Dieseltech20 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Do you want someone from a Death Metal band or a Hardcore band? There is a huge difference. The answer is neither, someone from a Black Metal band would be more fitting. 1 Quote
BansheeFanShe Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I'm going to give it a shot. Why not! My family always tells me I'm loud and can wake the dead. Ill let you all know when I decide which Friday I go. 4 Quote
Darth Munson Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 My wife will be giving it a try this Friday 1 Quote
Tanna Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Do you want someone from a Death Metal band or a Hardcore band? There is a huge difference. The answer is neither, someone from a Black Metal band would be more fitting. No way. Geddy Lee. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I guess you have never listened to Black Metal before. Geddy can actually sing while Black Metal vocals are normally unintelligible high pitched shrieks and screams that are more akin to a Banshee than an actual singer. Death Metal is growls and Hard Core is shouted/barked. 1 Quote
jackparanoia Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I suggest someone trying to perfect the Blixa scream. It starts at about 1:37. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 ^^I have a feeling Thrill Biscuit is going to have to comment on that. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 On the subject of the Banshee screaming contest... At least one poster here can say that he participated last Friday. It was moved to the KI Theater because of the weather, and he got to see behind the scenes of that stage because of his participation. He didn't win, but they do give you a free t-shirt for participating.Not that that poster was me, of course. I'd never do that...[in raspy whisper:] Where'd I put those throat lozenges... 7 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Which screamer were you, because many of the males sounded more like mating calls or dropping bombs than a scream 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I was the one on the stage. 6 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 No ****...haha I hope the video Don was shooting next to me comes up with all the entries...Man some guys were....wow lol 1 Quote
Tanna Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 And.... he looks like one, too. But I'm still mad about the boy. He can probably give the ride statistics While Banshee-ing. If that's a word. 1 Quote
thoe124 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 AUGH! It already happened? I thought it was the 27th and 28th! :( Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 It's every Friday during Haunt. You've got five more nights to give it a shot! 3 Quote

malem Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 The park shared a picture of tonight's contest via Twitter: A strong field of competitors tonight for the "Scream Like A Banshee" contest at Haunt. My question: since this is a competition to find the loudest scream, why is that microphone needed? 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 They connect the microphone to a program that measures sound volume. The winner is actually determined by the biggest numerical volume, not just by whoever subjectively "seems" the loudest. The winner last Friday was somewhere around 130-133 decibels. 5 Quote
upstop Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Why is the microphone so low???? Are the Half Pint Brawlers in the house tonight? 4 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 No idea. Last week's microphone was equally low. Quote
homestar92 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Why is the microphone so low???? Are the Half Pint Brawlers in the house tonight? If I had to guess, I'd guess it's due to the phenomena in digital recording known as "Clipping". Let's not get me on a digital vs. analog tirade though. 1 Quote
malem Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 From reading the official rules, I figured that they were using an actual decibel meter for judging. Taking the volume from a vocal mic is going to be less accurate. (Not that it really matters.) If I had to guess, I'd guess it's due to the phenomena in digital recording known as "Clipping". Let's not get me on a digital vs. analog tirade though. Clipping applies to analog as well. The mic has a maximum response, which doesn't depend on whether you use an analog or digital recording system to measure it. 1 Quote
upstop Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I could probably get ten decibels if I got on stage, turned around and let one rip.....wonder if they would accept that as a scream....LOL 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 That's....frightening. Imagine a smell-o-meter. 3 Quote
YoungStud Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 My ride with 12 15's in college could do 155db. 1 Quote
Darth Munson Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I gave it my best shot. 124.1. But 127 won my competition the shirt is sweet though 1 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 If I won the competition I wouldn't even go to Knotts! I'd spend my time there at Disney! 2 Quote
