Of course despite the scientific explanations that don t really sound scientific enough.
Marbles going through pipes sound.
However this usually produces a single sound.
Abstract this is a really fun project even if you don t like going on roller coasters yourself.
But this makes pinpointing the origin even more challenging.
Pipes making sounds that sound so much like marbles.
It all started when the straits times forum published a letter by bank executive joseph wong who kept hearing the sound of falling marbles in his flat.
Water bubbles in sanitary pipes.
This change in pressure rattles the pipes and creates clanging sounds which will sound like marbles dropping as the sounds pass through concrete walls.
Air can get trapped in the network of pipes as water passes through them and the force can cause the pipes to jostle and disperse the air pocket creating a sound like marbles rolling.
The sounds are primarily coming from the pipes in most cases.
If the sound alters as it moves through a building it means actual marbles and pins can t be the root cause.
Building experts told us that it s due to the pipes mosquito traps or vibrations that go through the walls.
Can you find a correlation.
The pipe bounces back up falls back into place the sound occurs and the cycle repeats a couple of times though there is less force each time.
They say the sound comes from water trickling through pvc pipes which gets distorted through concrete before emerging as the sound of falling marbles.
This phenomenon has been in the news lately.
Then again think about this.
Plumbing is a good.
The sound it creates is similar to that of marbles dropping.
Soon after a few cycles the force is too small.
