    Song is "Drop" by Cornelius if anyone wanted to know.

    Oops, people beat me to it.

    This song is making me nostalgic for my Freshmen/Sophomore dorm days.

    Tuned properly, SPICA can return solid performance ... or so I'm told.

    This fits better at Instructables than on a project design...
    Subwoofers + leds + water... and some mods to make the vibration create certain shapes on the water and that's it, right?
    Well, I'd rather had something else on the subwoofer...

    Also, something like this would make a far more interesting visualizer:

    Wonder if you could combine this with oil suspension so you could have different coloured layers or something. Add in some glitter to catch the light when it bounces and it could be really neat looking.

    I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I need sleep.

    I have a similar setup but, unfortunately, the only sounds it makes are of water flowing and of me going to the bathroom.

    I hope it gets some. Whale music. The idea is quite romantic. Like really good opera, you might not understand the words, but hopefully you totally "get" the feelings. #seaglider

    @Curves: I love whale sounds, but the cynic in me says expect a lot of unknown sounds, and perhaps some flatulence from see critters. Perhaps a Bloop if they are lucky. #seaglider

    They're going to be sorely disappointed when the only sounds are those of Brian Lam yelling obscenities as he tumbles off his surf board. #seaglider

    I noticed this phenomenon (the first bounce, that is) while working in my lab last year. Man, I must have spent the next ten minutes just fooling around trying to duplicate the effect. Ten minutes of productive research, gone. #highspeedvideo

    It seems that the height the water is dropped from plays a part in the way the drop interacts with the water it lands on. I didn't watch it with sound so they may have talked about it. As for "no special water" that is kind of meaningless. Water quality can be vastly different from tap to tap, or bottle to bottle, and all of those will be different from 100% pure H2O.

    @daniel.r.jacobs: I wonder if there is a dropping velocity that pushes all the air out from under the drop at once, allowing the whole drop to be absorbed. I'm sure falling from a rain cloud at 3,000 feet would do it if ever. #highspeedvideo

    It's funny how the sound effects involve us so much we almost don't notice they're sound effects... #highspeedvideo

    @GustavoSM:
    I've always kinda wondered if we were just programmed to believe that water drops sound like that, when in fact they sound like something completely different.

    It's the same thing with artificial fruit flavors. Who dictated that this flavor will be "orange", when it tastes nothing like a real orange. What if we colored it purple, and called it grape? #highspeedvideo

    @Xagest: I'm pretty sure artificial flavors start out as pretty accurate imitations, then slowly change over time as they are value engineered into something more affordable. I remember when gushers first came out, they were the first 'grape' flavored candy that I would eat. They actually tasted like grapes. The years haven't been kind to them. #highspeedvideo

    @Gann: lots of japanese grape candies still taste like grapes. it's cool. look for the "mitsuya cider" candies next time you go to a big grocery store. [en.wikipedia.org] #highspeedvideo
