Marble bouncing sound.

This simple bouncing marble activity is easy to set up but provides tons of fun for the kids. Try making the marble trampolines using different size cups. All files are available in both wav and mp3 formats. Or worse still the unit upstairs is empty.

There are single bounces then at the end there are repeating bounces. A nice high pitch ping sound. Ic was staying in in her daughters room and would hear it at random times mostly wee hours in the. The last time you checked the neighbour upstairs doesn t play with marbles.

This is a recording of a marble bouncing on a tile. As the water flows away or air dissipates the sound resonates more loudly before fading away imitating the sound of a dropped marble bouncing on the floor then rolling across it. You will notice that the sound that the different cups will make different sounds as the marbles bounce up and down. I used to hear the marble sound almost nightly like a marble was dropped bounced a few times and then rolled.

For awhile it happened about every 5 seconds but it happened randomly too. The aunt and uncles house was partially built over my kitchen. The other sound i only heard about four times. The most common is a tapping cracking sort of sound in the wall.

This consisted of stairs hallway bedroom and bathroom that were all above us. You re just about to go to bed but you hear the sound of marbles bouncing coming from the unit above you. The first time i experienced the marble drop bounce n roll sound was when i moved into my daughters house.
