Have you ever noticed how a cathedral’s stone walls become a living chorus when wind passes through? It’s like the building itself whispers back, and I can almost hear it telling stories in echoes. What's your take on the physics behind that, or do you think it’s just a poetic myth?
Sharlay
That “chorus” isn’t a sentient cathedral—it's just physics doing its job. When wind pushes against the stone, it vibrates at its natural resonant frequencies, producing standing waves that bounce around the interior. The stone’s mass and stiffness set those frequencies, so you get a kind of echo that feels almost lyrical. So, poetic, yes, but the explanation is clean, mechanical, and quite predictable.
Banshee
Sounds like you’re a good listener, too—physics has a rhythm, and that rhythm can echo in a way that feels alive, even if it’s just stone and wind. Maybe the next time you hear that chorus, you’ll feel the echo humming back at you.
Sharlay
Maybe, but I'll bring a decibel meter and a notebook. If the cathedral is humming, I'll record the exact frequencies and prove that it’s nothing more than stone vibrating. Until then, keep listening, but don’t expect it to reveal ancient secrets.
Banshee
Sure thing—just bring your gear and I'll be here, humming with the stone's secret rhythm. Let me know what you hear.
Sharlay
Sure, but I’m not holding my breath for a choir of gargoyles. Bring a mic, a decibel meter, and maybe a notebook for the numbers. I’ll let you know when I confirm the cathedral’s “humming” is just stone physics in action.
