Hey everyone. So, earlier this summer on my trip to Europe, I was in this hotel room that had a really crazy shower. It was so weird that I actually recorded it to send to my friends because I thought it was so interesting, and I wanted to share it here on AudioPub too because it's just fascinating.
Basically, they had upgraded us to a five-star room, and this shower was pretty amazing. It was all tile with a big heavy glass door, so the acoustics in there were already amazing, as you can probably tell from the reverb.
But here's how this worked: there were two different shower heads. You had this massive rain shower head built right into the roof, and then you had this separate handheld stick wand. This wand was just a very long, thin, looking thing.
You use this single dial to control where the water went. You'd turn it one way, and it would start raining from the roof. You'd keep turning it, and it would slowly transition all the water over to the handheld stick.
The problem, or the interesting part, was right in the middle. If I turned that dial to a very specific spot, just between the two settings, the water pressure and the pipes would do something I've never heard before. It started making this incredibly loud, deep, vibrating sound.
It wasn't just a rattle or a normal pipe noise. It was a solid, super low-frequency note. It was its own subwoofer. It was so powerful the whole floor shook. At one point, as you can hear in the recording, it even sounded like it was creating harmonies with itself.
It was one of the strangest (and coolest) hotel quirks I've ever found, so I had to capture it. Hope you all find it as interesting as I did!

    I went to Italy. 10 out of 10 would go again, but not in the summertime. They don't believe in AC, so every place you go is very hot.

    that low noise you're hearing is probably the water trying to go to the roof shower head and the stick at the same time. and because the water pressure is too high, it is making that noise. cool recording. thanks for sharing this
