An attempt at a realistic portrayal of what WW1 artillery bombardment sounded like

Yeah...no thanks.
Think about having to endure that for days on end.

They say after an hour or so, a lot of soldiers would fall asleep

That simulation may replicate the effects of the continuous sound, but nowhere close to replicating the intensity of the sound or the feel of the percussion from when an artillery shell explodes.
Hell its loud from 2KM away.

The English called it "Wipers".
Despite the high death toll in the sequel, I'd rather be there than the hellish fields of WW1.

You know of anyone that's been on the receiving end of a heavy artillery barrage?

Now imagine it with mud and dirt and splinters that once were forests raining down around you,
Your friends and comrades being turned to mincemeat, hills pulverized to craters.
Listening to this seems to snap something deep Inside, some madness.
I’ve got the surround sound on full, my neighbors hate me, and all I can feel is pressure. This heaviness in my skull as the air is sucked away and replaced by screaming and chaos and the endless bursts.
The whizzbangs.
Huddled in some goddamn trench when one hits close. The concussion throws me back as shrapnel cuts through my belly. Guts spill out, steaming in the cold.
Fingers fruitlessly try to keep my insides in as my blood pools around my muddy boots.

At the Somme, for every square yard of German front line, a ton of munitions landed on it.
A quarter of a million rounds landed on German front lines the morning of the attack alone.
Verdun was even worse. During the first day’s bombardment, an estimated eighty thousand shells fell on the Bois des Caures, an area measuring five hundred by one thousand yards.

Yeah that’s a surreal thing to hear/feel. Every war broughts it’s own bullshite along with it but I think the shells and gas of WW1 takes the cake.

i honestly don’t know how realistic that is on a number of levels. This claims to be on the receiving end and logistically, that just doesn’t make sense. The sounds of the guns firing are way too clear and all the guns firing sound equidistant too each other. The sounds of shells would also not be equidistanf. Shells that landed closer to you would be much louder. And not all guns would be fired st the same position.
