It's much easier to hear a pin drop when you drop it on an amplified microphone.

well technically i heard the pop and the water rushing out but i think it counts

Can we pause for a second and think about how amazing our ears are? You can literally hear a needle drop in another room.

What's the power level involved in that? Couple of micro watts? Plus the square cube law and you end up with nano or even pico watts reaching your ear.

And your ears dynamic range is literally from a needle drop to a chainsaw at full throttle.
