Whenever there is a loud noise, my cube pops. Does cube usually do this?



(I am serious.)
 
i never heard that before. That is realllyyyy weirdddd. I always have loud noises when i'm cubing. Maybe your cube is too loose
 
Loud noise = turning fast + hitting something while turning = pop?

wait. does your cube make the loud noises or do you?
LOL i have no idea
 
No, loud noises do not directly make your cube pop.

Wow, that was polite. :)

Anyway, my cube pops only right after I eat a banana if it's a thursday 4:23 PM!!!

Seriously: It's probably that you are not hearing your cube sound anymore, you lose your confidence and you start to solve it harder which makes it pop. I guess...

The increased vibrations in the air causes pieces in some cubes to misalign, if it is close to the cube's natural frequency. Similar to breaking a wine glass with sound, but plastic doesn't shatter like glass does.

(I'm kidding).
 
Maybe, as Patrick said the sounds in the surroundings approach the natural frecuency of your cube, but that is highly improbable!
 
Have you ever thought about the noises' effects on your own body?

For instance, a loud surprise noise could make your muscles contract ending in a turning FAIL and an ugly pop...

That is more probable than resonance... A LOT more... like a 100% more...

Funny, I do the same thing... except I didn't train myself to do it :) The only "training" I did was accidentally finding out how to wiggle my ears. Eventually when something surprised me, I normally would just pull my ears back, instead of jumping or tensing up like I used to do. Something has to be really surprising for me to jump. :p
 
i didn't really notice it until you said something lol i think it just makes you jump a little i mean ill listen to music when i cube and that doesn't make me pop but if you hear somthing random you probably jump a little and that is what causes pops
