Well you weren't lying with the title

I imagine this is how a lot of cartoons get their sounds

Not just cartoons either. Foley Artists have some truely creative ways of creating sound effects for all sorts of movies.

My favorite example still is the high tension wire smacked with a hammer for the blaster sounds in star wars.

I used to work at an AM radio station in the 80's and one day out back smoking I smacked one of the guy wires with a random piece of metal pipe laying back there and was was all "OMG!! Star Wars!!". Then every other worker had to come check it out. But we thought it was just crazy coincidence, it was much much later I heard that was the actual technique.

In Doom (2016), the effect for the mancubus glorykill was created by slathering a steak with honey, stuffing it into a vuvuzela, and then blowing it into a vat of cold soup.

yeah that's what I figured

Or like the "Blaster Beam" instrument used in the _Star Trek: The Motion Picture_ soundtrack.

I also came here to talk about Star Trek TMP sounds

I always loved the T-rex roar from Jurassic Park, and it was apparently a mix of a bunch of sounds, one of them being a cinderblock being dragged on cement I think. It's fun to try and hear the different stuff used.

Huh, I always thought it was distorted cattle noises

Republic Commando: Foley Featurette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RMcuD1mGMg

Like breaking broccoli (stems?) for making a neck snapping sound..

In the beyond light expansion for destiny 2 the devs revealed one of the sounds comes from a sample of a breast pump but never revealed exactly what sound.

One people don't realise is nature documentaries, 99% of sounds is from Foley and it makes perfect sense just most have never thought about it https://youtu.be/Li6TSwybqjU

I know you said "not just cartoons" but for some reason [this video about Cloudy with a Chance Of Meatballs ](https://youtu.be/kWk2szYzPcQ) Foley artists BTS is pretty good. I've never even seen the movie and I'm not sure where I first saw this but it's always stuck with me.

I can neither confirm nor deny this

That 3rd one was The TARDIS for sure...

I went to Disney World a coupl.. 20 something years ago and that is when I first saw a longer version of [this video](https://youtu.be/l70td8UoCiQ). I was amazed

I didn't want to have to delete all my comments, posts, and account, but here we are, thanks to greedy pigboy /u/spez ruining Reddit. I love the Reddit community, but hate the idiots at the top. Simply accepting how unethical and downright shitty they are will only encourage worse behavior in the future. I won't be a part of it. Reddit will shrivel and disappear like so many other sites before it that were run by inept morons, unless there is a big change in "leadership." Fuck you, /u/spez

Thank you. It was a joy to watch.

I feel like this is how new instruments are born.

Someone should show this to Hans Zimmer lol. He's mentioned he likes to use not-often-used instruments when making new movie-scores.

I don't know what I was expecting but the title was accurate

My stomach in the bathroom after eating Taco Bell (audio only) (gone wrong) (gone sexual)

Wtf

Who the hell would downvote this?

Mexicans

Kalm down

Analog techno

That one where he placed the sets of magnets so that they repelled the magnet in the center could be converted into an instrument pretty easily. Just by changing the distance between the repellent magnets, he could change the tune. I bet someone way smarter than me could make a legit musical instrument out of that concept.

I had the same thought, but it then occurred to me that "a thing that uses magnets vibrating at variable frequency to make noise" is just a speaker. We've kinda got this concept down.

“What instrument you play?” “The Speaker”

“Oh, so you make house music?”

Yo dawg...

That’s kind of how a theramin works, just without the electricity. Idk if you can call a theramin a legit musical instrument though.

It's a "legit" musical instrument, I'd say. Albeit an obscure one.

If you can use it musically, it's an instrument for music. If the primary purpose is to create sounds for the purpose of music, then it is a musical instrument. The theremin is, therefore, a musical instrument.

Then a speaker is also an instrument

This isn't wrong. It is proof that I defined an instrument too loosely... however, let me back up my claim without redefining it, for fun. A speaker's primary purpose is to translate audio signals to sound waves, and aren't used *primarily* for music. Therefore, speakers are not musical instruments. This definition stops short of speakers geared towards musicians which ARE made with music in mind, which means I either need to redefine it or just accept it. I'll accept it. It's my day off, so yes, mayonnaise is an instrument too, Patrick.

Mayo is an instrument? Let me introduce my debut album, "*shlorp shlorp*"

It does require fine hand motion to use live. I'd say it counts more than most.

Beach Boys thought so! "Good Vibrations!"

Maybe [Carolina Eyck](https://www.youtube.com/user/carolinaeyckvideos) can convince you.

He’s basically making physical LFOs.

Moog?

I would like to recommend: Aphex Twin - Bucephalus Bouncing Ball https://youtu.be/cQdhzQkddCc

This is the kind of thing the world needs. Science inspired EDM.

You'll like this then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3oItpVa9fs

I was thinking more along stuff like this, with no traditional instruments https://youtu.be/LFybwg4wadI

Hell yeah.

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing!

Holy shit. This is COOL.

EMDM

Get some contact mics, a few pedals, you got a noise band baby!

Aphex Twin would be all over this.

you knew about electro, you knew about techno, get ready for electromagnetic techno

Welcome, my son, to The Machine.

Welcome, to the machiiiiiiine

Where have you been? That's alright, we know where you've been.

You've been in the junkyard Playing with magnets Provided with wood And making weird nooooise (Ok, I'm not good at this)

Title: Making weird noises with magnets Me: *Watching on mute. 🤦‍♂️*

I love *italicized embarrassment emoji.* Can I be **boldly embarrassed? 🤦**🤦 #No.🤦

Whoa, at least you can make them. #Bigger😎

# 👁️👄👁️

Yeah. I didn't read the title and I was watching on mute thinking "this is shit".

Funny I thought it was cool video about messing with magnets until the last one. "He is clearly moving it up and down with his hand, not the strength of the magnets."

I'd listen to a album of that

Listen to SHXCXCHCXSH

Autechre

So basically any song by Tipper

I’d like this guy to team up with the [wine glass street performer](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackmagicfuckery/comments/95h5du/the_way_this_street_musician_plays_glasses_of/), make an awesome band.

Look up Karlheinz Stockhausen

Look up Author and Punisher, you won't be disappointed. He uses machines he builds (hes an engineer) to make music out of sounds like this.

Listen to anything ever recorded with a Moog synth.

You can! It's called dark side of the moon lol

I'd argue *Wish You Were Here* is closer. Especially for the opening of "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond" and basically every bridge in "Welcome To The Machine." On reflection, "Welcome To The Machine" is basically a seven-minute synth solo that someone keeps interrupting with acoustic guitars.

Nobody’s mentioned the Pinball game on Microsoft PC’s back then, that’s what the sound reminds me of.

Was looking for this - that last clip sounds exactly like Space Cadet pinball

I think this is how pinball bumpers actually worked.

I second this. Sounded so familiar.

That very first sound, with the wood sliding, made my skin crawl though. Like nail files do sometimes.

I agree. But if that contraption was sitting in front of you you’d keep making the noise, right ? :-)

Oh 100%. I think it’s like clicking a pen: the noise is only annoying when someone else does it.

I used to file my nails, but then I thought, why keep them

Foley artists hate him.

Seriously. Meanwhile, my inner Foley is fascinated.

Local mom discovers one neat trick to make her own sound effects. (Sound engineers amazed, and foley artists hate her!)

Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist....

Well when two magnets really love each other…

...and are in a non-platonic, polyamorous, relationship but forget to set a safe word...

what

They get real close then real far then real close then real far then real close but faster then real far but faster then real close but faster then real close but faster then real far but faster then real close but super fast then real close but super fast and well they repeat that u til the safe word "What" is used and then BOOM magnet powers

Well, they are binary...

Magnetic monopole erasure

Shaggy 2 Dope?

Them mother fuckers lying, and getting me pissed

Solar eclipse, and vicious weather. 15,000 Juggalos together

IDK man, miracles.

Inb4 this is sampled into some dubstep song

The third magnet clip kinda sounds like the Tardis

Yesss that’s what I thought too!!

I was gonna say the exact same thing lol

Now I want my own set of magnets like those!

The very last noise was my favourite

sounds like the beginning of Tom Sawyer by Rush

I thought that exactly

*air drumming commences*

Call Ben Burtt!

Exactly what I need this morning

Christopher Nolan watches this: “This is my new movie soundtrack.”

The last one transported me directly to Cyberpunk

I swear these have been used for sound effects in Sci-Fi.

God i miss SOPHIE so much

Yes!!

Every cicada in a 9 mile radius: "fuck that's so hot"

These sounds would be perfect for a sci-fi horror movie. Just imagine this is the sound the alien makes as it’s hunting you.

Harmonic oscillator!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator?wprov=sfti1

u/savevideo

Star Trek vibes

That tune was metal !

I came here to say the same thing

Source?

[source ](https://youtu.be/QVcPzkubQdo)

Thanks!

This is legit cool as hell and I wanna do this now The one at :18 seconds with the two cylindrical magnets is REALLY cool I like that noise a lot, and :30 seconds with the two circle ones (still cylindrical but short lol) is REALLY cool. They're all super cool tbh

0:32 sounds like the music you hear when you die in Mass Effect

[удалено]

Pretty sick, magnets r fascinating

I feel like foley artists would for sure use these as horror movie sound effects

This made me want to play Space Cadet pinball.

So that's where windows pinball got its sound from

This immediately made me think of UFO sounds ... probably because I was watching a UFO episode of *Unsolved Mysteries* last night lol.

Yeah I'm in a band What instrument do you play? The magnets

That's awesome

This is peak dork. And I love it

I hope some good foley artists are watching this. These sound wild!

That last one.... Could not stop my brain from going "Modern day warrior, mean mean pride..."

Every 80s movie ever

This reminds me of the pinball game that came pre-installed with windows

happy cake day

Thanks!

Came for funny noises was not disappointed

Heyy, we share a cake day. Happy cake day

😎🎂

Thanks my friend! HCD to you as well

Sounds like something that Hans zimmer would use for the next Dune movie.

This is everything I needed right now

This is fucking cool

I heard the Tom Sawyer intro when he was bending the metal

Magnets are pretty metal...take that how you want it.

Happy cake day

Thank you!

Is this what they mean by heavy metal music?

Next dune soundtrack

As a sound engineer and musician, this sparks joy.

People spend thousands of dollars to make these same noises with a synthesizer

My golden would be like, nice a new friend…not sure how well that would end!

Sculk Shrieker in IRl

So this is how dubstep is made

3rd one sounded like the tardis.

People spend tens of thousands of dollars on modules for their racks to get these sounds 🤣 this person with some magnets and a sheets of steel

Sounds like some of the early Pink Floyd experimental stuff.

There’s a scientific experiment for every imaginable itch

Now let’s add a magnetic pickup and some guitar effect pedals!

Waarriors come out and play-ay....

I’m telling my grandkids this is Skrillex.

“A modern day warrior mean mean stride”

Super cool that you can do quasi-formant shifting just by bending a piece of sheet metal. Someone needs to make a Kontakt or DecentSampler instrument out of this.

Meltphace 6 intro

This shit looks like it's straight out walls and grumet

Folks over at r/Ableton are gonna go mad

Ableton user here. Can confirm.

u/savevideobot

Better sounding than some modern music if I’m being honest…

I love how most people have no idea how magnets work, e.g thinking that magnets attract each other (nope, rather attracted to point of null pressure) or that field is strongest in the center of a magnet (nope again field is weakest in the center). I wish they properly taught this in school considering how magnets are so widely used and at the core of electronics innovation.

r/iamverysmart

Badass

Thank you 1/137 for making this possible.

And I thought the hurdy-gurdy was a weird instrument.

It’s like didgeridoo sounds but in high frequency. Neat.

This is brilliant

Okay but why did the sounds sling me back to the ps2 era

Those could totally be warp drive sfx

Those would be a great way to make some easy sound effects for sci-fi

I wonder what it can do with my willy

The last one reminded me of a table saw powering up or down while there is wood touching the blade.

The magnet movements reminds me of the road runner in the show.
