), mentions, and keywords. However, you can easily change this to receive notifications for all new messages, messages directed to you (including mentions and keywords), or nothing at all.

Also, by default, Slack desktop notifications, once enabled, are delivered via Slack for Windows 7, and via the Windows Action Centre for Windows 10 and later.

Changing your Slack notification sound on desktop

Here’s how to change your Slack notification sound on your desktop.

1. First, enable Slack notifications. To do so, open the Slack desktop app or sign in to your Slack account.

2. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of your screen and click on Preferences. You can also click on your organization’s name in the left pane and select Preferences
   

3. Click on the Notifications button in the left pane, then click on the green Enable desktop notifications button to your right if you haven’t enabled it previously

4. Click Allow in your browser’s pop-up to enable notifications. Ensure that you grant permission to Slack to access your microphone if you have a pop-up blocker, otherwise, you may be unable to access the sound notification settings

5. Under the Notify me about… section, change your preference from Nothing to either of the other available options
   

6. Now, scroll all the way down to the “Sound and appearance” section. You can uncheck the “Include a preview of the message in each notification” box for extra privacy

7. Click on the Notification sound dropdown (showing the default sound, Knock Brush)
   

8. Select from the available notification sounds. You can also set notification sounds for Huddles, when you send a DM, or when you receive a DM while still in an ongoing conversation

9. When you select a sound, Slack will play a preview of it. If you don’t like the sound, try another one until you find one you like

10. When you’re done, click on the x button to close the Preferences dialog box

Changing your Slack notification sound on mobile

Changing your Slack notification sound on mobile is also as easy and straightforward as on the desktop app. Here’s how to change your Slack notification sound using the Slack mobile app.

1. Open the Slack mobile app

2. Tap on the You button in the bottom-right corner of your screen

Image: KnowTechie

3. Tap on Notifications, then tap on System options

Image: KnowTechie

4. Tap on Sound. If you can’t find the “Sound” option, then you’ll need to grant app permissions to Slack to use your microphone. To do so, go to your home screen and long-press on the Slack app > App permissions > Microphone > Allow

Then repeat the preceding steps above, i.e., You > Notifications > Sound. Upon tapping Sound this time around, you should see the option to select sounds

Image: KnowTechie

5. Scroll through the options and select a category

6. Scroll through the list and make a selection by tapping on the bell icon

Image: KnowTechie

7. Tap Ok to confirm your selection and wait for it to download. It will be applied automatically

That’s all you need to do to change your Slack notification sound to your preferred tone on your mobile phone. The process is essentially the same on Android and iOS.

Perhaps your idea of changing your Slack notification sound is to mute it altogether. In that case, go to Profile > Preferences > Notifications > Sound and appearance > Mute all sounds from Slack.

Different notifications to keep you abreast

There are other ways you can manage your Slack notifications so that you never miss a thing. You can configure channel-specific notifications, email notifications, keyword notifications, and mentions notifications.

You can also set your badge notification preferences for unread messages, mobile notification timing, set up a notification schedule, and adjust your notification triggers.

This is essential for users who belong to multiple Slack channels. In that case, it is also a good idea to set up different notification sounds for different channels.

This way, you can tell without looking, which of your Slack channels received a notification just by the notification sound.

Have any thoughts on this? Carry the discussion over to our Twitter or Facebook.
