Stonehenge 181

I remember standing by Silbury and being amazed by a massive low rumbling, which turned out to be people drumming inside WKLB. Stonehenge would be far less effective presumably because of the shape.

I liked this: "an app which will help people blot out the sounds - including those made by tourists, and cars on the nearby A303 - and go back to the soundscape of 3,000 years ago." What's the betting EH will buy it and suppress it? The road noise is their main excuse for supporting the short tunnel project.

The publicity seems to be more concerned with flogging the app than highlighting the findings of a new paper . Which is probabaly just as well considering the fankle he got himself into in the last one .

Interesting that you mentioned WKLB Nigel. It was quite late last night when I posted the Stonehenge link so didn't elaborate but was thinking about the work on acoustics Steve Marshall did at WKLB and Avebury for his book "Exploring Avebury - The Essential Guide". His chapter (page 53) on the acoustics of WKLB is certainly worth re-reading particularly the bit on Bull Roarers.
