Three Problems With Sound Blasting For Bigfoot


North American Great Ape blog posted an interesting article on the effectiveness (or should we say "ineffectiveness") of sound blasting. Matt Moneymoney, who was the first to introduced sound blasting and howling as a technique for locating Bigfoots, has used this technique in nearly every episode of Finding Bigfoot. Now popularized by the TV show, this research tactic is now becoming more widely used by both experts and amateurs.

The North American Great Ape article lists three reasons why sound blasting may be counter productive in finding Bigfoot:

1. We do not know for sure if the sounds being blasted are actual bigfoot recordings.

2. Assuming the sound is from a bigfoot, we do not know what message each sound is supposed to convey. For all we know we could be telling them: “Run away!”

3. It is possible that bigfoots can tell the difference between a real vocalization and an audio recording.

You can read the full article here.

If you're still trying to argue with us that Moneymaker wasn't the first person to introduce sound blasting, please go take it up with Animal Planet because it's right there on Matt Moneymaker's short bio. Here's a snippet from the website:

Matt Moneymaker is well known among bigfoot researchers and is credited with being...

... the first person who introduced sound blasting and howling as a technique for locating bigfoots.

... the first person who proposed and argued the connection between bigfoot sightings and deer kill stashes, after being shown evidence by Mennonite Farmers in Ohio.

... the first person to record the long moaning howl of a big male sasquatch — the "Ohio Howl."

... the first to formally describe the knock sounds made by bigfoots in 1992, at a scientific conference at Rutgers University for the International Society of Cryptozoology.

... the first person to organize big expeditions to gather observations and evidence in various parts of North America.

... the first person to debunk the "Georgia Bigfoot Body" hoax in the summer of 2008.

    5. That's probably former JREF footer "BravesFan". A classic closet bleever of epic proportions, he was banned recently from JREF so he's angry and lashing out because he has no where else to post about his favorite cryptid
      because he was also banned from the BFF. A massive simpleton.
      451 is definitely a JREF footer....LOL

    6. Why should we cater for trolls, they can beep off all the same. They don't really want evidence - which there's plenty of already - they just like to irritate people with convictions they can't comprehend themselves, so once it's proven these smallminders will find some other subject unknown to them and troll there.

    7. Why are you wasteing your time on this site then? Is life that bad all you have left to do is harrass people and look like a fool. I could say your narrow minded and are afraid of things you don't understand, but no sense telling you what you already know, you already wasted enough time respond to your silly post.

    8. It is interesting to see believer buffoons flocking to hoaxed evidence like moths to a flame. It is freaking hilarious.

    9. First, many of the sound recordings have been obtained during a sighting. Second, If we can fool a human being with an audio recording due to high tech software and HD sound, why would we not be able to fool a Sasquatch. So, is it an exact science? No, but it does make some sense. The only point made in the article that I tend to agree with would be the "what are they actually saying" comment. Who knows, the call blasing might be shouting to them, "leave the area, humans are here"!

  2. Also not mentioned is:

    ....the first person to think everything that breaks a twig in woods is bigfoot.

    ....the first person to think that any sound heard in the woods is almost certainly a squatch

    ....the first person to believe almost anything if it means a bigfoot is in the area

    4. Sorry I am a trail runner. I have run many wilderness trails in many states out west including Oregon and Washington. I have seen animal carcasses. No evidence of Bigfoot. Squeal like a pig silly hoomin!

    5. right on 451, that sums it up nicely. Fatsino, snowpacker, dyer, is calling him a troll the best you can do? But again, youve all been called that so much growing up as a child that i guess you are comfortable using it.

  4. Matt Moneymaker knows at least 100 things about bigfoot but for some reason cannot find one. Could it be that he simply makes money off the legend of bigfoot? Pun intended.

  7. I think a 4th reason would be having 2+ groups howling at each other and believing the other is the real thing.

    This in turns could generate false reporting, hoaxers going out of their way to howl back, hyper-sense of reality and suddenly every thing becomes a Sasquatch as the night gets darker, hikers getting the crap scared out of them and reporting on forums of what they heard, etc.

    1. Haha, very true. I can see this happening. And I feel for the hikers who are just out looking for a quiet night in the woods.

    2. Who hikes through the woods at night?

      Delete
    3. Night hikes make it much more exciting -- it feels "authentic" and takes people out of their comfort zones, while highlighting the "bravery" and "experience" of the BFRO lead. You don't get all that for free.

      Delete
    4. Not to mention squatches are nocturnal and will approach a group of people doing a night hike where they won't do so in the day.

      Delete
    5. They're not nocturnal as a species, that's the old belief based on the outdated ape theory meant to animalize them. They merely move around at night because it's safer not for any biological reason, they're as much out during the day same as it is for us.

  8. The "experts" and "amateurs" are actually both amateurs. Until some method of finding the creatures and obtaining proof they exist is found, there are no experts.

  9. Call blasting only works if you have a known context with a known behavioral response you are trying to elicit. I think of how call blasting works with loins... we use sounds of known prey in distress or a lioness in heat to elicit an investigative response, because we we know these sounds and can expect a behavioral response. To put this in a human context, if you played a recording of a woman screaming, "Help!" and bloody murder down a dark ally and an angry, barking, growling dog down another... I'll bet we could predict the response. Help the girl, avoid the dog, right?!
    If a recording of a "howl" doesn't seem to be working, I'd suggest changing the context completely, until a desired response is found to be repeatable... One could consider "Howling" into the night to be proven ineffective, at this point. Mix it up, or be quiet and wait for some behavioral studies.

  14. YOU FORGOT TO MENTION HAVING 5 BIGFOOT GROUPS INVADING A BIGFOOT HOTSPOT AND ALL OF THEM CALL BLASTING AND TREE KNOCKING CAN U IMAGINE THE CIRCUS !

  15. It has been worth trying as a means to evoke a response, but field methods evolve and we should consider moving on now. Sasquatch usually know you are there already so no need to alert them to your presence to bring them in. Secondly, and has been suggested, we cannot be sure that call blasting or vocal calling is expressing a specific and useful message. Thirdly, it probably just annoys the hell out of local sasquatches and reduces the chances of a calm and confident approach by them. Would you like someone marching into your home and start yelling? Irritating sasquatches might produce a reaction sometimes, but it's not likely be a positive one. They will just move away until those irritating humans have gone.

  16. Moneymaker was the first to introduced us to the Internet. Oh wait, that was Al Gore, oh wait wasn't that the Global Warming? Shoot I am confused, who's on first? Moneymaker claims to be first in areas that don't matter and can not be proven. Just like me I am the first to say the sun is responsible for our climate change, period! I claimed that over ten years ago. Wow am I famous now? Does it matter? Can I prove it?

  18. That's a lot of self proclaimed firsts. Moneymaker earned a reputation as the most combative, competitive, and dirty Bfer out there, and well deserved. He has created more trouble in the community than his contributions and shows little respect for humans, Sasquatch, or the truth. He is big on money though. A total ass IMO and not terribly bright. 25 years searching and little to show for it, but a wake of bad karma.

  23. i don't think they would know the difference between human or non human, we are humans, we are smarter than them, therefore we can out smart them
    i think call blasting is a good technique, i have heard some pretty good responses, despite we dont know whet they mean, i just know it works.
