Today, modern science developed, it is this mystery of scientific inquiry and speculation, the mystery of ringing the Minsha Hills There are three main types explained: one for static audible.Minsha Hills sand in the human or wind driven down pouring, the sand contains quartz crystal static friction with each other. Electrostatic discharge that is audible, the sound of pool, big thundering sound.
Two for the audible friction. Hot weather, the sand and in particular drying temperature increased. A little friction, can be issued by the bursting of sound, together with the convergence of the public voice would boom to ring. Three for the resonance amplification. Dune peaks formed a gully between the valley, is the natural resonance box. Quicksand collapse when the friction sound or discharge acoustic resonance, the natural resonance of the resonance box, enlarge the volume, the formation of enormous back sound.
