Musical Houseflies The Unusual ’Hum’ in the Key of F

Title: “Musical Houseflies: The Unusual ’Hum’ in the Key of F“ Houseflies, those common and often pesky insects, hold a curious secret – they emit a faint humming sound in the key of F. This sonic phenomenon, typically unnoticed by the human ear due to its high pitch, is created when houseflies rapidly beat their wings. The wing beats, which can number in the hundreds per second, generate vibrations that produce this subtle auditory signature. Researchers have found that the key of F is the most common tonality in the housefly’s “melodic“ repertoire. While the humming of a housefly might not be music to our ears, it’s a fascinating reminder of the hidden symphonies in the natural world, often existing beyond our perception. #flies #flyfishing #macro #flytying #insects #fly #trout #nature #fishing #flyfishingaddict #flytyingjunkie #insect #browntrout #macrophotography #troutfishing #troutflies #euronymphing #flytyingaddict #flyfishingjunkie #flyfi
