Why is the sound of coins dropping on the floor so recognizable, even in a noisy setting?
In: Physics
The biological explanation would be the intrinsic motivation while I would argue there’s also an extrinsic motivation at work. Coins and money are valuable so we would be inclined to have our attention drawn to such noise as well, opposed to say a rubber pylon falling on the floor – we wouldn’t care much and it isn’t memorable.
