I've always wanted to experience this phenomena but haven't. I've walked along
the crests of huge sand dunes in Namibia where the dunes stretched out to the horizon and the sand flowed like water (an ocean of sand). I was listening for the singing and booming but couldn't hear it. I'm not disputing that this phenomena is real. I'm just lamenting that I wasn't able experience it.
