#What causes the sound of a gunshot update

The first one in particular covers quite a bit in a short article. If youвЂ™d like a general overview about how noise affects health, IвЂ™ve gathered a few articles and studies you can review. Update: JUpdated some content, tested and updated links, and replaced graphics

#What causes the sound of a gunshot update

Update references are included in the text. Update: JVerified links and updated content as necessary. Information on noise and concussion specifically isnвЂ™t available much, as it hasnвЂ™t been looked at yet in detail as far as I can tell. When you look at all this, you will have to take a leap and apply it to concussion. I canвЂ™t imagine you could review it all in one sitting, as it took me a few weeks to review and collect everything. My thought is that you could read it and then go back and review all the content available through the links. However, I wanted to get all this in one place.

IвЂ™ve gathered quite a bit of information here for you to review. There is much data available, and I think itвЂ™s time to look at it from the perspective of concussion recovery and management. ItвЂ™s recognized as a serious public health issue. Noise causes problems with concentration, sleep, fatigue, headaches, psychological issues such as anxiety, and increased heart rate. YouвЂ™ll find that noise can cause the issues commonly attributed to concussion. Check any list of concussion symptoms and then review information about noise effects on health. In this post, IвЂ™m pulling together information from many sources that show how noise creates symptoms that are attributed to concussion. The more I research it, the more sure I am that itвЂ™s a major factor to look at in-depth. While scientists have been able to exclude numerousВ theories, they still have not been able to land on the explanation for the Seneca Guns.Noise is a key factor in concussions and affects recovery. Explanations for these occurrences include underwater caves collapsing, angry ghosts, distant thunder reverberations, meteorsВ entering the atmosphere,В and the continental shelf falling into the ocean. The Seneca Guns are similar to phenomena in other parts of the world, such as the вЂњBarisal gunsвЂќ inВ India and Bangladesh, the вЂњUminariвЂќ in Japan and the вЂњMistpouffersвЂќ on the coast of the Netherlands and Belgium. In 2001, a study installed a seismograph in a 1,300-foot borehole near the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, to attempt to detect earthquakes but the project was never able to record any results. Seismologists with Duke University speculate that the вЂњgunsвЂќ are somehow atmospheric in origin, suggesting that the vibrations come from above ground level, instead of from below.

However, they determined that they cannot be connected to earthquakes detected by seismographs. Geological Survey, surmised that the most probable cause for Seneca guns would be shallow earthquakes occurring offshore. The Seneca Gun rumbles can be heard at all times of the year, but they occur most often in Fall or when there is a cooling off in the weather. Theories have included everything from military jets breaking sound barriers, although the Seneca Guns have been reported since the 1850s, to underwater earthquakes. The reverberations of the Seneca Guns have been loud enough to shake and rattle houses on land, but never enough to cause any damage to date. These loud booms are only heard in coastal areas, however, they are never heard at sea. The name is claimed to be Seneca attributed to both Seneca Lake in Upstate New York, where the sounds are heard often or from a Civil War battle in Seneca, Georgia where the sounds mimicВ the booms of the cannon fire. Not even the name itself can be confirmed. While many theories exist, none have been definitely proven. To date, there is no scientific explanation for this phenomenon. The Seneca Guns are loud booming noises, most often described as sounding like thunder or a cannon being shot, and can feel like a small earthquake on land. While not unique to the Carolina coast, the Seneca Guns are certainly most common along our shores.
