I found this to be very interesting and that the sounds that these spiders produce to be fascinating. Skip to 1:54 to hear the laser vibrometer translate the sound of the vibration the male jumping spider produces.

Thank you Erokia, that was fascinating.

(I've got to get myself one of those laser thingies to see if my house spiders are the cause of my nocturnal tinnitus.)

Or eavesdrop on the neighbours ... https://youtu.be/1zGU_30l6eU?t=292

@strangely_gnarled Sure they aren't having a party in your ears when you sleep?

@Timbre Now that's some clever DIY spy gear.

How about microwaving wasps. The new synthesizer maybe?

Tinnitus is probably not limited to night-time: it's just more obvious then.
(I have tinnitus which I only hear in the quietest room of my home).

Never - My spiders are the only creatures around here that understand social distancing.

Told the Doctor my tinnitus sounded like a saw-tooth so he sent me to the dentist. But your spiders - that's real music.

Yup, day and night Timbre but at night it competes with the voices in my head. And I'm not shining a laser into my eyeballs to prove the voices are real. I know they are.
