If you're into sound, you should always be prepared to wow friends and family with a few fun factoids.

Here are our top five fun facts about sound:

🧵🧵🧵

The loudest sound ever recorded on Earth was the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883, which produced a sound that could be heard over 4,800 kilometers (3,000 miles) away.
The sound of a whip cracking is actually a small sonic boom created by the tip of the whip traveling faster than the speed of sound.
The speed of sound changes depending on the temperature and humidity of the air.

Warmer and more humid air slows down sound waves.
The sound of thunder is caused by the rapid heating and expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt.
And finally, sound can affect the taste of food.

Studies have shown that people rate food as less sweet when they are in a noisy environment.
If you're a sound nerd like us and make your own sound effects for work or as a hobby, you should probably check out the SFX Swap!

It's a monthly crowd-sourced project where you can get tons of free sounds by sharing some of your own.
