The El Castillo pyramid in Chichén Itzá makes sounds when people clap.

When you visit Chichén Itzá, in Mexico, you can stand at the bottom of the stairs of the El Castillo pyramid and clap your hands to discover a beautiful chirping sound. It is the sound of a Quetzal bird that echoes through the place. It’s not clear whether the pyramid’s architects knew exactly how the pyramid was going to sound or not, but it is still an incredible spectacle.
