Kind of like the way a rattle snake rattling will surround you when you’re close. I’m hard of hearing but a gobbling and drumming turkey are easy for me to hear.

I haven't heard it in the wild yet, but I can definitely hear it on video. If your speakers don't have any ability to prouce bass, like a cell phone or small computer speakers, the drumming won't come through. I heard it when I played it on my home theater with a big subwoofer. "WOOOMPFF" is about it

So I did a little hearing test today. I watched a Youtube video of a turkey drumming with and without noise cancelling headphones.

Without the headphones I can hear him spit, watch his feathers ruffle, but CANNOT hear the drumming.

With noise cancelling headphones I CAN definitely hear the drumming.

Next experiment will be with walker's game ear headphones, but I need to find them.

Just tried that in my truck....it's got the "premium" sound system, for what it's worth.......................................nothing. I also tried it on my computer using a $300 set of noise-cancelling headphones...also nothing. I've resigned myself to the fact that I simply can't hear that frequency

Me too gomer, it sucks because I remember when I could hear it, and it's one of the most awesome sounds in nature.

I just had a hearing test, and I cant remember the exact numbers, but low frequencies are history.

I hear it fine. In fact, I perk up when I hear somebody's car bass turned up really loud way off and then I'm disappointed when I figure out it is a radio and not a turkey. I've had that happen more than a few times in Perry County.

I can’t hear drumming at all. Seems like every hunting buddy I have can hear them at 150 yards drumming. Every time they ask “you hear him?”. I always say Hell No.

I can’t hear them walking in the leaves either.

I can still hear a gobble just fine so I try to make him gobble before he in in eyesight. It’s
frustrating.
