Underwater sound

3 replies

This has nothing to with B&O, just a nice experience I want to share with you.

 

I went to a spa yesterday and they had a mineral pool there. And there was music underwater. 

It was the most amazin experience I have had. Just swimming around under water (my favourite thing to do) and listening to music. 

 

The only thing that could have made it better was if I could chose the music.

 

Does anyone know how this works? Are there speakers or is it resonance? I was swimming around trying to locate the sound source, but it was impossible..

 

Anyway, just wanted to share Paradise😁

That sounds pretty damn cool.

No idea how it works though.

"How does it sound? Well, the limits of bone conductivity make stereophonic sound impossible underwater. The skull provides only a single source of sound transmission, whereas air conductivity hearing provides two -- one in each ear. But that doesn't mean the sound itself is monophonic -- rather it's what Stanford University music researcher John A. Maurer IV referred to as omniphonic sound [source:
