  Honestly I only heard one of the sounds ppl are saying there. It was def a fart but honestly underwhelming compared to what I was hoping for. Still def a fart or worse. Idk how micophones work and all that but if it was trump and he sitting down behind a desk the fart or shart had a good amount of gusto

    Here’s my unhelpful contribution: I believe microphones work using piezoelectricity and I also think that’s really cool (that it exists and that humanity found a use for it).

      That’s one type. Condenser style microphones are another. Even regular speakers can be used as (mediocre) microphones.

      But “generating electricity by bending crystals” is by far the coolest one.

        It for sure does not surprise me that other kinds of microphones exist, but I strongly agree with your last sentence.

      Er, afaik popular mics are basically a speaker working in reverse, while piezoelectricity is employed in contact mics, which have rather peculiar use-cases.

      Quoth Wikipedia:

      The most common are the dynamic microphone, which uses a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field; the condenser microphone, which uses the vibrating diaphragm as a capacitor plate; and the contact microphone, which uses a crystal of piezoelectric material.

      The two uses for piezo mics that I’ve encountered are Brian Chippendale slapping one on his throat for the vocals; and a very curious bowed wooden musical instrument, wherein the mic picks up the sound.

        Perhaps I’m confused, but your wiki quote itself references piezoelectricity (a word I’m pretty surprised is in my keyboard’s dictionary). Am I misunderstanding?

  Doubt its what this video claims
