Ive never experienced feelings of such disappointment in life, while fighting a smile from forming on my face, till now.

Fun fact: The cherry tree was selected out thousands of cherry trees.

I thought the sound was going to be translated into English as well

"3 parts of your strength goes to your left hand, and 7 to your right" That's such a fascinating thing to say

We've been tricked, backstabbed and possibly bamboozled.

not even a minute long but felt like a whole documentary

*Plot twist: "The sound" was actually also dubbed*

- I had them make 50 pairs but selected only one, If this isn't the most stereotypically Japanese thing I've ever heard.😂

I've never before seen an ending so funny yet so infuriating.

Who else was left with an immeasurable emptyness.

Felt like the longest 53 seconds you've spent in your whole life.

I imagine people buying tickets to fill up an entire stadium for this guy to make that sound once, everyone cheers and leaves 😂

The clapping, like everything else in japan, takes a lifetime to master.

When he said: “let them sit in a dark place for several weeks” *I felt that.*

You can hear how depressed those two blocks of wood are.

The title is what makes this video so suspenseful. We’re conditioned to seek out this sound from the very beginning, and it makes the joke land. Without that title, this would just be an intriguing piece about some wooden clappers with a surprise Michael Rosen meme at the end, but with it, we get sucked into this little world and are rewarded with a satisfying punchline. This video is a perfect example of the value of a title pertaining to a video’s effectiveness in engagement and comedy.

This is part of a documentary about sumo wrestling, which is a very long and sacred tradition. Every detail such as the sound of the clappers is carefully preserved.

UKposts Algorithm: "He'll literally watch anything."

What i expected: *plink* What it really sounded like: *plink*

What a magnificent and unique sound! So eventful; I’ve never heard anything else like it!

I didn’t just wait 53 seconds to hear the Michael Rosen click 😭

alternative title: "old japanese guy's 100-step guide on bonking two sticks together "

The 10th ring of hell will be reserved for stealth memers.

As a percussionist, I was actually not as disappointed and bored for 52 seconds. More intrigued and excited cuz I was learning

This is the longest 53 seconds I've ever sat through

Watching this video is the equivalent of looking at the clock in class.

Guy went through a lot of planning to smack 2 sticks together.

This is the most elaborate bait-and-switch I’ve ever seen

I never knew Ugandans had such attention to detail.

I was so focused and interested.. then i got betrayed

I was starting to freak out that he wouldn’t smack them together.

The amount of effort and detail the Japanese put into the most inconsequential things such as a "wooden clapper" is astonishing...

Words cannot express how unbelievably angry I am at this.

Im I the only one who was expecting the sound to be the "YOOOO" sound

I found this a couple years ago and still keep coming back for more

I came back here after a year and it still give me the exact same feelings like the first time.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

see y'all in 5 years when this gets recommended to everyone once again

I can’t imagine the hard work involved in testing ali 53 sets to finely decide on the best clapper. I couldn’t stand going shopping with this man! He would make any undeceives person look like an amateur

The sound is really fascinating. I love it❤

"I had them make 50 pairs but selected only one", If this isn't the most stereotypically Japanese thing I've ever heard. 😂

Fact: the Clappers make a "clapping" sound when "clapped"

I was convinced this was going to show what made the double tap sound at t he beginning of Law and Order. Bugger.

My coworker said "i was born with a ladle in one hand and a staff in the other" i work at a Vietnamese restaurant.

When the guy who plays the triangle tries to look important

This video is a minute long yet it felt like hours.

I was just grateful to hear the sound. Thought the video might leave me hanging by an earlobe👂

“I usually like to ensure the pH of the water is strictly 7, sometimes 8 if I’m feeling a little more alkaline. Anything 6 or below is a no go. I check the acidity with an electronic pH meter just to be sure. You want a nice crisp balanced flavor, so no Dasani [smirks]. I’d recommend Aquafina for beginner’s water if you must go bottled, but honestly room-temperature tap water through a filter is the way to go. Then you get all the minerals. Now glass shape is important. You can either go tall or you can go wide; we call ‘em verties or hories (vertical or horizontal). I like to go with a horie, because I really want to see the water between sips. I think looking at it is half the pleasure. I also always do throat massages and exercises to make sure I get maximum travel velocity down the throat. Hummm, HAA, Hee-where are you going? …not again.”

I liked this video just for the comments. Otherwise, I searched "yoooo japanese sound" and thought this was the origin of the sound, but i was disappointed

Entering this comment section is like walking into a conversation about an event you weren’t presented at.

My man really out here pretending that only one pair of wooden blocks sounded good enough to bang together.

You also get a really 'nice' sound Strikes together: NICE

I honestly thought this was just a normal video

This is it ladies and gentlemen, peak comedy. The internet has fulfilled its purpose and will be shutdown, thank you for participating.

I wish I could use this sound for Slack notifications

This man dedicated his entire life dedicating himself to banging two pieces of wood together, and finding the two perfect pieces of wood to bang together. Now imagine if he had spent that time playing League of Legends

this video is a almost a minute long yet the narrator sounds like he's desperately dragging his voice to get his video to 10 minutes

Video: That's the sound 17M people: Seems legit.

You are doing The Lord's work son.

It’s 3 AM and I don’t have my headphones so I literally was holding the phone up to my ear with the volume really low. Longest I’ve ever waited and I felt deeply betrayed 💀💀

Now that is truly what bitter disappointment sounds like.

Not gonna lie, they got me in the first half.

Thank you sm , now I have to search up how Japanese wood clappers sound at 4 in the morning before peacefully going to sleep🙂

What I expected: "Yooo~!" What I got: **Clack** "NOICE."

Plot twist: the clappers produced the sound "nice"

It's not nice It's *noice*

I laughed way too hard for this😂

Twice a year youtube recommends it to me, twice a year I watch, the sound never changes but still I watch. See you in six months.

1. This has the energy of a Rick roll. 2. This appeared in your recommended. 3. This was probably one of the longest minute you’ve ever been in.

who else's life is falling apart, but took the time to watch this? Just me, ok.

Same sound when my lecturer failed attempt of throwing duster to my head while I was exploring the world through the near window.

wtf i want my minute back

I was convinced “The Sound” was just going to be a wet slapping noise. Ever more disappointment.

"My disappointment is immeasurable And My day is ruined"

*_Somewhere theres a person that hypnotized and any time they hear that sound they do a certain unknown job._*

I don't know what I was expecting. Then it happens. And then I look back & still have no clue what happened or why I am here. Truly one of the videos of all time. Seriously this time though.

0:50 If anyone wants a timestamp

It almost sounds like when you hit two pieces of wood together. Magnificent.

This gentleman was one of the greatest trolls I've ever seen.

53 seconds I’ll never be getting back. That was quite the sick tease

*_A man claps two sticks together_* *18M people:* _"Noice"_

“Im disappointed, but its good.” -Airsoftfatty

That will be on my head for some time now. Thank you :)

A beautiful description of this instrument all for a dude off-camera to go "noice."

I actually wanted to hear the sound instead of michael rosen's pop

That's possibly the most depressed a sound has ever made me feel

"that's the sound" 🤣

Probably the last place I figured I'd find Michael Rosen meme.

for such a theoretically uneventful and calm video, the suspense is enormous

Gamer who takes five minutes to talk about their sponsor before streaming:

Student came to a master and asked him: - What is the most pretentious nation on Earth? The master clapped his cherry tree clappers three times.

Video after video of man's commitment to perfectly concealing a fart. No scheme too elaborate, no layup too wordy, long as the tiiiiming issss jussst... *clap* ....

"Till it's cool, just cool, into the mouth..."

This was worse than getting rick rolled

Literally thought you were gonna omit the sound; had a mild panic

I was so scared thinking in the end he'll not make the sound but thank god he did

"sit for several weeks in a dark place" hey i've done that before its called clinical depression

Only allowed to clap them once every 2 thousand years

Hate to learn what they do to punish the fool who fails the technique to strike the wood block properly when it matters.

I was really not expecting that, i have a chesty cough rn and the wheezy laugh made me nealy choke, thanks
