too cool. can you hear me? why do people say “can you feel me?” today?

Was Stonehenge designed for sound as well as sight? It may well have been if the work of Trevor Cox and his peers are any indication. After “finger printing” the individual stones to measure the location’s “impulse response,” the acousticians plotted echo patterns and ran “anechoic” recordings of drumming through them on a computer.

Listen to the impulse response drumming from the incomplete original of Stonehenge and another from the impulse response of the replica of the complete Stonehenge at Maryhill, Washington in the U.S.
