When I was a youngster, there were several small rivers and creeks in my area that had clear water and large, dry, blindingly white sand bars in the turns. We could easily identify the sand bars that would squeak (we called it "barking" because it sounded like a seal vocalizing). We instinctively knew why it squeaked, the grains were clean, dry, and mostly round quartz. We could also see a slight electric glow on dark nights, and we thought the piezo action also had something to do with the sound.

All my head is thinking is... with the right size grained sand, you could now play sand as a musical instrument, you would have to have at least maybe 7 different grain sizes and diverse your feet or striking implement.

I could tell the channel was highly underrated after watching the first 40 seconds.

The beach sand on the Southern end of Lake Michigan does that when we walk across it. We called it "Singing Sands"

I first encountered this phenomenon in a beach in Rogowo Poland. Coming from Greece and being used to regular sand, the squeak made most of us kids think it was fake plastic hahaha. So interesting honestly.

I found a dune with sound once. In Libya. I would show it on google maps, but there is no sign. To describe the location: You need to follow the coastal road south from Benghazi to Adschdabiya then south on the Kufra road to Jalu. From there about 50km to east- southeast. There is a oil and gas production plant from Agip that is not found in google maps. Besides that is a row of dunes. I went to the top and ran down the lose sand side with the heels deep in an got that hum and vibration. When you are wondering how i got there, i worked in another oil production near Jakharra, 20km north west of Jalu. There were three more stations, one app 10km west of that Agip plant, then one 5km south of Jalu and a third one app 50km southeast of Jalu.

I love when the natural phenomena of a region make you go, "Yeah, that's freaky. It makes perfect sense that the local cultures came up with X mythical being to explain it."

I love how your videos stop to give in-depth explanation of physical processes, computation, etc.. needed to really understand the curiosities you're showing. This reminds me a lot of the original Cosmos, with Carl Sagan, and is something I miss from many current documentaries.

In 2001 i went to "Porto Seguro" Brazil , and most of the beaches did that sound! I though it was a common thing in white sands beaches-

As a kid I always thought beach sand that squeaked as you walked was normal. Then we went on holiday and the beach sand looked different, I remember it was that kind-of reddy-brown colour instead of the normal blinding white, and I was surprised to discover it didn't squeak when I walked on it. I was very confused. When I asked my Dad about it, he just said not all beaches have squeaky sand. And now I know why!

If you live in the Southeastern USA, traveling to the beach in Destin, Florida is a great location that has squeaky sand. It's nice pure white sand. I grew up going to that beach, so I just assumed it was normal.

First time seeing this channel but this was such a great presentation. You have the answer to the main topic from almost the start but kept weaving interesting points one after another with a great way of showcasing them that kept me interested into keep watching. Amazing video.

Someone should write a horror book about special dunes with some sort of terrifying creature. When anyone attempts to cross, they disturb the sand, causing the singing...drawing in the creature.
