I just had a horrible, horrible discovery. I had the speaker sound on my laptop cranked up and boy did I hear a lot more sound which turned out to be a bit more, um, too "revealing" for the ear, so to speak. What I was hearing certainly sounded exactly what it sounded like. I wished the guy who told me didn't do that when he strongly suggested that I go and listen to a "certain" deaf vlog did I realize what I was listening to. Even though those particular vlogs I avoid like the plague. Not even interested in them. But with my friend's insistence he told me to go and listen to it and turn up the volume. I cranked up my laptop's speaker, not bothering to watch the horrid video, and suddenly I can hear the unmistakeable sound of, well, um, two hacky sacks slapping rhythmically against something for about 22 seconds and then from there on you can hear the rhythmic squeaking of a bed that vary in intensity and speed for over 2 minutes. You get the picture. Either this has happened for real or somebody is playing a very loud, um, happy movie. But happy movie it ain't. Get somebody who can hear and ask him or her to listen to it. And see what they say and perhaps confirm it. Figure it out yourselves. I shall not name who, what or where. Make sure your hearing kids are not around, too.
A valuable tip for the deaf folks out there whenever you videotape yourselves. Please, please! turn off your microphone first! Nobody want to hear these sordid grunting noises, the slapping of hacky sacks, squeaky bed sounds, the groaning or screams of torture sound (in no particular order) emanating from your video. Check it once, check it twice, make sure your microphone is off before you even began video-taping yourselves for your vlogs.
Now, I need to go and take a shower. Once is enough.

OMG
I've heard lots of sounds, but nothing like what you described.
Ahem.
Good advice, Mike!
Note to all for those who comment here. If you try to clue in to help readers where to find this vlog, I will not approve your comment.
Find another way.
And I hope ya'll understand about my moderating attempt here. And thank you for your comments, even if they don't go through.
Aw, crap. No wonder I kept seeing that and I wasn't too sure if I -really- want to. And now you mentioned it, I'm piqued about it. Unfortunately, it's down. Good tip on the microphone. I haven't figured out how to do that on my camera.
Ok, it was what I thought it was. Ok, yes I have heard it before (the first time) but ... I wasn't sure wtf that was and thought it might be an appliance or something. now you mentioned it, and i went "... no way that can't be." -cringe-
Finlake, it is still up.
Mike,
You made no mention of loud grunting noise emitting from a deaf vlogger's mouth. Was it intentional?
Usually, I'd hear occassional yowling. Apparently she/he is not aware of making unpleasant-sounding din. I'm not referring to anyone in particular.
Interesting observation!
Kevin, yes, interesting observation...unfortunately.
Man, that video! How embarrassing!! Found it but won't say who or where since Mike will delete it if I do give out some hints. Ha ha. Good blog!
