Unlike videos, Graphics Interchange Format, better known as GIFs, are clips that have no sound.

One of these silent clips has gone viral after almost 70% of people online claim to be able to hear a sound coming from it.

The GIF was created by Twitter user Happy Toast, and has resurfaced online once again after a scientist wanted to better understand why a majority of people can hear a thudding noise.

Dr. Lisa Debruine, a researcher at the University of Glasgow, took a poll to see how many people could hear the GIF, and the results are pretty shocking.

While most people claim they can hear a thudding sound, others took to Twitter to express what other noises they heard.

Here's the clip of the transmission power jumping.

Can you hear a noise? Or does this GIF give you another feeling?
