Glass-Shattering Sound: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Sound is a vibration, which can be transmitted to a physical object, such as glass. If the pitch of the sound matches the natural vibration frequency of the object, and if the volume of the sound is loud enough, then the resulting vibration can cause the object to break. In the case of glass (usually wine crystals), the notes that cause resonance vibration are rather high-pitched.

* One of Memorex's "Is it ~~real~~ or Memorex?" TV commercials, where [[Ella Fitzgerald]] breaks a wine glass by singing a high note... and then replaying the recording of Ella singing also causes glass to shatter.

* One of Memorex's "Is it live or is it Memorex?" TV commercials, where [[Ella Fitzgerald]] breaks a wine glass by singing a high note... and then replaying the recording of Ella singing also causes glass to shatter.

* One Bud Light commercial has two dudes going to an opera with bottles of the beer. Cue one [[Brawn Hilda]] soprano aria...all of the bottles pop. Another dude turns around and shows the other two that they should have brought cans.

* One commercial for Diet Mountain Dew ends with a lady topping her two eagle-tattoo sporting co-workers by letting out a piercing eagle-esque scream and shattering all the glass walls. Then she lets out a smaller eep to destroy the glass vase sitting on the table.
