World Scale Disappearing of the Memory of Singing Sand （20

Musical sand including both singing sand in the beach and booming sand in the
desert, is the natural work of art that has been created during the long history
of the earth. The sand is mysterious sound has been worshipped as a religious
symbol, and it has also brought up a human sense of beauty. Besides, the sands
react sensitively to air and sea water pollution as a natural sensor because
musical sand is now an important inheritance of the earth. The singing sand
in the beach is a small scale phenomenon. The booming sand in the desert is
a very large scale one. The sounding mechanism and the quality of the sounds
are essentially, same. Both sands are mainly composed of silica sand. Harmonic
(musical) tone is charming to the human auditory sense, hence the sand is called
singing or musical sand throughout the world, for example, the sand of KOTO
(Japanese harp) during old times. Singing properties of the sand is very sensitive
to pollution, which can access a sensor for it. Hence, Musical sand including

Singing properties of the sand is very sensitive to pollution, which can access

The booming sand in the desert is a very large scale one, but the sounding mechanism
and the quality of the sounds are essentially the same. Both sands are mainly
composed of silica sand. Harmonic (musical) tone is charming to the human auditory
sense, hence the sand is called singing or musical sand throughout the world,
for example, the sand of KOTO (Japanese harp) during the old days. Hence, the
sound producing property of singing sand on the beach is a sign that shows purity
of sea-water. If we can recover the clean sea, the sands in the world will recover
the song. Nature can be revived by the sound of wave motion in the sea or wind
action in the desert, through whoever hope for the restoration of the wonderful
sound. Booming sand in desert is also killed by crowded tourists in many places.
Now, the musical sands which include both sands above are confronted by two
difficulties induced by their environmental changes. From the result of field
surveys, we would like to show the situations by this report. Sounds are essentially
the same. Both sands are mainly composed of silica sand. Harmonic (musical)
tone is charming to the human auditory sense, hence the sand is called singing
or musical sand throughout the world, for example, the sand of KOTO (Japanese
harp) during the old days. It is a sign that shows purity of sea-water. If we
can recover clean sea, the sands in the world will recover the song.

1. Preface
Besides, a musical instrument in the world is the same ahead of a race and culture.
It is "a sound" of a tone la of the musical scale do, re, mi, fa,
so, la, and si. A basis of tuning says musical instruments do, of rehearsal
with a tuning fork of 440 Hz. It calls, and sand is called singing sand, or
musical sand other than squeaking sand in English. As for the sound, front and
back of 400 Hz include basic frequency. Furthermore, a harmonic overtone of
integer times of this frequency conflicts. It calls, and sand is English, and
it is singing sand, or a reason called musical sand. Now , in the world, the
place is remaining silent in secret. There are many examples that beach itself
was completely lost in addition to silence. Because direct harm does not extend
to the human it calls, and sand being lost promptly now, a researcher wrestling
seriously is not. In addition, a study lies scattered in a large domain, and
it is difficult that I gather it. If I will not record it, Is a, limited range
from the sense of impending crisis with this report, but of the world called,
and compiled history of study and the present conditions of sand.
2. Old Testament (Exodus)
It called with the Old Testament (Exodus), and, according to "the description
of appearance Egypt" Chapter 19 of the sand "Old Testament (Up to
date real information are on www is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Sinai).
"The story that was a, wonder was introduced into Muses Mountain neighborhood
of a peninsula between the people who went on a trip for a long time".
A bell is for there to be a sounding mountain. It is a certain ordinary mountain
of sands, but gives a big sound in a neighborhood of Al Tor to remove. The Arabs
who lived there believed that the sounds are a bell (Nakuh) which there was
a monastery buried the underground, and a priest called monks. Beginning the
19th century, scientists who went for of a person visited this place, and, was
going to elucidate the true self. According to the recording documents (4.7),
it a low hill of the sandstone that is in these neighborhood runs (this sandstone
is roots of sand). It called with the Old Testament Exodus), and, according
to "the description of appearance Egypt" Chapter 19 of the sand "Old
Testament "The story (that was a, wonder was introduced into Muses Mountain
neighborhood of a peninsula between the people who went on a trip for a long
time". A bell is for there to be a sounding mountain. There is fierce slope

Bank of approximately 30 m high and hears the sound that, is occasionally terrible
in, this place.
German Natural historian Seetzen,U.J.(1767-1811) (http://archaeology.about.com/od/sterms/g/seetzenuj.htm),
Seetzen, visited this place in 1810, first noticed this circumstance, say that;
“ at first it somewhat resembles the tone of an aeolian harp, afterwards that
to shake.
To the imagination of the Arabians, it resembles the tones of El Nakuh, a long
board, suspended in a horizontal position in Greek monasteries, and there used
instead of a bell, a mode of calling together the deyout now nearly prohibited:
hence also probably the tale that a monastery is concealed in the hill.
Seetzen, although be has not attempted a full explanation of the sound, maintain
that it is produced by the grating of the coarse dry sand along the surface
of the rock. This very obvious explanation does not appear to have been considered
satisfactory, for we find an English travelers, Mr.Gray, who visited this place
in 1818, of another opinion. He considers the grating of the sand not as the
cause, but as effect, of the sound, and maintains, in common with some other
trailers, that the sound must, from the existence of hot-springs, viz. those
of Hamam Faraulm, in the neighborhood, be of volcanic origin, although he can
give no other reason for this opinion.
It is certainly not easy, and probably without experiment not possible, to chew
how the rolling or sliding of sand down an inclined plane, could produce the
remarkable noise heard at Nakhh.
Notwithstanding this, the opinion of Seetzen has been confirmed by Professor
Ehrenberg, who, in the yea r 1823, also visited this remarkable place.
He ascended from the base of the hill, over its cover of sand, to the summit,
where he observed the sand continually renewed by the weathering of the rock;
and convinced himself that the motion of the sand was the cause of the sound.
Every step he and his opinion took caused a partial sound, occasioned by the
sand thus set in motion, and differing only in continuance and intensity from
that heard afterwards, when the continued ascent had set loose a greater quantity
of sand.
Beginning with a soft rustling, it passed gradually into a murmuring, then into
a humming noise, and at length into a threatening, of such violence, that it
could only be compared with distant cannonade, had it been more continued and
uniform's the sand gradually settled again, the noise also gradually ceased.
From the account of Seetzen, it is also known that this noise is often heard
when animals run across the sand; also when the wind blows violently, or when
loose masses of rock set the sand in motion. The sand of Nakuh is rather coase
granular, and composed of fragments of transparent quartz. (Edingurgh.Phil.J.:[Jan}74-75(1830)
Furthermore, Professor Ehrenberg took a friend in 1823 and visited this ground
and did, detailed observation. He tried to go up it from the lower part of the
hill to top and gave a sound every one pair of, ****In addition, the, beginning
is quiet Chinese-style pronunciation of a character, but I am up to, and it
is it in a high sound, and it is it in the, big sound that, which far-off, seem
to shoot a cannon should be surprised at last that I let a large quantity of
sand drop along a slope. Even if this sound and, are generated when an animal
runs on the dune across, and, and wind blow intensely and move sand, the same
sound appears. In addition, sand of this place adds it that it was transparent
quartz (this is booming sand to say now). A lot of people visited this ground
afterwards, and a cause of a mysterious sound and the aspect were up to, and
it was elucidated,***. It is what aroused interest of exploration people more
and more that I say the place, and, says the size that you should be surprised
at of the sound, and, is right just in a description of "a description

"on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightening.--The
descent of God was signalized by every object imagination can conceive connected
with the ideas of grandeur and of awe. But all was in keeping with the character
of the law about to be proclaimed. As the mountain burned with fire, God was
exhibited as a consuming fire to the transgressors of His law. The thunder and
lightning, more awful amid the deep stillness of the region and reverberating
with terrific peals among the mountains, would rouse the universal attention;
a thick cloud was an apt emblem of the dark and shadowy dispensation ."
3. C.R.Darwin (1809 -1882)

" April 19th. Leaving Socego, during the two first days, we retraced our
steps.
It was very wearisome work, as the road generally ran across a glaring hot sandy
plain, not far from the coast.
I noticed that each time the horse put its foot on the fine siliceous sand,
a gentle chirping noise was produced.

with care. This show his exceptionally talented genus as explorer. After the
three years, came across the same phenomenon again. Besides, as for it, I am

-- We gladly traveled down the valley to our former night's lodging, and thence
to near the Agua amarga. On July 1st we reached the valley of Copiapo. The smell
of the fresh clover was quite delightful, after the scentless air of the dry,
sterile Despoblado. Whilst staying in the town I heard an account from several
of the inhabitants, of a hill in the neighborhood which they called "El
Bramador," -- the roarer or bellower. I did not at the time pay sufficient
attention to the account; but, as far as I understood, the hill was covered
by sand, and the noise was produced only when people, by ascending it, put the
sand in motion. The same circumstances are described in detail on the authority
of Seetzen and Ehrenberg, as the cause of the sounds which have been heard by
many travellers on Mount Sinai near the Red Sea.
One person with whom I conversed had himself heard the noise: he described it
as very surprising; and he distinctly stated that, although he could not understand
how it was caused, yet it was necessary to set the sand rolling down the acclivity.
A horse walking over dry coarse sand, causes a peculiar chirping noise from
the friction of the particles; a circumstance which I several times noticed
on the coast of Brazil. Three days afterwards I heard of the Beagle's arrival
at the Port, distant eighteen leagues from the town. There is very little land
cultivated down the valley; its wide expanse supports a wretched wiry grass,
which even the donkeys can hardly eat. This poorness of the vegetation is owing
to the quantity of saline matter with which the soil is impregnated. The Port
consists of an assemblage of miserable little hovels, situated at the foot of
a sterile plain. At present, as the river contains water enough to reach the
sea, the inhabitants enjoy the advantage of having fresh water within a mile
and a half. On the beach there were large piles of merchandise, and the little
place had an air of activity. In the evening I gave my adios, with a hearty
good-will, to my companion Mariano Gonzales, with whom I had ridden so many
leagues in Chile. The next morning the Beagle sailed for Iquique.
4. Henry David Thoreau (http://www.transcendentalists.com/thoreau_biography.htm)
Henry David Thoreau (who was a, thinker a and a poet of America in theese day
writed to a description of that day for the 19th century. "There is musical
Sand in Southeast 1 mile of Manchester village".I was found the smaller
beach similar sand in the East of an Eagle head I noticed the sound for strong,
and having tried to strolongly scratch the surface by top of umbrella or a finger-tip.
If I went down in a heel powerfully, and scratched the surfaca of the sand,
I can hear more bigger sound. The person named R, who does not hear a sound,
he said that it seems to be a sound when we rubs against the surface of the
glass. I think that it is just like a sound when paint a table with wax. One
grain of sand knows other grains of sand and when I can rub it, and a sound
of sand is sound, namely squeaking I constituted.sound. The sound of high wave
wave the crowd had the, consider others not to be it in a result of friction
of a grain of sand which it is prepared especially, and was big noise rudely,
but ,10m left a sound to give by a heel of a friend and were able to hear even,
it. Even if the wave is quiet, you can hear the sound more than 20m distant.
It is the oldest record that in American, it was written, about musical sand
so long as it is none of, and, I know it of the oldest documents that the description
which tried scientific explanation about the cause that, sand produce a sound.
In addition,, was boiling processing as it is, but the pronunciation characteristic
did not recover, but the sand which I obtained from my son who visited the actual
place in 2000 had the property that sand originally called from the particle
characteristic, and it was it to sand. Completely forgot it, and was left call,
and is the beach of sand.
