Extrema Outdoor have today announced that they are to create history by breaking the sound barrier with their huge oversized horn at this year’s festival, held in Houthalen-Helchteren, Belgium, between 22nd and 24th May.
Organisers have claimed this will be the first time the sound barrier will be broken by a stationary object and are predicting that the sonic boom it creates will be heard as far afield as Germany and France.
“Normally only things like jet aircraft, space rockets or DJ Sneak farting manage to break the sound barrier,” explained Extrema Outdoor spokesperson Nick Flemming. “It usually happens when an object moves at the speed of sound, unfortunately we’re a festival and supersonic speed is slightly beyond our capabilities at the moment but we’re hopeful that our horn will be capable of breaking the sound barrier, without moving, by the time the festival begins.”
“The only reason the sound barrier has never been broken by an actual sound before is because no one has ever had anything loud enough to do it,” continued Mr. Flemming. “Apparently it nearly happened a few years ago when David Guetta’s commercial for L’Oréal first aired and 400 million people laughed simultaneously, but that didn’t quite manage it.”
“We’ve made some small adjustments to the horn ahead of this year’s festival,” claimed Flemming, “and we’re confident that by the time we start it up on 22nd May we’ll have the loudest thing on Earth, and we’re including packs of screaming One Direction fans and groups of techno snobs being dismissive about EDM in those calculations.”
“Not only are we going to be creating a sound capable of breaking the sound barrier but we’re also going to be shooting it out of the horn at a speed far greater than the speed of sound,” he proudly revealed. “So people will actually be able to hear the sound before we’ve even made it meaning we’ll be firing off more sonic booms that Guile on expert level in Street Fighter 2.”
According to wildlife conservationists, the horn’s extra loud nature could displace a number of local species, however, Extrema have harbored these concerns by indicating that all wildlife will be fitted with tiny, custom made Extrema animal earplugs.
