First, electrostatic sound.

The sand grains in Mingsha Mountain flow downward under the push of manpower or wind, and the sand grains containing timely crystals rub against each other to generate static electricity. Electrostatic discharge makes a sound, and the sound is collected and loud as thunder.

When the weather is hot, the sand is particularly dry and the temperature rises. A little friction will make a crackling sound, and all the sounds will rumble when they touch together.

Third, * * * sound amplification.

Gully valleys are formed between the peaks of the sand mountain, which is a natural sound box. The friction sound or discharge sound when quicksand falls causes * * * vibration, and the volume is amplified after the * * * sound of the natural * * sound box, forming a huge echo sound.
