[REQ] Realistic "Ping" (not movie ping)

Another report stated that it sounded like steel wires being dragged along the hull.

Sooooo, throwing gravel was more commonplace?

That 16 kHz sound sounds like the noises I hear when the tv is on or with certain music and sounds on games. It's annoying as hell and no one else seems to notice it but me. I can tell if someone has the tv on two floors down and several rooms over, lol.

At a guess, I would say that this wire/gravel sound is formed in the same way as if
you put a >20khz tuning fork against a sheet of metal.
You can't hear the sound the tuning fork is making, but you can hear the fork
bouncing off the metal.


It might also be the sub's own harmonic at play. Think of knocking the tuning fork you
can't hear against one you can. However, I rather doubt this. Sub's are big bells to ring
and I don't think a 120-200dbl ping is enough to do it.




To Laboe with steel wire, gravel and a microphone?

We can either skip that part of the sound altogether if we claim the ping is above 20khz or we can play it very quietly.
