A US woman living in Australia has been left baffled by an “insane” noise she heard while on a beach on the Gold Coast.
Tate Duane, from California, who goes by the TikTok handle “twaynne” has racked up more than 12.5 million views on her clips mainly about her experiences Down Under.“This is literally insane, I’ve never heard squeaky sand before,” she says, before asking followers, “How and why does the sand squeak in the Gold Coast.”
In fact, the pearly white beach in Victoria earned the nickname “The Squeaky Beach” due to the high-pitched shrill that it produces. Science ABC said the squeaking sound was caused by friction between the rounded grains of quartz in the sand.“The fine, rounded grains of quartz sand compress under your feet, creating a high-pitched squeak.”“Can someone please explain to me how every single person in Queensland is so stunningly beautiful,” she said.
