Welcome to Twenty Thousand Hertz

I'm Dallas Taylor, host of 20,000 Hertz, a lovingly crafted podcast about the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.

From music and video games to science and history, the world of sound is full of great stories.

The TIE Fighter was made with two main elements.

The first being the sound of a car passing by a microphone on wet pavement.

And then layered on top of that are these elephant growls, these horrible elephant growls.

You can choose between snares.

You can start chopping up the on-membrane and rearranging the individual beats into other configurations.

Pretty soon, you start getting into some really interesting patterns and textures.

Whenever I'm doing recordings, the way I get to it is I say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey here's tom right there there's tom doing his thing and he's loud and he's projected 20 000 hertz is crafted by a passionate team of professional sound designers and that means that our episodes will always sound incredible and be jam-packed with ear candy

it turns out what you need to do to make a ear is basically have a cavity

and then you need to stretch a membrane over that cavity.

When a sound wave hits that membrane, it causes it to vibrate.

So the last thing you need is a neuron to perceive that vibration.

And this barely scratches the surface.

We've also revealed the hidden stories behind the most iconic sounds to ever be created.

20,000 Hz is totally clean, so you can listen with anyone, including Little Ears.

It's also intentionally surprising.

One episode may be hilarious, while the next one is absolutely heartbreaking.

Above all, it'll help you unlock your sense of hearing.
