Does anyone in visual perception know why you can hear this gif?pic.twitter.com/mcT22Lzfkp

My favourite explanation so far is that this triggers the acoustic reflex, which is usually triggered by speech or loud noises. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_reflex …

It would be a cool student project to develop and test predictions from this hypothesis. How essential is the camera shake? Can the effect interfere with perception of real auditory stimuli? What predicts individual differences in who experiences it?

I don't see how acoustic reflex can be anything to do with this. Effect examined in this paper seems a more likely place to start looking

That paper seems to be entirely about congruency of simultaneous audio and visual stimuli, not illusory audition. But I’ll add it to the list of hypotheses. Thanks!!

Whilst studying/working as an audiologist I have felt my acoustic reflexes and when watching this the feeling was similar but less intense
-
I can do it voluntarily, but I think most peop can’t and it’s hard to describe to them what it’s like. Do you know of a way to reliably trigger the acoustic reflex (besides making really loud noises)?

I'm an audiologist & work with AR all the time. It's elicited by loud sounds, but does not create sound itself. In fact, it should work to dampen sounds. I would venture that it's more a perception happening in the brain & not a measurable physical response in the auditory system

Yeah its almost like the thudding sound is in my head. Its like I dont really hear it, and also im aware im not actually hearing something.

I think it is because of a Dr. Who episode or some other freak movie.
