The desert emits 'screams of demons in hell'

Many people believe that the "scary" sound in the Xiangshawan desert (Inner Mongolia) is like the scream of the devil god in hell.

You will be surprised to hear the name of the article, because why the desert makes such "scary" sounds. It is a mysterious phenomenon that scientists have been studying for many centuries.

Xiangshawan Desert is also known as the Sounding Sand Desert located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (China). The desert is famous for the 'singing' sand dunes stretching 200m, 110m high with a slope of about 45 degrees.

However, this desert is also worthy of being one of the 'hardest to live' areas on the planet with high sand dunes and harsh climatic environments. During the day, the temperature in Xiangshawan desert is about 25-40 degrees Celsius, nighttime drops to 10-15 degrees C.

Perhaps the most special point in this desert is that in the process of walking on the sand or sliding down the sand dunes, you can listen to the 'crackling' of frogs or 'roar' of the car engine out of sand.

Previously, many people believed that this song was the scream of the devil god in hell. However, scientists do not believe in this rumor, so they tried to explain this mysterious phenomenon.

Through a preliminary survey, the researchers hypothesized that it was the vibration at the bottom of the sand dune that made such strange sounds. But they still cannot explain why those grains of sand emit such a wonderful sound at the same time. Pictures of camels in the middle of the desert create melodious music.

Over the years of research, this group of scientists from France has deciphered this. After studying a few deserts that also have this phenomenon, scientists conducted the isolation of different sized sand grains and recorded the sound as they moved through the air in the laboratory.

Scientists conclude: 'Cat singing' is a phenomenon that depends on the size and speed of the movement of sand , ie particles of different sizes will move at different speeds. However, they still do not understand how erratic movements can combine into quite coherent music.

Another widely accepted hypothesis is that the movement of sand grains occurs simultaneously, oscillating at the same frequency. Thousands of small vibrations combined lead to the vibration of the air, from which sounds.

However, many other scientists have questioned, why when the rain or winter, the grains are often silent. What made the sand grains "bump" into each other and resound. Therefore, although many scientists think hard, so far, they have not found any real cause.

For guests who want to see the Xiangshawan desert and enjoy the music from the sand, a resort was built called Resort Desert Lotus in this place. The resort is designed by architects with a sail-like pattern that glides over the sand.

Instead of building bricks, the architect used environmentally friendly carbon compounds, easily absorbing solar energy and wind energy from the vast desert. Comes with it are excellent services, giving visitors the most satisfaction.
