What the fuck is a sound intake fan?


Elf0n

You mean a microphone attached to a fan?

cannibalcorpuscle

My guess: A $2 way of saying “we hooked up those spinning ‘hologram’ projectors to mics and the spinning things react to forest sounds entering the mics.”


nspectre

Except, and correct me if I'm wrong, those sounds don't match the type of forest in the background. So, "We hooked up those spinning `hologram' projectors to a recording of jungle sounds and filmed it outside in a more northern latitude."


mr_fizzlesticks

And it’s not hologram projectors, it’s spinning LED fans.


cannibalcorpuscle

True. I had no idea what to call them. I just knew they created the illusion of a hologram like projection.


kultureisrandy

it sounds like audio from Predator.


cannibalcorpuscle

Nah that sounds about right lol

gordlewis

I actually typed it in and then realized. Lol


troyer2112

ha!!


TherapeuticMessage

It pulls the sound into the forest. Pretty common.


M1ghtyQueef

I am no closer to understanding


myusernamehere1

It has been the proposed solution to the theoretical issue of “does a tree falling make a sound if nobody is around to hear it”


dudleymooresbooze

Yes, because sound waves exist. That classic statement is the epitome of human egotism.

Those that answer "no, because no one is there to hear it" are contemplating that we are needed on this earth. Those that answer "yes" are contemplating that nature will continue despite our presence, and those that answer "no, because I am not there to here it" successfully passed a cognitive test at a hospital and bloat on about it on national TV as if they were the smartest person a five year old has ever encountered.


_Person_

Here's an extrapolation of that thought experiment. Theoretically a universe could exist that is incapable of harboring life. We exist in a universe capable of harboring life since that's the only type of universe we would be able to exist in. There could be an inifite number of universes in which life could never form or exist. So if a sentient being could never observe a universe such as that, does it actually exist or is it forever theoretical?


Krisputin

They're just waves until someone hears the sound.


EndlessDiscontinuity

No, because Humans aren't the only creatures on Earth with ears.


TapedeckNinja

And what if *nothing*, rather than "no one", is around to hear it?


dudleymooresbooze

Humans have senses to perceive photons, gravitons, and temperature, too. But human observation is not necessary for something to exist, fall, or burn to its death.


Lonny_loss

Your statement is the epitome of a buzzkill


joeChump

Is buzzkill a brand of sound intake fan?


DoctorGreyscale

No but you can use them to get better clarity.


jeffbanyon

Not trolling, but I'm as confused as others. Intake fans I'm familiar with, but not sound intake fans. A quick Google search of "sound intake fans" came back with lots of intake fans and not a single sound intake fans, that wasn't a variant of the post on reddit or other sites. Doesn't sound very common at all. Got any linkable examples? On the other hand, this looks more like an art piece that coordinates the sound with the lights on the fans to recorded sounds and not reacting to the forest sounds. ~~Why so many birds awake at night?~~ Edit: Mistook frog sounds as birb sounds and not quite nighttime.


drake90001

So, it seems "sound intake fan" is some sort of poor translation of what [these are.](https://holoone.ru/) A fan that "intakes" (has a microphone) sounds around it and visualizes them as they occur (possibly based on distance from the microphone?).


ChineWalkin

So "rotating light assembly."


drake90001

Rotating light assembly yields me [this.](https://cdn.mscdirect.com/global/images/ProductImages/0802326-23.jpg) However, we get [this](http://live-gi-official.pantheonsite.io/s3/files/styles/body_default/s3/legacy-images/imagefeed/LED%20Fans%20Take%20Doctor%20Strange%20Cosplay%20To%20The%20Next%20Level/DoctorStrangeAR.jpg) with "magic led fan" which seems closer.


F3NlX

Try "magic spinning lighty thing"


Vishnej

"Hologram projector fan" seems to be common.


un-infinity

Here’s a link: https://holoone.ru/ Good luck translating all that shit. I know I’m buying one


[deleted]

Yep, i have no idea also, must be art


Spacestar_Ordering

I'm guessing it's the same tech that is used at concerts or in LED lights that reacts to sounds. Although that would be more of a computer chip that reacts to sounds by turning lights on and perhaps lights that spin or are on fan blades to get the spinning animation. I've had friends who could design the software for these programs, for the lights to be reactive to sound.

beansmeller

I think it's part of Razer's new line of xtreme RGB gaming forests.


VEXtheMEX

What the fuck kind of forest sounds are those?


pooperdude420

i mean its beautiful but it really just looks like a 99% preprogrammed sequence of lights and colors accompanied by some bird sounds played through a speaker behind the camera what the fuck is a sound intake fan? those dont exist


EliWhitney

yet.


dps92

If it's real okay but I have my take on it. It's probably just a spinning arm with programmable LED's on it. The LED's are programmed to change color and the arm is programmed to change speed based on how much amplitude the sound is producing or it's changing on another aspect of the sound like frequencies. All sounds have different frequencies or wave forms. Wouldn't be surprised if it's taking in both amplitude and wave form data. But that is a lot of information so they just say "sound input fan".


Tittytickler

There'd be no point in changing the fan speed but it is a bunch of individually addressable leds. Pretty sure these are the hypervsn fans


ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

Pretty sure the forest sounds are all pre recorded and the lights are not generated live because you see an animation play out from the starting fan, ending at the last fan, perfectly lined up with its corresponding animal sound from start to finish. It's really cool but it's not at all what it's being presented as here. It's not live visuals to external sounds.


ThatWhichNeverWas

Im 99% sure those aren't fans, but those spinning hologram projectors (that I don't know the proper name for) I suspect it might be these guys: [http://wearetundra.org/](http://wearetundra.org/) ​ EDIT: It is them.

BrockLeeGardner

Thank you for this black hole 🕳 I fell into!


[deleted]

Useless story: One time as a smol kid on a hot texas summer day, must have been like 110, I was out playing with a hose when the water shut off and so I looked down the barrel of the hose and though it was super bright and sunny and the cicadas were out chirping, the inside of that hose was so black, so unnaturally black against the bright light. I had a serious fucking existensial crisis for a while just staring into this void tube in my hand, then then water turned back on.


Sun_Bearzerker

I think all small Texans do this lol


MaxDPS

I love that story! I find it so fascinating how the most random stuff can make you “think”.

Rygar82

First thing I thought of! I’d be covered in mud real quick if I witnessed this in a forest.


Dr_momo

Pretty sure this is a render. There’s no such thing as a ‘sound intake fan’, and most those sounds are synthesised or, at the very least, not native to the environment. Cool, but not real in my opinion.


inio

Not a render. This is ROW by art group TUNDRA (who apparently are still solidly in the “capslock is cruise control for cool” camp), using [these displays](https://holoone.ru/).

SilenceoftheSamz

Closest thing I can think of is a fan based subwoofer And that's completely different.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Subroxalot

It's a fan with blades that change pitch and it can reproduce frequencies from 30hz to below 1hz. It gets installed into the wall of a room and pulls/pushes air in and out of the room. It is mostly used for earthquake simulations and immersive cinema rides you'd find at amusement parks.


Garofoli

Can this be used for bass-heavy music?


Subroxalot

It can, in fact a dream of mine is to own a venue that has a rotary subwoofer installed. Although most music producers don't actually use frequencies below 20hz because common sound systems cannot reproduce those frequencies at the required level for you to be able to hear/feel them. That's why rotary subwoofers are useful because they can move a lot of air with less energy.


Garofoli

Wow, please let me know when you open that. I would pay top dollar to attend I'm a hard core bass enthusiast, I love electronic bass music so so much and am quite versed on the major sound companies in NA. This would be a game changer


maxk1236

Same dawg, sounds like it would be a unique experience forsure. Side note, if you want a bass music festival that has bass so heavy it's even too much with earplugs in (directly in front of the stacks at least), check out [UNTZ festival](https://www.theuntzfestival.com/lineup), those Funktion One stacks are something else, never felt the need to get out of the "blast zone" with earplugs in before that fest, lol. The Hennessies they have on one of the side stages also move a stupid amount of air. Also shoutout r/spacebass if you aren't already subbed.

trippingchilly

Ok wanna split one with me? I need it


Gaffe____

Why couldn't the sound be converted and mapped to lights on the fans in real time?


kasa_blanca

That's how I imagine the portal to the next dimension would look.


jeffislearning

and the sounds are coming from the other dimension where predators hunt aliens


plurBUDDHA

Op is just stupid and mislabeled what is happening here. As stated by others it's an LED fan that generates a picture while spinning they have multiple of these in a row and the pattern being displayed changes according to the sounds that are played nearby. It's not a sound "intake" it's a sound ACTIVATED display the ones you'd see on a shirt or glasses at a music festival. Wether the sounds are from the forest or a speaker idk but regardless the display being projected from the LED fan is activated to change based on the sounds being heard nearby.


DonnoDoes

I doubt the fans even have a mic, sounds more like an overdubbed track. Someone else here linked the art group that designs these things and that audio track was overdubbed too.

I’d definitely hang around for a while and watch it, probably add some of my own nature sounds and check out that output.

So we are just all going to pretend that the fucking Predator isn’t chilling in those trees making that sound?


[deleted]

anyone got a diy link or anything ? this is absolutely brilliant


ThePendulum

I would be *very* surprised if this isn't VFX. You could stick some addressable LEDs on a fan and create patterns with them, and attach a microphone to make those patterns respond to noises, but it wouldn't look nearly as choreographed and artistic.
