Why does a lake of ice cracking sound like laser beams shooting “Pew Pews”??
In: Earth Science
High frequencies travel faster than low frequencies. This is more noticeable in a solid like ice or metal as opposed to air. So when it cracks, the high frequencies reach your ear first, then the mids, then the lows. It happens smoothly and quickly, hence the “pew pew” laser sound
