Sounds - Blog Posts
Muffled
On a wall so paper thin it’s visible, I see
Clobber sounds I imagine comes when people walk, their footsteps heavy or soft depending on the pits of rain,
Trees fluttering, the sounds of crackles coming in faint rumbles,
Like the grass beneath but perhaps the feeling or warmth and softness is more apparent than whatever things I hear from it.
.
The sound-out groans, it moans in whistles,
Reminding me that things I described are things
I cannot hear behind where I am.
.
Yet I can imagine the echos the wind makes
When people walk, the thud and clobber the sounds of their shoes would make
The pitter-patter of rain, distinct
Sound of the sharp stream a car going past, motors screeching I fell more in
Curses rather than calm.
.
On a wall so paper-thin it’s visible, I hear and
Think, pictures aboard,
The muffled sounds of what a wind would speak
I think something I never really stopped to think too much about in One Piece is the sounds.
I grew up surrounded by nature. I grew up listening to the sounds the woods by my house made, the fields of crops down the road, of the river and creeks at my grandparents, and storms rolling over miles of empty plains in the fall.
I could tell you everything you need to know about those things. I didn't fear the dark because I knew it well. I could run those trails in the dead of night and I could have walked the land around my home blindfolded. I knew every branch that scraped, every bird nest full of singing life, every hole waiting for an ankle, every thorn tree that dropped terrible gifts to the earth. I knew it all.
Now I'm learning the sounds of the city. And everything is so loud. You forgot how quiet the world is when it's just you, and our world is full of loud things. Trains, cars, planes, electricity humming, pipes creaking, etc.
I believe I've made mentions of it before in my posts but I'm just really interested in how the One Piece world sounds.
Do the waves make different sounds than our own? Do sea kings sound more like tigers or gorillas when they roar? Are storms still ear shattering when they call out with thunder? Does the wind howl in your ear, or does it sing?
What does it sound like when Marco flies with massive wings right next to you? Does it sound like a regular bird but magnificent? Or does it pop your ears like a plane? Does he make different noises because of his devil fruit? Are his vocal cords different than someone else's?
What about when Buggy separates? The human body makes a variety of sound when it's sperated in different ways, does he sound like thighs stuck together with sweat in the summer or an injury like the loss of a limb? Does it pop like part of a toy, or maybe a click like a lock and key? Does it make a sound like pulling meat apart?
Does Luffy squeak when he moves all the time? Does he sounds like new shoes on marble or the high pitched screech of bare skin on gym floors?
Did Ace make the wooshing sound of dry wood or maybe the soft pops of low embers? Was he more like a forest fire taking off or a candle flickering in the window?
Does Kidd sound like a a car crash? Like metal bending and reforming itself into something messy and new? Does he clang like dropped silverware or is it heavy like metal gates closing? Maybe he sounds like the hammer of a blacksmith on burning metal?
Does Chopper have a way of talking that's distinctive? Like an accent or a lisp? Surely there would be something that would remind people that vocal cords change with each species and suddenly being able to make the noises of the human language would be a learning curve?
Does Robin sound like skin sliding against skin? Like rubbing your arms when you're cold or the dry sound that comes sometimes when you shake someones hand? Maybe she sounds like the wind in a garden or pulling petals off a flower?
Does Crocodile sound like a sandstorm? Does the sand he controls sound like screaming, like howling? Or maybe it sounds like a mudslide, something powerful and earthly?
Does Doflomingo make the the twang of tight threads being pulled and snapped back into place? Maybe the snap of elastic bands or the zzzz of string being pulled of the roll too quick?
Just so many fun things to consider 💭
Might do one of these about some of the other senses too.
The Sun is not silent. The low, pulsing hum of our star's heartbeat allows scientists to peer inside, revealing huge rivers of solar material flowing around before their eyes — er, ears.
Data from ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), sonified by the Stanford Experimental Physics Lab, captures the Sun’s natural vibrations and reveals what can’t be seen with the naked eye.
In this audiogram, our heliophysicist Alex Young explains how this simple sound connects us with the Sun and all the other stars in the universe.
This piece features low frequency sounds of the Sun. For the best listening experience, listen to this story with headphones. 🎧

Spooky Sounds from Across the Solar System
Soaring to the depths of our universe, gallant spacecraft roam the cosmos, snapping images of celestial wonders. Some spacecraft have instruments capable of capturing radio emissions. When scientists convert these to sound waves, the results are eerie to hear.
In time for Halloween, we've put together a compilation of elusive "sounds" of howling planets and whistling helium that is sure to make your skin crawl.
Listen to a few here and visit our Soundcloud for more spooky sounds.
Cassini Ring Crossing
This eerie audio represents data collected by our Cassini spacecraft, as it crossed through the gap between Saturn and its rings on April 26, 2017, during the first dive of the mission's Grand Finale. The instrument is able to record ring particles striking the spacecraft in its data. In the data from this dive, there is virtually no detectable peak in pops and cracks that represent ring particles striking the spacecraft. The lack of discernible pops and cracks indicates the region is largely free of small particles.
Voyager Tsunami Waves in Interstellar Space
Listen to this howling audio from our Voyager 1 spacecraft. Voyager 1 has experienced three "tsunami waves" in interstellar space. This kind of wave occurs as a result of a coronal mass ejection erupting from the Sun. The most recent tsunami wave that Voyager experienced began in February 2014, and may still be going. Listen to how these waves cause surrounding ionized matter to ring like a bell.
Voyager Sounds of Interstellar Space
Our Voyager 1 spacecraft captured these high-pitched, spooky sounds of interstellar space from October to November 2012 and April to May 2013.
The soundtrack reproduces the amplitude and frequency of the plasma waves as "heard" by Voyager 1. The waves detected by the instrument antennas can be simply amplified and played through a speaker. These frequencies are within the range heard by human ears.
When scientists extrapolated this line even further back in time (not shown), they deduced that Voyager 1 first encountered interstellar plasma in August 2012.
Plasma Sounds at Jupiter
Ominous sounds of plasma! Our Juno spacecraft has observed plasma wave signals from Jupiter’s ionosphere. The results in this video show an increasing plasma density as Juno descended into Jupiter’s ionosphere during its close pass by Jupiter on February 2, 2017.
Roar of Jupiter
Juno's Waves instrument recorded this supernatural sounding encounter with the bow shock over the course of about two hours on June 24, 2016. "Bow shock" is where the supersonic solar wind is heated and slowed by Jupiter's magnetosphere. It is analogous to a sonic boom on Earth. The next day, June 25, 2016, the Waves instrument witnessed the crossing of the magnetopause. "Trapped continuum radiation" refers to waves trapped in a low-density cavity in Jupiter's magnetosphere.

I feel so stereotypical wow. I could also include teasing my sister but oh well. Also my family haha. I could say things like reading, drawing, writing, but sometimes I am crying while doing those for various reasons so I don't think that counts.
Short Stories #2
2. Waiting
Heels clicked against the polished, stone floor as nurses in white and teal, carrying paperwork and various instruments hurried by. Hands typed on keyboards in a flurry while also picking up calls for appointments and guiding a long line of patients. The smell of disinfectant and sanitizer never failed to assault the senses but you get used to it after a while. Soft murmurs and chatters lazily floated in the room creating a lull in the air which would be shattered by the sudden, alarming announcement for the next patient. Irritation simmered underneath my skin as unruly children ran around untamed, threw magazines at each other and spilled water on the floor while the parents chit chatted or scrolled on their screens. Somewhere in the back a child started wailing. I heaved a deep sigh and felt the beginnings of a pounding headache. I was already here longer than I should have been, absolutely annoyed that they delayed my appointment to twenty minutes later. A man to my right kept distractingly tapping his water bottle, his fingers moving in a synchronized rhythm. The little boy to my left kept shifting in his seat and would get up every two minutes to explore the restroom despite being reprimanded by his mother repeatedly. A woman across me crossed her legs and shook her foot while another tapped her obnoxiously high heeled shoes. Restless and bored, that's what they all were. The wailing of the baby had now reached a high intensity, ear piercing shriek which left the father no choice but to take his child outside. A few people sighed in relief. I, too, heaved another deep sigh but not of relief, as my headache reached its potential and banged against my skull. I wondered, not for the first time, how long it would take for my turn. Till then, I'll be waiting.

Drew Smith - Melee (Fossils: 2007)
You want the truth, I don’t know what’s real You fight me off, I’m still nipping at your heels I could try, but the feeling won’t let go And you, my dear, will be hanging ‘round my door You need the truth, but some things aren’t up for sale You’ve felt me out, now you’re rushing by full sail I could try, but the feeling won’t let go And you, my dear, will be hanging ‘round my door All these bodies rush right through me It’s like I’m chased by ghosts And you, my dearest, choose to break the ones you love the most I could try, but the feeling won’t let go And you, my dear, will be hanging ‘round my door
I could try, but the feeling won’t let go And you, my dear, will be hanging ‘round my door
Maher Zain - Hold My Hand (Thank You Allah: 2009)
I hear the flowers kinda crying loud, the breeze is sounding sad Oh no Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside Lost our way a long time ago Did we really turn that blind We don’t see that we keep hurting each other, no All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile on the new bloodied playgrounds Oh no How could we ignore heartbreaking crying sounds And we’re still going on Like nobody really cares And we just stopped feeling all the pain because Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
No matter how far I might be, I’m always gonna be your neighbor There’s only one small planet where to be, so I’m always gonna be your neighbor We cannot hide, we can’t deny That we’re always gonna be neighbors Your neighbor, my neighbor We’re neighbors
So, hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what have left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
Butterfly Boucher - A Walk Outside (Flutterby: 2003) Which came first The love or the love song? Which is more important In the long run? Do you really want to talk about it? Take it to the back veranda Have a drink and talk around it In the end it doesn't matter In the end we all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Which came first The love or the love song? I'm sorry I guess I was wrong Let us find the tune without a sound Find a place no one's found Pick it up and put it down In the end it doesn't matter In the end they all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Clever lines and clever lyrics All boil down to what goes in them If they find life then so do we Yeah, uh-huh, I think we're alive Music is a walk outside Think about it for a minute In the end we all go home Music's in the things that matter Hear it in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Which came first The love or the love song?
Wax on Radio - Guilding The Lily (Exposition: 2006) Widened eyes, why the look of startled surprise? Following, what's become of a sad sense of hope and your moaning of faith Sickened words of sadder days, a glorious fate Trust not what we've come to make of the truth Waking to the walls closing in around you Bright and bold are the fires we've set after you
Your grasp has been released from the god awful hand Your grasp has been released As an aching will rise in the bones, when will I need you?
Dig down in the sand tell us son what you've found in your hand You hold the ghost of your lost and broken soul Tell of the faith we will need to know for the plans to be made What's come of love? Will you know not what you've done until you see her? Me and my love We can't see straight Oh, me and my love We can't see straight
As we walk through a wood to a clearing of light Where the moonlight lets in all the creatures that stir there in the night I have followed you if only to show what we reap we will not sew Fading gray As the trouble come and go Fading gray
I have followed you if only to show that an aching rises in bone
Love of mine I have to tell you we're out of time The hell that has wrought us will soon reprise And leave our souls knowing life is pain until death closes our eyes

I’ve grown accustomed to the quiet
That lie beyond my door
So it was all the more
Disquieting
When I heard voices from the floor
