Your ability to hear a pin drop depends on the surface on which it's dropped

It's much easier to hear a pin drop when you drop it on an amplified microphone.

Can we pause for a second and think about how amazing our ears are? You can literally hear a needle drop in another room.

What's the power level involved in that? Couple of micro watts? Plus the square cube law and you end up with nano or even pico watts reaching your ear.

And your ears dynamic range is literally from a needle drop to a chainsaw at full throttle.

That's the landing, does the drop make a sound too?

i heard a pin drop on my bed one time all the way from the other room
