One of my favorite sounds is the unearthly chirps that lake ice makes when a rock skips over it.

However, it is not easy to freeze a lake to demonstrate it... but there is a surprisingly easy way to make a similar sound. In this video, I show how little effort it takes to achieve 'acoustic dispersion'.

Share if you know of other ways. Could be fun to make a full video with examples and an explanation of the physics behind acoustic dispersion.

That's very similar to how they actually made the laser pistol sounds for Star Wars. I wonder what people imagined laser blaster sounds before SW came and made it kinda the default sound.

If I remember it right they hit a long cable holding a mast, so yes - a long metal wire under tension. I also have a hard time coming up with how else a laser blaster should sound? Guess they just chose it perfectly - making it an iconic sound. For me, the very fast change from high to low pitch signals speed. Like the Doppler shift from something moving very fast by - like at near light speed ;o)

The video has playback issues at 1:05. If you upload it to YouTube will be ok.

Hmm, I don't see any issues with the playback? The two-second 'pause' is intentional to give time to read the text and consider what the simple solution is ;o)
